I don't think chip op-amps appear until the 5065 is a toddler, later
revs use a couple of them.

The only thing I feel like beating them up about, is that appearantly
they didn't consider the tempco of the R10||R11 pair (or maybe it is
just R10 - not sure yet).

Either way:  If any of you have a non-amazing HP5065, Measure the
A15CR5 voltage, multiply it by 76, and replace R10||R11 with something
of that value and better than 5PPM tempco.
