Condition: Used
This Optimum Electronics PG404 Pattern Generator has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The front panel controls — including the rate selector (150, 300, 600, 1200 baud), data type buttons, pattern buttons, and percent distortion keys — are all present and intact. The housing shows light surface wear consistent with normal bench use; no cracks or major damage are visible. The bottom connector panel with SIG, GND, Low Level, Neutral, and Loop jacks is present and appears undamaged. Note that this unit carries a special calibration covering Baud Rate and Distortion only, last performed on 07-17-2003. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
