FOR SALE: Heathkit IG-18 Sine-Squarewave Generators

Extra nice - both in cherry condition. One original Heathkit IG-18 manual is available also.

The Heathkit IG-18 Sign-Square Wave Audio Generator is designed for laboratory
as well as service and testing. Sine wave signals are available between 1 Hz and
100 kHz. The output is stepped from .003 volt to 10 volts. Square wave signals
are available from 5 Hz to 100 kHz. The output is available at .1 volt, 1 volt,
and 10 volts. The sine and square wave frequencies are identical and the level
of each is independently adjustable. Both signals may be used either independently
or simultaneously.
