Default Re: What test equipment do you own/use

I work mainly with AM stuff so don't need anything very sophisticated. The main thing I use is a cheap Chinese multimeter which includes capacitance, inductance and frequency ranges. If that's not enough, I have an ancient 20MHz scope. I also have a cheap Chinese signal generator which when calibrated using the multimeter is fine for alignment. Then there's a bird's nest of components which on a good day reforms electrolytics. Valve testers have become so expensive that it's easier just to buy another valve and if the original one was OK then I have a spare.
