I have recently obtained the holy grail for me - an 8566B.
They are rare as hens teeth in Australia!
I have a 8568B as well and my phase noise floor is somewhere way down there on
that machine ;)
However it appears the internal 10Mhz reference had died on the new (old) 8566B.
I haven't room on

Before you tear into the OCXO, have you checked to be sure it is
properly connected and set up, and its working conditions are right?
There must be a BNC jumper on the back to connect the 10 MHz, and the
reference selector switch set to internal.
Furthermore, the power to the XO section is

Hi Mark,
Did you see this site? This person also had the unlock problem and some

When the unit is up and running, you won't be able to tell if the
oven is working from touch - the fan blows right at it. If you open

a little warm. Also, of course, check the oven power supply, which
should always be on
