To repair radios you do not really need a curve tracer. If you are into stereo amps, that might be justified; else a mutual conductance tester is all you need. And some would argue that even that is too much.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
