Making a Tracking Generator for the HP 8566B Spectrum Analyzer

The HP 8566B is the gold standard of vintage spectrum analyzers. It covers an enormous 100 Hz to 22 GHz band (and weighs a ton). Unfortunately, the HP 8444A tracking generator which I previously used with the HP 8568B (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yZOW_aABlk) does not work with the 8566B. But here is how to modify an analog oscillator plug-in from an 8530B sweeper to make a baseband (up to 2.5 GHz) tracking generator for the 8566B.
