I decided rather than order another adapter which might not fit I'd put
a BNC
connector in for the wide band input. Electrically it is trivial as
claimed.
Mechanically, I had to make a large hole in the plastic front panel to
allow tthe
BNC plug to slip on.
This is the first complex HP
panel by extending the leads from the power supply board.
Are any of you familiar with the Beethoven test? This alone makes
the price of the instrument worth it.

If they've been sitting there doing nothing for at least three years
there's also the consideration of leaking Ni-Cads on the power supply
boards.
The 3586 is yet another item where the backup battery was often ignored
for very long periods

Chuck,
Got two of these guys, the B and the C. The C is the desirable one,
50ohms,
but you will pay about three times the price. Use the adapter, it's
$16 from
Fair Radio is perfectly happy to have something sit there for decades figuring
they'll get their price eventually.
In this case they want $750 for them:

$16 from the link below, it just isn't worth taking apart
I ordered a BCJ-VWP adapter from Markertek.
A week and $18 later it shows up but does not fit my 3586B.
It is too fat to go into the connector on the HP, and the center
pin is way too fat..

There are three connectors in that style, the WECO358, which is
the standard US Bell connector, The Trompeter video connector,
and the mini WECO, aka the WECO438/440A. The trompeter video
and the normal WECO look like they should be compatible, but
they aren't. The Trompeter connector has a

I have its external reference daisy chained with a radio and two other
instruments sucking 10 MHz from my Thunderbolt.
I have not decided what to do with the ATT
I think that valuable test equipment must stay original and unmodified: get
an adapter. Maybe you can find a cable with the proper connector and put a
BNC on the other end...

I have one of these as well, interesting instrument. I used it with an adapter
for a while then one day got tired of that and found a nice BNC from my bin
which fit beautifully and got rid of the weird connector. It's much nicer this
way. At these frequencies the connector type is based on

If their AGC was better they would also make reasonable high
sensitivity receivers.
You are right; it is amazing to see how far off some broadcast carriers
really are.
