The minimum that an end-user who is interested in
maintaining his Toaster will need is the following:
- Small flathead screwdriver for Toaster assembly
screws.
- Small and medium phillips head screwdrivers -
for computer assembly screws.
- TV Tuner tool or very small, thin-edge flathead
screwdriver for capacitor adjustment.
- Multimeter which measures AC and DC voltage levels,
and can test amperage and continuity. (Radio Shack
carries several inexpensive, easy-to-read digital
models.)
- A directly generated video source, such as a camera,
an NTSC signal generator such as (shameless plug!)
NewTek's Calibar, a laserdisc player, or a television
tuner providing a broadcast (not cablecast) television
signal.
Dealerships and professional users should also have
a waveform monitor and a vectorscope, to properly analyze
both input signals and Toaster output.
