Applications
Signal generators of this type were used in shipboard radio systems for maintenance, testing, and carrier wave measurement. This unit was part of the LP-5 radio equipment system installed on US Navy vessels during the mid-20th century. It provided standard reference signals for aligning and verifying performance of shipboard communications and detection equipment.
This Federal Manufacturing & Engineering CDF-60006-A LP-5 RF Standard Signal Oscillator is being sold as-is due to its vintage age and unknown operational status. It has not been tested at our facility and no functionality is guaranteed. The unit appears physically complete with its outer case, internal chassis, and front panel controls all present. The front panel shows age-appropriate patina and general surface wear consistent with decades of storage; knobs and dial rings are intact. The rear panel carries two vacuum tube-style output connectors. The internal chassis shows typical vintage construction with original wiring and components visible. This is a rare piece of US Navy surplus history — sold strictly as-is for collectors, restoration projects, or display. Please view our full photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
