Is it worth rebuilding?
#10

Hello all. Opened the unit up today and found it to be in fairly good condition, all things considered. It didn't have batteries in it, but a few notes written way back when about the instrument that is making me reconsider rebuilding it. The one note that has me considering my options was "signal generator operates erratically". The unit operates with A, B, and C batteries, 1.5 volt, 4.5 volt, and 45 volt respectively. The 1.5 and 4.5 were simply D cells. The 45 volt was an old burgess radio battery. Figure I can put together five 9 volt batteries to make up that if I chose to go further with it. Several caps to replace and resistors to check at this point. We'll see...... Take care, Gary
