Hello everyone.
.
I have a large Astor Sweep Generator that would like to get up and running.
It appears to have been built prior to 1968, as it's internal tuner is an older model than used in the Astor series 8 TV Chassis.

A service manual is what I am after as would have instructions for use.
This generator is huge when compared to my Heathkit sweep/marker generator. Far heavier too. Thirteen valves.

The pipe dream is to connect it to my SJ Astor television before TV's adoptive parents come collect it.

I don't like my chances of a service manual, (copy or otherwise) coming my way, but it is surprising what we have collected over the years.

Thanks.

Wayne.
