Thanks, Codefox --

Yes -- I decided the first order was to spruce up the generator. I deoxed the controls and switches and I'm in the process of putting in a diode bridge (instead of a diode) plus new electrolytics -- and a BNC connector for the cable.

All the Philco Service Bulletins that I've seen say to measure the signal at the primary of the output xformer -- but I have no problem measuring across the voice coil if that works. Lower voltage to worry about.
But -- should I be getting a variation on the meter when I change the attenuation? Or are the compensating caps the only things that affect the meter reading?
