Buying several of these is a good idea.

The only problem with converting this unit over to BNC from Banana Plugs and what not is that this unit was specially shielded and grounded from the factory for optimal precision and performance (aka no drifting or signal bleeding or what not), and if I disturb the shielding and grounding of the connections and what not then it may affect the performance and the precision of the signal generator (which the precision of this signal generator is ±2% with the ability to go up to less than 1% precision.)

So I would need to figure out what kind of affect changing out the plugs could have on the precision of the unit first before I go switching out plugs which is why I want to try and utilize the plugs that are already there so I don't risk screwing up the performance and precision of this signal generator, which unlike the Heathkit unit, is actually a highly precise instrument.


There is actually cheaper versions of the cable I showed you, that are just a red and black wire that are wired to a set of red and black banana plugs respectively on one end and on the other end they are wired to a female BNC jack which I could just connect a shielded Male BNC to Male BNC cable to.
