Jim Roik (jnroik@escape.ca) asked about a Telonic Model 
4053B sweep generator.  As Fred Olsen noted, the company 
was originally located in Indianna and then merged to 
become Telonic-Berkeley and moved west to California.

I talked to them about 15 years ago after I purchased a 
Telonic SPI-64 sweep generator.  I was told that when the 
company moved west, most of their RF engineers stayed in 
the midwest going to work for Wavetek.  There was one old 
fellow at Telonic-Berkeley who remembered the SPI-64 as 
being one of their rushed specialty government products but 
he did not remember any details.  I was told they had moved 
very little of their documentation.

I finally was able to purchase a manual for my unit from 
Tucker Electronics about seven years after I bought the 
generator (and I paid more for the manual than I did the 
generator).  You might try them and other manual sources as 
well as used equipment dealers.
