Thanks, Pete. I'll take a look for those caps. I know that the 103F supply
is different from the 103D because of a previous problem, but the caps could
be there. I've got the major problem fixed. There was a fuse hidden inside
the RF output connector and it was open. My 103D manual shows a fuse as an
option, but I assumed it would be somewhere in sight if it was installed.

One thing I want to mention about that generator............there are 10uF
caps in parallel with the large filter caps on the power supply board.
When
these caps dry out, the -5.2V regulator for the ECL circuitry oscillates.
This will cause numerous sidebands to appear on the RF output, along with
a
dancing display that never seems to indicate a locked frequency.

Hi Floyd,
Exactly what do you need from the manual? I have a
manual
for the 103D, which is the 125kHz to 174MHz model. It is a couple
hundred
pages, with fold-out schematics, so it would be quite expensive and time
consuming to copy. If you just need a couple of pages, I can help you.
As an alternative, you can contact Boonton. This is their URL:

I've searched everywhere on the web with no success. I need a manual
for
a
Boonton 103F signal generator. If you have one or know of a likely
source,
please contact me. Thanks.
