Two additions:
VTVM - Only one way to go, the RCA/Viz Senior or Master VoltOhmist.
We also had a nice Zenith Ultrasonic and IR remote tester. It had added features for measuring drive on the System 3 sets, but 90% used for IR remote control testing. I know of only one other way to test ultrasonic remotes sans the TV...the Zenith tester paid for itself over and over. Hard to find, I still have ours. It just uses an ultrasonic mic, and overdrives an op amp to square up things before sending it to both an LED and a scope jack. The iR side sends the IR diode/receiver output along a similar path.
Overkill for a newbie, but it completes my lineup
