Signal generator test leads
#1

Sorry for the newbie question... I've been searching and have not yet achieved enlightenment... or maybe this is so basic no one talks about it?

But I have a new signal generator in one hand and a tube radio in the other, and they need connecting.
I understand that at a minimum I need to put a capacitor in line with the "hot" lead to avoid toasting the signal generator.
Fine, but what's a good way to do this?

- I doubt that a string of alligator clips and caps flopping around on the workbench is right.
- Could make up a lead with a cap soldered in, but the idea of a solid-lead cap with no strain reliefs flopping around in a cable doesn't sound right either.
- And if this is SOP, wouldn't there be ready-made test leads for this? Not finding any...
