You are bidding on a Panasonic FM multiplex (stereo) signal generator in working condition, model VP-7635A. Made by Matsushita in Japan, this is a very high performance piece of test gear that I sought out a few years ago as part of setting my bench up to handle higher end tuner and receiver tuner alignments. I wanted a stereo generator with exceptional S/N, distortion, and separation specs for that purpose, and the VP-7635A while an older model, meets those requirements. In fact, it's better in those areas than many newer FM generators: > 90dB S/N, distortion floor in the 0.01-0.05% range, and > 66dB separation. It also generates traffic information signals for car radios (US and EBU spec), but that feature isn't anything I would likely need. I have another similar generator that has about the same specs otherwise and an even lower distortion floor than this one. Because of that, I haven't been using this Panasonic very often and I needed to de-clutter my bench so am offering it for sale. I have not had the unit calibrated since I acquired it but it came out of a working environment and I can verify that it still powers up and outputs signals as it should. Uses standard IEC C13 power cord, not supplied. Like most test equipment, this supports multiple supply voltages via switch setting on the rear panel, so it can be used worldwide. If you are looking at this listing because you need test equipment for aligning FM tuners, be aware that you must use this type of signal generator as the external modulation source for an RF generator in order to supply the actual test signal to the receiver or tuner. It has other uses of course, but that's the typical one for us vintage audio techs. I used this one with a big Fluke 6070A 520 MHz RF generator which was an effective combination and allowed me to generate stereo signals where the Fluke internal modulator can only generate mono ones. I won't list all the features & specs here but I do have a scanned copy of the Panasonic data sheet on this unit which will be supplied with the unit. Ask if you have specific questions about features or specs, and I will post the answer to this listing. Listing includes: the VP-7635A as shown, and a pdf copy of the datasheet sent by email. Buyers, please note my shipping practices as follows: This auction is set up to reflect actual shipping costs, with no handling charges. I make every effort to find and use the lowest cost shipping method appropriate for your item, and refund surplus shipping paid whenever possible. Please remember that selecting the lowest cost shipping method also results in the slowest delivery - please do not leave low detailed seller ratings because of this fact! If you need the item faster, Priority Mail is a better choice. Please contact me if the shipping method you want is not offered in the listing. If that service is available for the particular item, I will revise & resend the invoice. I am not a full-time eBay merchant, but an experienced vintage audio enthusiast. I put many hours into supporting my customers and listings on eBay but am fitting all of that around a very heavy full-time work schedule. However, I always do my best to ship within the guidelines posted in my listings. In the case of larger items shipped overseas, USPS Priority is currently the lowest cost service available. DHL & UPS are much, much higher. I will use First Class Mail International where possible but it has a weight cut-off of 4 lbs. I use recycled packaging materials when I can, because I believe it is the environmentally sound thing to do. I also use new USPS Priority & other packaging materials to supplement the recycled materials where appropriate. I’m always very careful to make sure the item being shipped is properly protected regardless of the type of packing materials used. Please note that 4 star ratings while seemingly above average do not qualify me as an excellent seller by eBay's standards. If you feel that you can’t leave 5 star ratings in any of the four categories, please contact me to resolve whatever issue has caused you to feel that way. I am committed to meeting the highest customer service standards. Please keep the above in mind when you leave feedback. If you feel you cannot leave 5 star Detailed Seller Ratings, please contact me so I can resolve whatever issue you may have. Thank you for viewing my listing! © 2014, all rights reserved.

Condition	Used : An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.
Seller Notes	“Powers up, responds to front panel inputs, outputs test signals, meter works. There is an indelible marker scribble on the right hand end of the front panel, and the top cover has some foot marks on it from another piece of equipment. Otherwise good cosmetic condition with normal signs of use as you would expect given its age. Handle on the one side is fine, as are the feet & foldout stand.”
