Setting up a bench - what should I buy?

[AlanInSitges]

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I would really like an analyst, either the B&K or one of the Sencore ones, but they are all enormous and I'm already going to be fully loaded on the way back so I think it will have to wait till next trip.

Meanwhile I picked up a NOS Sencore CR161, a B&K 607, a B&K HV probe, and took your advice and got a B-T agile modulator. Should make for a fun summer.

One of those Chinese L-C-R testers is worth while. That, you can order from home. Generally free shipping.

No problem.

Another thing that can be useful is an old eye type capacitor tester that can check leakage at full rated voltage such as a Heathkit C3 or solar CB-60.
