This module type was standard in analog electronics testing, circuit characterization, and signal analysis work through the 1980s and beyond.
Condition: Used
This Tektronix FG 501A 2MHz Function Generator plug-in module has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The front panel shows normal light wear consistent with lab use — the controls, dial, and push-button selectors are all present and intact. The chassis and perforated side panels are in good shape with no significant damage visible. The TM500 card-edge connector on the rear is intact. This is the plug-in module only; a compatible TM500 series mainframe is required for operation and is not included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
