[time-nuts] Defective High Performance Crystal Oscillators

[Mike M]

I'm interested  in  obtaining your defective  high  performance crystal
oscillators. By defective, I mean

01. no oscillation
02. wrong frequency
03. parastic or spurious oscillations
04. low output
05. distorted output
06. frequency jumps
07. poor or no temperature control
08. unstable frequency
09. frequency drift
10. frequency trim out of range
11. intermittent
12. poor or excessive phase noise
13. rattles when shaken

or any  other  problem  not listed above. I  plan  to  do  a failure
analysis and  try  to  understand what caused  the  problem  and how
frequent it is. I plan to post the results for everyone to review.

I'll be  happy  to pay shipping cost and  some  nominal  fee. Please
contact me offline and let me know the make and model,  what's wrong
with the device(s), and the estimated shipping cost. Least expensive
method is preferred.

This is  a long-term project. I plan to build a  history  of failure
modes across  a  broad range of products so  we  can  understand the
reliability issues better.

Thanks,

Mike Monett
