My apologies - the instruction manual does indeed mention Frequentie-ijking by means of the electronenstraal-indicator. However, this does not make the instrument a Schwebungssummer

What is a Schwebungssummer? I presume this is a German word but dict.tu-chemnitz.de can only tell me that Schwebung is a frequency-beat.

The GM2308 should be called a Toongenerator or Signal Generator, not Schwebungssummer. A signal generator does not itself generate 'tone beats' it provides one of the tones from which another equipment can generate beat-notes.

I see from the onderwijs manual posted here that the manufacturer calls it simply Philips Toongenerator GM2308 and nowhere mentions Schwebungs

Thanks for giving all the information and images of this model - Julian
