I don't know if a topic like this can make any traction here. Based on what I see on youtube, many of these posters are absolutely cluless what they're doing. The guys doing mods/upgrades and truck stop shops are excruciating to listen to. A glance around their benches often reveals a lot. Either they don't have necessary equipment to properly service or have equipment that's totally inappropriate and there more for eye candy to prospective clients who don't know any better.
I managed to do a very good business from around '72-'75 with a relatively small investment, but do the repairs right and unlike most cb shops of the time. I worked by day in land mobile as a tech around premium service and lab grade equipment. By night my bench wasn't lab grade, but by transfer calibration from our shops equipment to inexpensive kit and cb grade equipment,along with some home brew items, I could get precision results with them.
Time have changed and there's a lot of industrial and service surplus since the past 35 years. From ebay alone, one can assemble a pretty decent bench if you concentrate on perfromance rather then eye candy. This isn't about trying to impress anyone as above. Your work speaks volumes for itself. You don't need a fancy and overpriced DOSY lightshow when some separate, but excellent components are almost a few bucks plus shipping.
Could this be a conversation we can have here? Maybe take one piece of necessary equipment and discuss it at a time. What you need and what you think you might need are two different things. Also, some pieces of equipment are deceivingly good that go for little or nothing or have particular quirks that make them suitable or not suitable.
