Default Re: Test equipment for valve radio repair

You've probably got enough there to make a start. Resistors and coils can normally be checked with a simple meter, capacitors are best checked by replacement, valves can be evaluated by measuring the voltages around them or by substitution.

A decent RF/IF signal generator would be the next thing to consider, then you can start with alignment (though this is not always necessary if the sets have not been "got at"). A mains isolation transformer would be advisable to go with this.

A 'scope or a valve tester are a luxuries for domestic radio repair and you don't really need them to begin with.
