I have been using an old nondescript military signal gen when working 50
khz. IF strips in conjunction with a digital receiver to be certain of the
accuracy of the setting.  Worked pretty good for BAs.  Even had a
non-glowister modification to sweep the range for using a scope with it.

Unfortunately, it turned itself into a pile of smoke & carbon.  A pet
accident wrecked the unit.beyond any reasonable repair.

The question:  Is there an old readily available rf generator that goes down
to the 50 khz range required to align dual conversion BAs?  Every one I have
examined stops somewhere above the needed frequency.
