Default Re: Test equipment for valve radio repair

It depends whether you want to just repair radio,or restore the set.
For basic repair, soldering iron and testmeter, analogue of course.
Next some sort of signal generator.
To restore a set you need a good signal generator properly calibrated with uv output, an output power meter.
Additional equipment,sweep generator scope and valve tester.
The valve tester is one of the more usefull bits of test equipment, it can save a lot of time and exspense.

Forgot to mention,an LCR meter is very usefull for checking capacitors especially, I would rate this essential even for basic repair.
