Re: The Best GDO Ever Made?
Measurements was bought by McGraw Edison and seems to have disappeared since, probably by the 1970's. I have a vision of employees moving around between the assorted test equipment firms in Boonton, New Jersey at the time. Measurements made the superb Model 80 signal generator, which many of us in the states used as our main bench generator on HF and VHF communications equipment, and later the 560-FM and the Motorola branded equivalents.
Boonton remains in operation.
While the Mesaurements GDO is usually considered the best, I also have the Millen version which I like, except that having the remote head on the Measurements is quite handy.
One version of the Measurements instrument came in a handsome purple velvet lined carrying case with all possible measurement heads and coil sets. I was never lucky enough to find one.
The contract for the PRM-10 military GDO was not that large and thus they are not all that easy to find today, although they are a nice instrument as well.
