Signal Generator Help
#1

Hello everone I just put in an offer on fleabay for a Radio City Products Model 705A Signal Generator and it appears to have at least its RF Probe still the AF Probes don't appear to be present but look to be a standard banana plug style probes which would be fairly easy to acquire or make new ones. 

If they accept my offer I would be getting it for $25 plus $25 shipping, which is the cheapest I've seen them go for, as they seem to go for as much as a couple thousand for a high end Hewlett-Packard unit without its probes which I think seems a bit over priced for a piece of equipment that not many people use anymore, except radio repair hobbyists like us.

My question is, how does one work one of these, and can one find the manuals for these things online? I was thinking that the Boat Anchor Manual Archive would be one place that should have manuals for signal generators like this but I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated in this subject.
