philco tropic model 42-760
#79

I'd suggest putting an ad in the Wanted Ads section to see if anyone on here might have one they want to get rid of.  I just sold my EICO 324 a couple months ago unfortunately.    

You can also keep and eye out for one on EBAY.  Of course all the cautions about EBAY buying for radios also hold for signal generators, i.e., "its working" probably means the pilot lamp came on, and they usually need recapping if someone hasn't already done it.

I have a Heathkit IG-102 that gets the job done and a Lafayette KT-208 Generator/Tracer.  What you need is a generator that provides an RF signal and which will also allow you to modulate that signal with an audio signal.  

Others with more experience will surely have opinions on good models to be on the look out for.
