Hi Allan!

Do you have the oven or the TCXO?  If TCXO, I don't know how to help, 
but if the oven, I bought a new one :-)  It was the (well known) 
"hunting" behavior of some of the earlier ovens, they weren't up to 
specs.  I think you'll need to buy the TCXO because they no longer have 
ovens, not a hard repair.
