Bought this to replace the crystal oscillator in my Heathkit IM-2420 frequency counter. After 40 years of baking in the counters’ crystal oven at 75°C, the original oscillator components were all crispy critters.As another reviewer mentioned, I found the modules’ trim pot was 200 K, not 100 K as shown in the listing photo. Also, it could not be adjusted to satisfactory accuracy. I don’t have a certified, calibrated, traceable, etc frequency standard, just a vintage commercial video sync pulse generator with a 3579545 Hz chroma subcarrier output. that other reviewer also mentioned you could short R3, then crank the trim pot fully clockwise until it clicks, and get within one hertz. I was able to duplicate his results so I feel my frequency counter is now accurate enough. in my photo you can see the blue jumper wire across R3.

I bought mine to calibrate a frequency counter. At this price I didn't put much credibility in the specification of .01HZ, which would be one cycle off from WWV in over 1 1/2 minutes. The first one I bought got down to within 1.5 HZ. The calibrate trimmer couldn't bring it into spec. The second one arrived with the power socket and a tiny surface mount resistor right behind the socket both broken loose and lying in the bottom of the mylar bag. I re-soldered both back into place. It works perfectly, once I repaired it. No ripple, no frequency change with changing load. Very stable and quiet.
