Does anyone have a suggestion for an accurate but affordable frequency generator? A working HP 606B generator goes for more than $300 on eBay. Sweep generators used during this TV's era, like the Hickock I had that was electromechanical (and had a destroyed speaker cone inside)...were they accurate like these modern digital equivalents? I thought getting and meticulously restoring the Eico, which is early 1980s technology, and getting new, custom built cables for RF out, demod in and scope out would have been more than accurate enough to align a TV from 1948. Am I missing something here? Like I posted in the other thread, I measured the RF frequency out of the Eico using the HP oscilloscope. It varied about 0.08 megacycles plus/minus around the intended frequency. Is using an oscilloscope in this manner an acceptable way to check the accuracy and stability of an RF generator?
