[Test-Equipment] Hickok 288X signal generator--update

[Brian Burns]

Hello again Pete and All,

Well duuuuh! With the slightest bit of searching I found that the Heath
board is a square wave generator for scope calibrating, and was obviously
added sometime in the mid 1970's. 

One comment on the Antique Radio Forum that made me laugh was "It's about as
accurate as a sundial", but another disagreed, and said the board was quite
accurate and useful.

In any case the Heath pcb is quite irrelevant to the restoration process,
and I'm open to any suggestions for how to proceed. Re-capping is pretty
obvious, as is checking for resistors that are out of spec, and testing for
weak tubes.

I figure that it's poor economy to use less than the best replacement parts,
and would really appreciate recommendations for types of caps and resistors
to use, as well as what supplier to get them from.

Thanks for all your help, guys!

Cheers,

Brian
