[time-nuts] HP 3586B Selective Level Meter

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

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 instrument I've had.  I was right at home 
with the
1980 construction.  The first computers I designed for Sidereal in 1975 
also used the 6800.

So do I call it a 3586B+ or B-?
