I would say the 'must-haves' for Radio (Electrical) restoration's are a High resistance multimeter, RF sig. gen. (optional), and a selection of tools e.g. Pliers, Cutters, Screwdrivers, trimmer tools as well as Soldering Iron & Solder).

On my work bench I have numerous bits of test equipment which spends most of its life just 'dust gathering'. Though it does look 'the business' I suppose !!!!

As mentioned by other restorers.... Basic tools and a multimeter is usually all that is needed.
