Simpson 430 color bar generator

[miniman82]

This was a steal at $99 BIN on Ebay, shipping free!





Note the nice copper chassis free of corrosion, and the more important fact that it provides 100% saturated bars along with I and Q color outputs. This should make set up of vintage color receivers a lot easier, as later bar gens provided 75% saturated bars in the wrong order. I've already tried it out on my Sony monitor and it does work, but something's amiss with the RF output. So I'll figure out what's wrong with the RF generator, then run through the alignment in the manual and post up a screen shot to see how it looks.
