I was curious if anyone has any plans on building this project to assist with coupling and alignment of vintage radios. It just popped out to me that this is a must have for the bench if you work on vintage radios. I looked under shared projects but nobody has started or shared anything.

I guess I can’t speak for others but I plan on building it for that purpose. Being it also amplifies the signal also helps as my signal generator that I have outputs what seems to be 50 mv which may be normal for a signal generator from that era. It is a Heathkit ig-102s for reference. I’m still waiting for parts for mine as I just put in the order yesterday. Will have to include it here when I get it done and start using it.
