This is just a post for stitched together schematics, separate parts list (still NOT higher resolution than you've probably already seen), and separate manual changes.

Now updated with all manual changes.​

Orange indicates components value changed.​

Some components also removed from schematics.​

Anyone out there add Option 001 to their 339A's themselves?

The HP 339A ....with option 001 installed used an A53/Power Supply assembly instead of
an A3 Analyzer/Power Supply. The boards are electrically the same with the following exceptions:

Pics from the innards of my 399A.

Based on this info, with a prefix 2025, mine was made week 25 of 1980.

Words of advice: get the analyzer working to original spec before attempting any of the upgrades you'll find here in the forum. I'm not denigrating any of these efforts, just recommending you start from a working instrument and introduce improvements systematically, one at a time.

Good luck, enjoy!

That's one of the best pieces of advice you'll receive in your lifetime.

Oh come on Steve, what fun is that? The challenge of changing everything, upgrading, modifying, etc
and THEN
we find out it doesn't work...

Which was (were) the (one) piece(s) that was causing the original issue.
Now, where to begin to trouble shoot?
Undo all the upgrades, modifying, etc.
Get back to original unworking condition again.

Oh, which parts did I throw away, was I too efficient with their disposal?
Did the trash man comeith and takeith away? He just came, can I hunt
him down for that unobtainium part I didn't know was discontinued two
decades ago that was special "qualified' order.
What do you mean you emptied your truck at the transfer station?
It's already off to the land fill is it near by? Another city, which state?
Oh its on the transfer barge.

PITA

Now what do I do?

Cheers,

Imgur was currently over capacity. All that AI stuff sucking everything into its memory structure.

It's only just begun....

Words to abide by methinks.

Updated the schematics to include all manual changes, included some notes.

I saw that Fig 8-13, F100: fuse value was changed from 0.62A to 0.1A for serial numbers 1730A02436 and up.

The fuses in both of my units are 0.062A.
