Anyone  know a source for WECO 439A/440A connectors and adapters?   Optimist
that I am, I thought they would be easy to find.

Coping  with an HP 3336B.

Thanks for any help you can  offer.

Hi Bill
 
Do you actually need the balanced outputs that the WECO connectors  provide?
 
I ask because all models of the 3336 share a common attenuator section and  
that provides both 50 and 75 ohm unbalanced coaxial outputs.
 
The 75ohm output is taken to the front panel on all models but the 50 ohm  
output is only taken direct to the front panel on the C variant. On the A 
and B  versions the 50 ohm output from the attenuator feeds the  output 
interface  to the balanced connectors, module A10 on the 3336A and A11 on the  
3336B.
 
It wouldn't be difficult though to directly access the 50 Ohm coaxial  
output from the attenuator and bypass the output module if balanced  outputs 
wasn't actually a requirement.
