For the test bench they one item I HAVE to have is a VTVM. There are certain things that a digital meter just won't do. When tuning a radio front end it's way easier to see a peak or dip on an analog meter that looking at flashing numbers. My meter of choice is the B&K 290.
As for the picture of your test bench, should I send you my contact information so you leave it all to me in your will. I have found the PERFECT test bench is the one that works for YOU and not your co-worker or friend.
I added some photos in the Photos section under 'Test Bench'. In the photo shop3.jpg you can see a mobile cart with his tools, I talked to him and he said he made the cart to work or larger & heavier pieces such as linear amps, he can roll it around and have his tools handy, and when not in use it fits nicely under the workbench.
