Wavetek 130 Analog Function Generator 0.2 Hz to 2 MHz Sine Square Triangle Bench

Wavetek 130 Analog Function Generator 0.2 Hz to 2 MHz Sine Square Triangle Bench

The Wavetek 130 is a vintage analog function generator covering a frequency range of 0.2 Hz to 2 MHz. It produces three standard waveform types — sine, square, and triangle — making it a single-channel signal source for bench testing, circuit development, and electronics education. This unit came out of a training school environment and has been tested to produce output.

Applications

Function generators of the Wavetek 130's type are used to inject known waveforms into circuits for troubleshooting, component testing, frequency response analysis, and calibration work. The 0.2 Hz to 2 MHz range covers the full audio spectrum and extends into the lower RF range, making it useful for a broad range of analog electronics work. Wavetek produced this class of instruments through the 1970s and 1980s for electronics laboratories, technical training programs, and general bench use. Vintage Wavetek instruments like the 130 are still sought after for use in training labs, hobbyist benches, and legacy electronics repair work where a straightforward analog signal source is preferred over modern digital alternatives.
