In Reply to: RE: My old Wavtek RF signal generator croaked. posted by Michael Samra on June 12, 2016 at 17:10:12
Hi Michael,
I should have noted from your first post that you are working on transmitters and therefore will need more output.
While I don't put Wavetek in the league with HP, I'd hate to see this generator go into the bin. I actually worked for Wavetek at one time.
Are you going to be selling the Wavetek? What is it's frequency range and does it sweep?

Mine to goes from 1khx to 520mhz. I would think Wavetek may be as good or possibly better than HP. The HP generators I can pick up for a couple hundred bucks all day long on Ebay..Mine isn't but they have ones are on the level with HP I would guess.
If I sell mine,I will let you know.It is working again because I had gone in and cleaned the sub vernier pots and readjusted them..I'm still buying a new generator tho..I'll get an HP or another Wavetek but more modern.

it has been up there a while and it was 700obo..The guy comes back with a counteroffer of 700 and it's listed for 700..LOL
I only like it because it's smaller..It can take 50 watts in but I always pad the thing just in case.

You would think he would have at least cleaned off the coffee drips before taking the pictures.
Hi Michael,
Glad you got the Wavetek working. The price on the HP generator gives an old retired guy some pause. A while back I saw an 8640 for just over $100. Even though I can remember when those were new it is an old instrument. Still I always liked using them. I'm wishing that I bought it.

you can pick up a generator on ebay pretty cheap..Here is one like mine and I bet you can get it for 39 dollars.

Hi Michael,
I'm watching that generator now. I'm going to ask if he has the manual.
If he does not and I win it could you scan yours for me?
Thanks,
Phil
There is also a service manual

You can find Wavetech service manuals and operating manuals all over the web for free. This is the link and you don't need to donate to it.

Hi Michael,
I did not win it, but should I win another, I'm ready.
Thanks,
Phil
