Of everyone who was fascinated by the release of HP’s products, there was one engineer who bought eight Model 200B oscillators for his upcoming film. The Model 200B was the second line of the oscillator that allowed sound engineers the ability to test audio frequencies with slight modifications from the original 200A design. The machine retailed at $55 per unit and caught the attention of sound engineers nationwide, as most audio oscillators cost roughly $500 at the time. In 1938, Bill and Dave produced the Model 200A audio oscillator - the first practical and affordable machine capable of generating high frequencies. The two Stanford engineering students followed the advice of their professor to start their own electronics company, rather than joining a firm.
