Chuck, at the minimum you will need a soldering iron (40 watt pencil) and a volt and ohm meter. Harbor Freight has one for about $6. Will work and when you hook things up wrong (ie set in ohms and measuring voltages) it will probably die. Not much invested. It will do the job.
If you can, post the schematic or a link to it so we can follow the journey.
Best, Jerry
