You caught me Ramon. I actually have the following instruments:

And what you didn't see!

2. Bell-Howell Oscilloscope (Mfg. by Heath Corporation) Model 10D-203-31 Oscilloscope
3. BK Precision (Dynascan Corp.) Model 1653 AC Power Supply
4. BK Precision Model 1660 Triple Output DC Power Supply
5. Heathkit ID-5252 Audio Load
6. Heathkit IG-5218 Sine Square Audio Generator
7. Heathkit FM Stereo Generator
8. Conar Instruments Model 212 Multimeter/Ohm Meter
9. Senior VoltOhmyst Model VW-98C

One day I will have a "station" to work at. Right now I just use the floor in our attic .

I have a decorative travel trunk full of tools, manuals, strap making materials, and parts. You can't even tell. It's the bottom trunk:

I often use this ledge as a "parts holder" when I am tired of hunching over working on the floor :

Or if it is a real serious restoration or a lot of work to do, I take it out to the garage:

I have two places to work on radios...but do most of my work in the garage.

Here is my table top work space in my office / Boomroom

For the most part I do testing, evaluating BLASTING here...

As you can see, today is fix the lamp day!

The heavy work is done here. Full tear downs and rebuilds. There is a sink in the garage so I can wash parts. I have all sorts of tools, drill press, air compressor, all wrenches, screw drivers of every size, soldering station, dremel with hundreds of bits, pretty much everything you need to rebuild and in some cases, remake parts. It tends to kind of be a mess, but I always have 3-4 projects going ranging from car work to boomers to honey do's!

My work station is the kitchen counter, plenty of space, outlets and sink And at the breakfast table for sit down repairs

 

[BoomBoomBlaster]

A clear statement as to how crappy his collection is.

Seriously though, he just abuses Ramon and nags Norm into submission to keep his stuff running.
