I should still have docs for the sinad meter and tone generator in my files that I'm going to scan and upload when I get the chance. From what I remember, the meters were a royal PITA where the pots would develop bald spots from the constant level setting and re-nulling.
The two tone generators were a pretty stable product. The Motorola labeled version IIRC had an extra rotary switch that I think was pre-programmable for custom, pre-set durations and delays instead of using the front panel controls. IIRC, they were also designed to be chained together to produce multiple tone sequences. Much better unit then the AIE or Cushman's external tone box. Very popular unit until the Cromco boxes came out that did nearly everything. Moto had a dispute with them over the paging formats. I was wondering what else GAW made.
