[DCboatanchors] FS: nice H-P 606A RF generator (lower price)

[Avery Comarow]

For pickup in Potomac, Md.--stop reading if shipping would be necessary.

A boatanchor classic, this RF generator weighs nearly 50 pounds and uses 20 
tubes. It covers 50 kHz to 65 MHz in six bands, directly readable to 1 
percent accuracy. Two internal crystal calibrators (100 kHz and 1 MHz) 
provide checkpoints with 0.01 percent accuracy. Internal modulation at 400 
Hz and 1 kHz at up to 90 percent. RF output continuously variable from 0.1 
microvolt to 3 volts into 50 ohms. Negligible drift. Two large meters--one 
reads modulation percentage, the other RF output.

I bought this a few years ago from Dee Alquist W4PNT, who does the 
superdeluxe restorations on EFJ Rangers and Valiants and Hammarlund 
receivers. Dee made one modification--he wired in a shielded cable 
preceding the attenuator for direct pickoff. A front-panel BNC remains in 
place for output through the attenuator.

An excellent manual copy is included, in a looseleaf binder with each page 
in its own sleeve.

It's a fine piece of equipment but I'm trying to reclaim a bit of space, 
and the 606A is just too big and heavy. It works flawlessly and looks 
pretty good.

I'll drop the price to $110 from last week's $125. Don't confuse this 
generator with the $50 hamfest specials that may or may not work and that 
you have to pay $$$ extra for a manual!
