If you are patient you can get yourself a sig gen for wll under a 100 bucks on e-bay. And a counter.

If I had to spend a day driving back and forth to your place to align a radio, drag all the stuff inside and back, $300 would not be unreasonable at all, if that's how I made my living. Shipping the set back and forth would cost that much and probably end badly. Of course if you lived down the block, I'd do it for free.

So buy and restore an old signal generator, cheap digital frequency meter, and a good old fashioned VTVM and align the D**n thing yourself. You can do all this for less than $200.00 and you will have more toys!


My point exactly.

I bought this

http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/ohmatsu_lea...tor_l.html

on E-bay for 39 bucks and free shipping, and yesterday I plugged it in and it happened to work and the freq. is exactly where it should be. Even though the guy never promised for it to work; I just thought that nothing much can happen to a 2-tube simple-stupid oscillator, if it is in a very good cosmetic condition (read-stored well) and was made in Japan. Especially for 39 bucks, can't go wrong even if it does not work.
And there's plenty of that where it came from. E-bay, that is.

Got me convinced.I will start watching for these and learn how to use them.
Thanks guy's
murf

Can you recommend brand and freq. etc I should be looking for?
Lots of rf and a few if signal generators on there.Which size would be best for my application?
Thanks
