TLDR ; ) at bottom.
I've been looking at used equipment on CL and could use a little advice on what the other members feel is an adequate tool set.
Of course I'd like something ideal like a Tek 465B but there aren't any up right now. (generally speaking and I know that isn't a PS)
So far I've only had batteries, transformers and rheostats or resistors as DC power supplies.
What voltage range would you want?
Current?
Would you be willing to commit bench space to a large older model or get something small and modern?
Then again basically the same questions on AC or variacs.
TLDR; )
I currently only have a DMM and some assorted low quality kit and might buy this.

The power supply looks borderline useless to me due to the low current. Do you feel otherwise?
Here is a google result with model # https://www.google.com/search?q=twi...EwiT16_KjdHMAhXMpR4KHarXAT8Q_AUIBigA&dpr=1.71
Function generator is Elenco GFG-8016G
Worth buying? Good deal? Pass?
I need better tools!
