Product: Video Toaster

The minimum that an end-user who is interested in maintaining his Toaster will need is the following:

1) Small flathead screwdriver for Toaster assembly screws.

2) Small and medium phillips head screwdrivers - for computer assembly screws.

3) TV Tuner tool or very small, thin-edge flathead screwdriver for capacitor adjustment

4) Multimeter which measures AC and DC voltage levels, and can test amperage and continuity. (Radio Shack carries several inexpensive, easy-to-read digital models.)

5) A directly generated video source, such as a camera, an NTSC signal generator, 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.
