hi all,
I'm starting into my first tube rebuild project. This is a nice old
Heathkit signal generator model IG-102. It appears clean inside and out
and may require some of the standard component replacements. I do know
that electrolytic caps do not age well and these will likely need to be
replaced. My question is around the other parts. What are thoughts
about best practices regarding replacing resistors, inductors, tubes, etc.?
.
I have the test tools to check both LCR and ESR (including in-circuit)
values. However I do not have a tube checker and do not know how to
verify tube wellness. I chose this unit to restore because it is
relatively basic (compared to a transceiver), there is documentation
available, and I also need my first signal generator.
. thanks.
