No problem.

However, before proceeding later, I may make a recommendation to safeguard the generator.

I always worry in the event the output of the 8601a if the clip comes loose should accidentally touch the B plus supply in the set, the 200 plus volts may blow up the output hybrid amplifier of the 8601a. To safeguard the generator, I would suggest inserting in series with the generator a 1500pf or thereabouts capacitor. I made up my own lead with the capacitor permanently in series with heat shrink over the capacitor and connection with a croc clip on the other capacitor lead. Just as a safeguard. There is some protection on the output but not to protect you from a 250volt application.

Just a suggestion.
