Hello Guys, tomorrow I have an opportunity to pick up some test equipment from the estate of a deceased radio repairman and collector. Being that I am new to the hobby, I just wanted some input from the experts. I want to be able to do alignments and circuit testing so from what I have gathered through reading I will need a signal generator, signal tracer, variable power supply for the basics. There is an O scope available also. I already have a Hickock TV-7-B/U tube tester and a volt/ohm meter. So what else? I will mainly be restoring 30s thru 50s radios. Thanks for any ideas you can give. Bob
