With all caps now replaced on my 46-1209 virgin project, the day of reckoning is within sight.  You know, that part where you turn the thing on and hope for the best.

My "shop" consists of a $10 multimeter, a $14 soldering iron kit, and ... that's it.  What indispensable item do you recommend I add next?

- variac
- signal generator
- better soldering iron
- tube tester
- lots and lots of pepperoni
- other: _____________

I appreciate the guidance!
