TRIPLET MODEL 1632 |
|
NOTES |
A signal generator by a company I've not heard of before, with a serial
number that probably suggests there were not many made. Being American I
expected to find more valves than the typical British counterpart and was
not dissapointed ! One very unusual feature is that the entire chassis is made out of copper, presumably used with the idea that it would have superior performance at high frequencies, though in reality I doubt that it really is. |

SERVICE DATA | Yep, thanks ! You can download it from the service data section. |
CURRENT STATE | The case has a few scratches and the panel meter certainly isn't the original
although it doesn't look too out of place. There are also signs of work
inside, mainly in the form of replaced wiring and 1956-vintage main smoothing
cap. There is also a socket for a crystal, which is missing. |
WHERE FOUND | Liberated from the June 2003 Harpendon BVWS auction for £4. |
Chassis entirely built of copper. |
Wonder if American wax caps are as bad as the British ones ..... |
