6/11/26 Pasco Scientific 9301 + Heathkit ID-4101 + Rucci 16-step CV seq + Yamaha EM-100
video upload by Cfpp0
"6/11/26 Pasco Scientific 9301 dual function generator + Heathkit ID-4101 switch + Rucci 16-step CV sequencer + Yamaha EM-100
One Heathkit ID-4101 switch and two Pasco Scientific 9301 dual function generators are being used as oscillators, modulated by the pulse output and CV output on the Rucci 16-step CV sequencer. The banana-jack audio outputs are converted to TS 1/4” by the Low-gain Electronics format jumbler, then mixed on the Yamaha EM-100, with its internal spring reverb."

Heathkit Sine-Square Audio Generator IG-5218
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
" Vintage Heathkit Analog Sine-Square Audio Function Generator.
Dual banana jacks provide separate outputs for each waveform.
Works great, but I have not checked the accuracy of the tuning - It sounds pretty good to my ear.... perfect for for "droning oscillator" stuff, but if you want to use this as an actual piece of test equipment, it may need a recalibration. The PDF manual is available online.
Salvaged from a university clearout. Cosmetically, very clean, but has the schools name hand engraved in the top right of the front panel, and an ID # in the bottom right corner.
120v"

Published on Oct 1, 2019 Synth Diy Guy
"Dusting off the old Heathkit to play around with some oscillators based on the CD 40106 Hex Inverter IC. Take an inverter, add a resistor and a capacitor and you have an oscillator :)"

Precise Model 635 Vintage Pulse Generator & Heathkit Model SG-8 vintage Signal Generator
via this auction and this auction
On the Precise Model 635:
"A.F. Sine, Square, and Pulse. SN# 2656. Vintage unit powers up but is otherwise untested; sold as-is but everything appears functional and this unit has been thoroughly cleaned."
Not synthss, but rather a cool piece of test equipment. You can see the seller's other items for more. Would make for interesting DIY cases. Thomas Dolby has been known to use similar devices [see this post].
