One of Hickok's finest RF signal generators. The 288AX features variable sweep and variable audio frequencies. In near mint condition (and I rarely use this often mis-used term). It appears to have  not seen much use. According to the former owner, it was purchased from the Tektronix lab in Beaverton, OR  in the 1960's at an obsolete equipment sale. It has been kept in a clean favorable environment ever since. It's as clean as the day it was made inside and out and still has all it's original tubes with the Hickok logo. The only things not original are the capacitors.

I have replaced all the paper and electrolytic capacitors with modern ones, and performed a complete alignment.

Includes the RF output cable and my high quality re-print instruction manual.

Here's a brief list of the features and specs:

  • Frequency coverage: 125 - Kc - 170 Mc in 8 bands (the 2 highest bands relies on harmonics)
  • Crystal controlled frequencies: 100 & 1000 Kc
  • Variable modulation up to 50% with external
    input
  • Buily-in meter that can be used as a VTVM,
    % Modualtion or DB meter.
