I am in the procurement process for a generator etc. Looking at the HP 8656B or similar. I had also wondered/searched for PC driven tools, at present I am using my PC with SweepGen for a signal generator. It has served me well for simple testing of amp outputs or x-overs.
Was hoping the team here could tell me what other tools I would want to add to have a full Alignment tuning suite. (Getting good at it is another story) I have several older Tube RCA consoles and 3 Sansui receivers that all need AM/FM work. And I plan to keep it up as a hobby. Not a shop or reseller. I just really enjoy bringing back vintage gear and surprising friends and todays youth with what the "good stuff" sounded like.
Tools I have thus far
