Be aware that such a simple piece as you have there likely does not use an AC line isolation transformer. It would be very wise to have the set under test powered through an isolation transformer.
Thank You Kevin , and yes indeed I intend to run it (the bar generator) on my isolation transformer and the TV I'm planning to connect it to is one of those little 5" B/W portables that takes a zillion D batteries and luckily has an antenna input . It's now just a matter of me digging out that little TV ...
