Re: Test equipment for valve radio repair
You become an expert by using one. You can do many tests before you even power up a radio, like checking the resistors, continuity of transformer and coil windings, continuity of valve heaters, continuity of inductors, continuity of loudspeakers. continuity of mains leads and switches etc. etc.
Once the equipment is powered up you can check voltages against those given in the service sheet. Significantly high or low readings indicate a fault. Experience will teach you the likely cause.
