HP 5065A Rubidium Frequency Standard

With 5065AGuru providing advice and cheering me on, I was able to repair it. Since Corby said that my failure was unusual, I thought I'd document the three problems I ended up fixing for the possible benefit of other owners. My 5065A is a late vintage unit with a serial number prefix of 2816A which suggests a manufacturing date of 1988 or 1989.
