[Test-Equipment] HP-3336B

Hi Steve
 
It was me that posted that and if you check the schematics in the manual  
you'll see that it's exactly as I described.
The balanced output sections follow the attenuator and the attenuator  
output is via a coaxial socket, can't remember now without looking but probably  
SMA or SMB, and there's no reason why you can't just plug into  that and 
fit what suits you on the front panel.
 
The 3336 is a great piece of equipment but watch out  for attenuator 
problems on earlier versions that have an actuator that  clips onto the PCB and 
makes and breaks contacts across some PCB pads. I've got  one like that and 
it's a real pain to get it working reliably, even when  visually there seems 
to be nothing wrong with it, but my later one never gives  any trouble.
 
I seem to remember some online service manuals not having the schematics  
but I've got full pdfs of the user and service manuals if you need copies.
 
regards

it  appears that the HP 3336B takes the smaller mini-WECO connector: WECO 
440A,  and the HP 3336B option 01 takes the standard (larger) WECO 358A  
connector.

See paragraph 1-15 in the 3336  manual.

There's  a suggestion from the Time-Nuts list that it's fairly easy to add 
a 50 ohm BNC  output to a  3336B:
