Chris:
I understand your problem with getting some kind of generator that will 
give you something to test with.  You might be interested in the 
General Radio Co.  "Bridge Oscillator" or their "Standard Signal 
Generator".  These show up on ebay from time to time and cover from 9.5 
kHz to 50 mHz.  They have a low voltage, low impedance output.  Contact 
me off list if you want information on them.  I don't have them for 
sale and General Radio is long out of business.
