[Premium-Rx] OT: HP3586B questions!

[chuck maurer]

I have three HP 3586Cs and would really like to get a
maint manual.  Very interesting box --- picked them up
cheap due to minor problems.  I agree about the demod
problems but it seems to have great potential.

Please let me know about a manual.
Thanks,
Chuck Maurer
