What is it ? Why is it cool ? Why is it trash ?

Like it says on the tin it's a Sweep Generator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_generator

It generates a radio frequency signal which is swept, ie continuously varied, over a range from say 1 to 2 MHz. It's used to align the intermediate frequency stages of radios.

Whether it's cool or trash I have no idea.

Are those remarks your opinions; those of someone else; something you've read in a piece of authoritative literature . . or . . . ?

It's very rare for us, here, to read such remarks about a piece of electronic equipment.

I don't need to know; I'm just intrigued.
