HP3586 Selective Voltmeter Help

Started by amdx October 19, 2017
I bought an HP3596B off Ebay.
  I have a service manual on order.
  First thing I did was remove the leaky battery and thoroughly clean 
the PS board.
It looks good, however if I look down to the edge connector inside the 
unit I can see it has the blue buildup on it from the battery leak. I'll 
save that until I disassemble to clean and lube the switches.

  At power up the self calibration comes back with CE-F.
One poster suggested I put in  Recall, Decimal point, Center Frequency 
,8, when I do that comes back with
Fail  1  0.
  Anyone have info on what the error codes denote?

   It's an HP 3586B, mis-typed below.
