Philco Type-024 Signal Generator
#8

Thanks to everyone for your help and interest. My dad worked at the RCA color TV plant in Memphis from 1968-72. One Christmas, he brought home a color TV he manufactured at the plant. That led me to get a PhD in electrical engineering with a focus on semiconductors. I have an electronics lab set up in my basement where I still work on this stuff. Obviously I need therapy. I've met others in electronics whose dads worked at RCA and GE mfg. plants across the US. The exposure filters down.

To get back to your question, it's in average shape. I worked on this awhile but have too many projects on my bench so I asked Alberto at Atomic Tube to help out. He can get the A frequency range to oscillate but not the other band. Regrettably, the schematic seems to be a general guideline which is somewhat apparent. If anyone has more detailed info on this particular model, it would definitely help. Glad to see others keeping the faith. It makes a bigger difference than you think.
