   Hi all,   
      
   I'm starting to get a bit fed up with having my test equipment blow up   
   just when it's needed. This is the drawback with vintage gear; if it's   
   not used frequently then it can go *bang* the next time you switch it   
   on. It makes for good practice in repairing stuff, but wastes a lot of   
   time which could be better spent doing other things.   
   I think it's time I modernised my test gear. I was just wondering if   
   anyone has any recommendations they can share. Is there a particular   
   piece of test equipment you couldn't live without? Something you're   
   particularly impressed with? I'd be interested to know so I can   
   perhaps acquire said item and thereby reduce the number of explosions   
   I experience.   
      
   Thanks,   
      
   CD.
