BTW, I've just posted you the photo of the Sig gen. Took a bit longer
than I meant to as I've been faffing about with photo software trying
to enhance the image. Taking flash photos of shiny, black objects is
pretty tricky, I've discovered...

Hello Paul,
I received the picture, thanks.
Those connectors are still easy to come by.
Here is a picture of a different sig gen but with a similar
style connector to yours.

That connector is a Pye connector.

Certainly looks like the one shown, I must say. I'd always thought Pye
connectors, though, had three pins, like the one in the photo I sent
you in the top LH corner. Or maybe that's a Bulgin connector. Blimey.

Your connector is very similar but just slightly different.
When you contact AVO at Dover, ask them the name
of the RF connector that was used. Telling them it is
similar to a Pye should jog their memories.

Okay, John, just out of curiosity I will. I expect them to tell me to
get f*cked, like HP or Tek would, but we'll see what their "extended
aftersales care" is like. "What do you mean I ought to be a new model?
This one's only 50 years old!" :-)

I'll post the results later today, along with answering your other
queries.
