All -

Hope this is not too far off-topic.

I working on my K2 so much, I think I want to get 
into repairing and restoring (probably older, 
mostly tube type) radio gear (mostly receivers, 
but transmitters too), and maybe building 
projects out of the ARRL manual.

What types and brands of repair and test equipment 
do you all recommend for a modest to medium (not 
extravagently) equipped ham shack?

"Standard" equipment in the old days when I was 
last very active (lates 60s early 70s) was a 
multimeter or DVM, RF and AF frequency 
generators, dip meter, signal tracers/probes, and 
(if you had the bucks and room) an oscilloscope.
What's recommended today?
