What should I buy next?
#2

Variac, generator and tube tester.
Soldering iron is optional, if yours work.
$10 DMM or analog meter is OK as long as it works.
The rest....if the hobby sticks, you will figure what you need to buy next.

Don't skimp on the tube tester. Buy the one that tests the whole tube, not just an emission one.
I went with Hickok 600A, but there are other Hickoks that are good or better. There are some other decent brands.
Remember, buy quality - cry once.

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.
