Re: 3585B Spectrum Analyzer

3585B Spectrum Analyzer
I was fortunate enough to receive the 3585b SA recently. When I first picked it up it powered up fine and display appeared to be normal. Getting it home and after setting it up, it again worked fine.

Re: Just purchased HP 3586B--EBAY
I suspect that the WECO 372A is made up of two WECO 358A plugs along-side each other ‘cos we always used a pair of WECO 477B sockets for 124 Ohm on the front panel. In fact the ones we used were

The correct matching parts are a WECO 358A Plug to a WECO 477B Socket. The comment(s) about Trompeter Plugs is absolutely correct. I’m not sure if there is different part which is a direct
