I got the TS-830 up and running, I'm going to use it as my main rig for awhile. It needed some general cleanup and contact cleaner for the bandswitches and front panel pots.



I also resurrected some old test equipment I was given, hollow state signal generator and a very neat signal tracer. The green glow closes up at the bottom as the signal gets stronger. It has a very good speaker, too. Notice the modulation shown on the 'scope, from the old tube signal generator.



Tubes are fun! I might homebrew a transmitter to use with my R-390A.

Yeah, there's a tube inside the probe bottom left!
