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 Cape May, NJ -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts <time-nuts-boun...@febo.com> On Behalf Of Tisha Hayes Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 9:50 PM To: time-nuts@febo.com Subject: [time-nuts] Introduction, new list member, Ms Tisha Hayes, AA4HA 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. *Ms. Tisha Hayes, AA4HA* *(Senior Engineer with 4RF USA)* *Gadsden, Alabama* _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
