Part 3/5:
Traveling a considerable distance to secure this piece, Paul drove about 150 miles to meet the seller, totaling roughly 300 miles round trip. He mentions the $170 total expenditure—comprising the purchase price plus an additional $75 paid to meet the seller halfway, with extra toll costs bringing the total to around $20. The seven-hour drive underscores his dedication to building his collection and the value he finds in acquiring such vintage gear.
Initial Inspection and Setup
Once on-site, Paul examines the signal generator, noting that he still needs to power it up. He describes the power input, which is a standard receptacle, but mentions that the original power cord's end would need modification since modern plugs might not fit into the unit’s round hole without some work.
