The General Radio 1001-A is a standard signal generator introduced in 1951 Catalog M and remained available through Catalog73. The 1001-A is a lab grade signal generator covering a frequency range 0f 5 kHz to 50 MHz. It has a calibrated attenuator with output 0.1 μV to 200 Mv also 2 V direct output. The internal RF oscillator and turret band switch are removable for servicing. Inside the cabinet is an alignment tool (hex) for adjusting the oscillator turret coils.
