    Physical Condition
    :
    Case and front panel are in good condition - see photos
    Missing HP original feet
    S/N:
    0989A06033
    Option:
    Battery (Batteries would not hold a charge, are unavailable and were removed).
    Electrical Condition:
    Working with leveled output across all ranges (1 Hz to 1 MHz)
    Frequency set on low ranges by mechanically setting the dial
    Frequency set at 1 MHz by a trimmer capacitor
    Appears to work correctly as shown in photos -
    sold as is - no returns only due
    to age of the oscillator
    Notes
    : 1) Many of the HP 204C oscillators had the battery option.  This consisted
    of four (4) - 6 Vdc rechargeable batteries in series which created +/- 12 Vdc with a
    ground connection between batteries 2 & 3.
    The batteries have been replaced with two 12 V zener diodes and filter
    capacitors.   This produces the +/-  12 Vdc with < 10 mv ac ripple.  With bad or no
    batteries the oscillator
    will not
    operate.  See 7th photo of rebuilt power supply
    2)
    The
    dc power supply is on anytime the oscillator is plugged in!
    Range switch switches
    dc into the oscillator electronics
    .
    3)  For proper leveling of the output and full range of attenuation, the output
    must be terminated in 600 ohms.
    4)  Distortion accuracy (0.1%) was not verified due to limited testing.
