Pith, post on the Phorum in the want to buy for a basic signal generator with modulation. I believe I bought mine a few years ago for around $20 plus shipping. I have been happy with it. There are ways to adjust without one but if everything is out of wack (an electronic term) it could be very frustrating. Other option is to see if someone in your area can give you a hand. If you were close by I would be happy to help with alignment. You just have to sort if the power supply is working properly and the caps are in right. Try the good old touch the center tap and let us know.
