Nice nab that, I've looked at those before but discounted them as being just another Tech TE-20D in a different format which it clearly isn't because its solid state. It also doesn't do FM modulation only AM but it sure looks in good condition.

I'm happy with my Advance unit, only has a single valve but works perfectly and even has a separate dedicated output to a oscilloscope so you visually see the response curve as well hear it but mine did cost another £5 over yours though. I did notice that like the Tech TE-20D the 96-450MHz band is done using harmonics, so it looks like its a modern version of the Tech jobbie.

Beauty! as Dave would say.
Jubbly! as I would say.

I love the mix of technology, the important elements are the epitome of 'tried & tested'. I'm partial to the looks, too. Good score for less than one of those cased Chinese DDS sig-gens.

I soldered in that huge thermistor on the 2467B. It's a no- go. Just too damn big. I've sent a msg to vintage Tek, on the advice of the wonderful Alan Wolke, to see if they might have a lead on a more suitable replacement.

Also, with regards the Vintage Tek Museum, they are having a fundraiser for the digitizing of their micro-fiche collection and are nearly 2/3 of the way to their goal. Any help from the TEA-fiends here will surely not go amiss!

Yep it is exactly a modern version of the TE-20D really which is a modern version of something far older.

Despite them not doing FM modulation, they do actually. The AM modulation sucks enough that it causes FM deviation as well  :-DD (My Baofeng in the video is a 2m FM rig - would have been silent without frequency modulation)

w2aew FTW. He's a forum member here as well. Interested to see how you get on as I want a 2467 :)

Oh you stuck it up on a scope then  ;)
