[time-nuts] Introduction, new list member, Ms Tisha Hayes, AA4HA

Hi Tisha,

Welcome to our group.  We are fortunate to have another technicians technician in our gaggle. I have replaced the bulb in two of n 3586b units and it was not difficult.  I may have an extra bulb I can send you and somewhere on this list I think there was an article on replacing same.  The 3586 is quite a versatile unit, along with being a musical instrument.

 Turn up the volume, then Push "recall"  "decimal point" "center freq'  "8" and then wait a few seconds.

73,

Bill, WA2DVU

Greetings to all of the time-nuts on this list. I too have an interest
(obsession?) with precision frequency measurement. I have known, visited and had dinner with Perry Sandeen (also a list member) while he lived in Tennessee where we shared a common interest in the beloved R-390A receiver and test equipment.

Perry and I would make our pilgrimages to the Huntsville Ham Fest and usually I ended up buying equipment from him. One of the items he sent my way was an HP 3586B that I am finally beginning to put to use.

I am trying to find out how to fix the tuning control on the HP3586B and that led me back to this list. If anyone has suggestions on making repairs I would appreciate the info; I am very capable of troubleshooting and making component level repairs, even if I have to take the tuning control apart to fix the optical chopper light source.
