Signal Generator
#3

With some or these entree level generators there are no adjustment to calibrate them like the Heath SG-6,7,and 8. A counter would be mandatory for accurate frequency setting. They can be had for abt $10 and a month wait as they come from China.
A lot of the older generators use what are affectionately known as belly button connectors for the audio in/out and rf out. Technically they are a Switchcraft 2501MP, their not hard to come by but if you do have to make up the cables it's abt $10 per to build them.
In the Heath line the LG-1, IG-42 and IG-102 are several steps above the SG sets. They do command a few more dollars. If you get a counter it doesn't matter much which one you chose if your just doing am and sw alignments.
I've been using an older SG-7 w/a counter for the last couple of years. Is it great? nah more like the model T of generators but it will get you there.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
