I've read that if in storage sitting on the feet on back / front facing up , that some lube ? in the main oscillator flows over time and you can loose the signal , have you come across this ?

Otherwise, a fine signal generator and you can have mine when you pry it from my cold dead hands! :-DD

All photos are gone Sue, suggesting to use forum's attachment feature rather than external hosting.

Photos are too small when using the attachment feature.
When I have time I will repair the thread...
WastelandTek:
It has been a long time, and I am well aware what a pain in the posterior repair of the thread would be, but I would like to plead with you to take the time for the sake of future restorations.
I had the pleasure of reading this thread before the photobucket fiasco and it was absolutely top notch.
