Ed:

The manual is confusing, and I have not had access to pull my 8553 out of
the 141 to confirm any of this.  In any event, the connector appears to
be a BNC to SMB, but there is a 3.9 �f blocking capacitor in there
somewhere before the input filter, and it is very unclear exactly where
it is physically located, except it is called module A12.

While those BNC to SMB connectors are still around and were used in a lot
of HP gear, they are nothing special, and any good panel BNC could be
installed and connected to the pigtail which goes to the A12 module. 
With a top end of 110 MHz, it is pretty forgiving.

The manuals appear regularly on that E place, BTW, although I hear some
of the CDs are not of the best quality.

Good luck!
