Re: HP 8660B/86602B developed output stability problem, getting-started suggestion(s) request
If you can locate an HP 11707A test plug in, it can be a bog help. It brings many of the signals out to the front of the unit for easy access.
Unfortunately I do not see any on EBAY...

There's a trick if you can do it, for holes connected to ground planes (also works for those not).

That's a side effect of one of its biggest strengths: minimal vacuum hose length. The vacuum path from the tip to the pump is only a few inches, as compared to several feet for desoldering systems
