Recommended equipment for aligning my HK deck is:
	two dual channel AC VTVM's
	frequency counter
	signal generator
	distortion analyzer
	spring tension gauge
	4 different test tapes
	blank tape in 4 different types

You probably don't really need more than one single-channel VTVM (or other
high-impedance AC voltmeter) if you're willing to spend some more time moving
the test lead around while making adjustments.  The rest are all necessary.
I don't have a distortion analyzer, so I don't set up my own deck - I have
the store where I bought it do the work.  If I were paying for it separately
(it was included in the price of the deck), it would cost about $30 (CDN).
I think this is worth it.
