HI Myles. I'm a used to be EE who moved to digital and then systems due to market changes. Every so often I get the itch to get back into the electronics end. Probably a lot of company here. Anyway, I trained from the Navy manuals in analog and the core was tube theory through digital which at that time was very low density discreet circuits. Just the other day someone asked if I could repair amps. So it begins. What I'm wondering about is not exactly what you usually get asked. I'm more interested in what it would take to begin an outfit to do repairs and build circuits as you discuss here. Specifically, what kind of scope, specialized testing equipment would get me going. I remember Hitachi had a nice instrument years ago, Teks are always good, but I'm on a limited budget and have to try and keep it reasonable. I'm sadly poor on equipment other than a nice fluke digital mm and a couple of odds and ends like a frequency generator. I do miss this stuff and would love to get back into it.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks
martin
