I have one too.  Works just fine for home use.  I also have a 1965 or so
Tek 422... I use the Goldstar to fix this one... making the Tek run
is a hobby in itself ;)

I think the $500 Goldstar has a full function signal generator built in.
They _all_ have the calibrate signal.  You are better off with a separate
signal generator in my opinion - if you need one.

I must have had mine 4 or 5.
