HP 8640B - OPT 323 Service Manual

[SuperMario]

Hi,
I am looking for the service manual for HP 8640B - OPT 323. This is a military version of HP8640B. The problem is in the frequency counter circuit, it displays 60% of set value. RF output is at correct frequency. I have manual for the 8640B but counter part is different. If anyone can help with this issue please let me know.
Thanks.

Don’t know if this is real, but here’s a manual listed for sale, $65.  I’ve not seen a free pdf with the option 323.

It might be worth emailing Dave at Artek Manuals to see if any of the 7 different scans he sells cover option 323. Not free, but not $65 either. The 8640B-AN/USM-323 manual sounds like it might be the right one.

Ordered one from ArtekManuals for $12.50. Still waiting for download link.
Thanks for the suggestion.

They usually send the link in a day or two. It seems to be a somewhat manual process. They are very helpful and responsive, should there be any problem.
It is well worth the waiting, they are very high quality scans.

Got my manual and fixed the unit. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Yay!  So what was wrong?
