Test equipment list for Newbies
#6

Until you are familiar with what tubes do what be careful with those case deals. The carry cases were used by the TV repair guys and most times are full of TV tubes that will do you no good for an old radio.
For test equipment it will depend on how deep your wallet is and how far you want to go with the hobby. A DMM for sure, an RF signal generator, one of those cheap digital scopes or a signal tracer of some kind. That will get you going and cover most cases.
