Re: 693B sweep oscillator restoration
You would be better off adding a transformer wired to buck the extra voltage. It won't generate a lot of heat, like the series resistir, and it won't degrade the line regulation. A transformer with a 12.6 Volt secondary would reduce the line voltage by that amount. A flimant transforme with a secondary rating equal ot higher than the load current, plus a box and some AC connectors are all that is needed. Measuer the output voltage. If it is higher, then reverse either the primary or secondary wiring to change from boost to buck mode.

1. I had a manual problem with my 651B, Found several manuals which had portions with teh same circuit boards as my unit and that was good enough to get by. 2. Barring blowing any of it in sensitive circuits such as open air variable caps, and having a DRY air stream (do NOT use wet compressed air) blow it out. Maybe with an intert gas duster can such as sold for computer keyboards. Its possible to force moisture in circuits where it wont come out without heat. 3. Welcome to Oz. Tube gear is a specialty of mine. Its a particular problem. Several steps in general:
In general, for all tube gear:
a.) Replace ALL capacitors- electrolytic, tubular paper etc. Theyre probably 50-70 years old. Old caps are monsters waiting to do circuit damage. Ive seen many blow up.
b.) Check ALL bias resistors around each tube. A grid resistor going up in value can destroy a plate resistor or do damage other components or a tube.
c.) Its vital to clean tube pins. No one does it. I remanufacture old Drake ham gear and one of the first items is to spend two tedious hours with 600 grit sandpaper sanding the hard black oxides from the tube pins. The pins were shiny when new (have replaced lots of them). The cleaned pins will scrape oxides from the inside of the socket pins, so don't do anything to a socket (unless its broken) except maybe spray some cleaner thru them. Oxidised and bent tube pins can cause erratic operation a/o noise blamed on other circuit problems.
d.) high voltages, of course, are a problem. One can get dead working on tube gear. Learn/Practice the 'one hand in the pocket' rule around tube voltages.
e.) H fields. Build an E field generator to cancel them out.
f.) CRITICAL. Tube gear was made in the "107-115 VAC" AC line voltage era. Vacuum tubes use filaments (heaters) that are very sensitive to filament current (its a current vs. temperature square -function thing). I just rebuilt a 1990s oscilloscope in which the 4 power supply regulator transistors were screaming hot (burned my finger touching the heat sink)- all because the AC line voltages here now go to 126 VAC, on a scope intended for 115VAC max. I put a 15 ohm, 5W resistor in series with the power transformer and cooled the heat sinks down to 86 degrees F. Excess line voltage can destroy tubes, if too high, shorten heater/cathode life, or too low, cause cathode poisoning. Many tubes require 5% filament voltage regulation and if operated from the AC line, may have no regulation built in.

Re: HP 8591 external reference connector (1250-1499)
I used these RA cables on a couple of my HP3325A Function Generators, until I can try to make my own version of the originals. I wonder if there is enough market? to try to sell them?

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
Hi Jinxie, You need your existing splitter (or better a 2 resistor 1 in 2 out one) an a Return Loss Bridge (RLB) either professional or one like this
Connect the SA output to the splitter, 1 splitter output to SA R input, other splitter output to RLB input (terminate any unused splitter outputs) RLB output to SA A input. RLB "REF" to known good load. and loa under test to RLB "Test".? zero and infinate calibration use another known good load and short on RLB test post.
A Reflection test set like the HP 8502A contains these parts and an attenuator in a handy package.

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
I think that an honest question regarding measuring SWR or return loss has gone off on a strange tangent. The answer to the question is relatively easy to answer if we know what frequency range is involved, and perhaps the type of connectors will be used and what the person currently has on hand.
What we don't know is what sort of equipment is available to the person who asked the question.
The S11 measurement is a very common one and is not "black magic" to perform. Usually the results are expressed as return loss (in decibels) or as voltage standing wave ratios.
Since there are several ways to make the measurement, what is needed to describe the procedure to the person asking for help, is to know what he currently has available to make the measurement. I assume that he doesn't want to spend a lot of money buying additional equipment.?
He asked for assistance, and that is what I offered. Possibly free advice is worth what you pay for it.

I have noticed the same issue. Five years ago those things seemed really common, now it took looking on eBay for a couple of months just to find a single set of four. That said, I am sure they are still out there - you just have to wait a bit sometimes for a set to come along.

Re: HP 3456A Problem Solved
Larry, I had a similar symptom with my 3456A.? It was intermittent when I got it, but since it worked a good part of the time I decided to keep it and live with it.
After a while the intermittent stopped and it's been perfect ever since.? I decided it must be that it hadn't been used enough and some oxide built up in critical places.
After reading your post, I know what to look for in case it acts up again.

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
What you missed Jeff is that he didn't state what sort of test equipment he had, and what frequency range he intended to use as well as connector types. With a modern piece of equipment like the NanoVNA (less than $50 USD) you don't need any accessories; they are all there. The only limitation is the frequency range. A fancy network analyzer may need many accessories to make a simple S11 measurement (even if only scalar). Without more information from the user, it's a question than can't be answered.
