This is a Heathkit model # SG-8 RF (Radio Frequency) Signal Generator. It generates RF signals from 160 kHz through 110 MHz (up to 220-MHz by using harmonics, which are calibrated on the front panel frequency control.) It has a built-in AF (Audio Frequency) Generator or can accept an external audio source. It uses two - vacuum tubes. All switches and controls move smoothly.I did apply AC power to the Generator, and while listening to a nearby ICOM HF Ham Radio Receiver, I was able to hear the Generator on several bands as I varied the frequency control. Since only very minimal power-on testing has been done, it's being sold as-is under eBay's condition grading of "For parts or not working" even though it appears to be in very good condition. Like most vintage test equipment, it will probably need some alignment and calibration. The copper chassis is in good condition, and I've taken pictures of the insides from multiple angles to show it. An original SG-8 Instruction Manual with the large fold-out construction sheets and schematic are included. The manual is also available for free on-line download if you'd like more information. Please see the excellent SG-8 Signal Generator article on the Orange County ARC web site: https://w6ze.org/Heathkit/Heathkit_061_SG8.pdfThis Heathkit SG-8 would be an excellent addition to your Ham Radio or Vintage Radio test bench equipment collection!

Local pickup is available, but PayPal cannot be used for payment if you're picking up the item, since PayPal needs proof of shipment to be covered under their rules. Shipping is ONLY to a PayPal Confirmed Address. It is the responsibility of the BUYER to make sure the address listed on their account is correct. Please update your account address before buying, as I cannot send items to a different address than the one provided on your account. Any International sales must use eBay's International Shipping Program service, where I ship the unit to their forwarding center, and eBay takes care of the necessary customs, etc. paperwork, and then they ship onward to the winning bidder. No Direct Overseas Sales! No shipping to Germany, due to their new seller and shipping requirements. Because of the shipping arrangements that are done out-of-state, I am not able to combine shipment of multiple items. I ship within five days of the end of the sale and receipt of the payment. Please understand that once I've dropped off an item to be shipped, I have no further control of when it will actually arrive at your location. Occasionally, the shipping company routes the package through some far, out-of-the-way locations which can greatly delay the shipping time, compared to what eBay quotes for delivery times. Please see my other eBay listings for additional Amateur Radio, Test Equipment and Electronic items. Thanks for looking!
