Tools and test equipment

This section deals with the tools and test equipment necessary for the

successful design, manufacture, and construction of electronic circuits.

Simple circuits, such as audio frequency amplifiers and power supplies,

can be constructed using nothing more than a few basic tools and some

requires the services of more complex production equipment as well as a

range of more sophisticated test equipment. This fact, however, should

not serve to daunt the newcomer; the acquisition of the 'right tools and

test equipment for the job
