I am confused about the connections on the HP TCXO. Am I supposed to have connection to Pins 8 & 9, Oven Controller? If so, what and where do they connect? Thanks -- Paul K.

See the info at http://www.leapsecond.com/museum/10544/1972-Oct-hp-10544A.pdf Yes, you do need to connect these pins. The simplest connection would be pin 9 to ground, pin 8 to the same regulated DC supply voltage that you feed to pin 3. The HP document suggests that it's better to have some noise filtering between pins 3 and 8.
