Guys,
I got this generator at the Dallas spring auction for like $10. I ordered all new caps and resistors. Also changed the outputs to BNC. It was a bit of a rust bucket. After I painted the chassis, I rewired the whole thing and installed new caps and resistors.

I calibrated it like the instructions say to at 10KC. Seeing that this is an inexpensive signal generator, the signal doesn't track very well with the dial scale - no surprise there. I always use a freq. meter anyway.

Works well enough to align my restored AM radios.

It was fun and easy to do.

I have before and after pictures.
