volume Philco 38-116

If you are patient you can get yourself a sig gen for wll under a 100 bucks on e-bay. And a counter.

If I had to spend a day driving back and forth to your place to align a radio, drag all the stuff inside and back, $300 would not be unreasonable at all, if that's how I made my living. Shipping the set back and forth would cost that much and probably end badly. Of course if you lived down the block, I'd do it for free.

So buy and restore an old signal generator, cheap digital frequency meter, and a good old fashioned VTVM and align the D**n thing yourself. You can do all this for less than $200.00 and you will have more toys!
