Lee,

My opinion:
Many fine radios have been fixed up just FINE without the convenience of 
the test cables. They help if there are some odd problems, such as 
intermittent shorts or the like. But with a sharp eye to the voltage and 
resistance tables, and careful thinking about the test points, and possibly 
the use of a couple of socket extenders, you can solve most any problem.

Now if it is your job to work on them all day long, as folks did in the 
service, then test cables save a lot of time.
