[GreenKeys] Speaking of manuals, OT (Heathkit)

In cleaning out my father's file cabinets, I came across this manual:

"Assembling and using your Heathkit Signal Generator, Model G-1"  083 4-17-48

Included is a 4-page Heathkit catalog and a one-page addition entitled

"Converting your G-1 Signal Generator" 8-18-49

Converting it to what?  I haven't figured that out.  There are cross-outs on the schematic for the original version, I think someone crossed out each component as they built their generator.  The signal generator they built is long gone, or at least, long separated from its manual.  The catalog blurb says 150Kc (Note, not Hz) to 30Mc, with 400c audio modulation.  I get the feeling there might be lots of square waves here because they say "strong harmonics up to 100Mc."  Two tubes, one rectifier, one dual triode. 

Free to anyone who wants it.  I'll even pay postage.
