Re: EH random tone generator?

That's true, Javier, there's nothing *random* about that device.  I was
intrigued by the idea back in 1979 or '80 when I first heard about it so I
ordered one by mail.  When it came I was very disappointed since as you 
say,
it was just a long repeated string of tones.  Through some sort of error a
second RTG arrived in the mail about two weeks later.  Using the two
together, starting at different points, was definitely more interesting 
than
listening to the single unit.  Running them through other devices also
helped vary things, but in general it got tired really quickly, whereas a
truly "random" device would probably sustain one's interest for a longer
time.
