Looking for a legible copy of HP8566B spectrum analyzer service manual

[tkamiya]

I am trying to troubleshoot HP8566B spectrum analyzer.  Its issue is YTO unlock.

What I would like to have is a Service Manual with legible circuit diagram.  HP/Keithly website has a downloadable version.  Its text are decent but fold out circuit diagram are awful because it's reduced in size.  I cannot read most labels or figures.


Does anyone know of a place where I can download or buy LEGIBLE copy of this manual?

Artek Manuals has this - http://artekmanuals.com/manuals/hp-manuals/

I've bought many manuals from them, they're licensed by Keysight to do this and thus invest in high quality scans.

Can't recommend them highly enough.

If you can get access to a large format printer you'll find their scans produce wonderfully crisp and legible schematics.

I got an old designjet 650c for $50 and now I can print schematics as big as I want.  For something like the 8566b that can be helpful.

Artek is a great resource - I have a few pieces of gear saved by their manuals.
