Wow she is a beauty. Yes $600 in 1949 is a little over $7900 today. Yikers. Unique band selector turret. Future restoration videos of it and later vintage radios. Mr. Carlson would approve of it for sure. Thanks Terry.
Nice Score Terry: General Radio was a premier MFG of laboratory test equipment in the day. It still will outperform a lot of our present-day equipment given the same specifications.
Terry, I can't wait for the subsequent episode(s)! That generator's visage is in amazing condition. Knowing that gear is 75 years in antiquity just adds to the suspense. I look forward to the next D-lab installment with great eagerness.
The Jerrold sweep generator I remember was even more robustly built than that GenRad. It belonged to a friend (who is sadly no longer with us) who was in the business of buying and selling industrial lots.
I'm so happy that there are folks like you who still appreciate & use this vintage equipment. I spent decades using similar equipment - mostly HP & Tektronix - but alas I've become spoiled by the much smaller modern generators. If I need a signal then I simply punch in frequency & amplitude and voila! - there it is with utmost accuracy. BUT I do still have & sometimes use my old friend - the AN/URM-25D :).
Hi Terry! I just picked up on at a yard sale but mine appears to be a little newer the cabinet is gray and the meter is larger but everything else looks the same and has that distinctive smell. Can’t wait for more videos! 73
What a BEUTIFUL BEAST! Can't wait to see it in operation. I think Mr. Carlson is drooling. LOL
Quite a fellow there, that Mr. Carlson.

Good lord, Terry. That’s a genuine masterpiece……👍
That's quite a treasure you got there. General Radio, a respected historical name.

He boxed the thing in a very expensive HAZMAT box.

Classic design - it's a beauty for sure!
I think Radar used one of those in MASH 😅
Great model
I have one similar... somewhat newer... has round nixie tubes frequency display

I turn into a drooling idiot at the sight of anything GenRad. Future videos are going to be a treat. Thank you.
