Lab at Home
I assembled the Lab at home for more robust and professional electronics and electrical engineering. It doesn't take much space, but quite effective as possible in a small appartment of big city.
I use old professional Soviet equipment such as sine wave generators, high precision frequency counter, and also modern digital oscilloscope and frequency counter, lab power supplies, etc. For soldering I use state-of-the-art inexpensive induction soldering station for now. Plan to buy a station with thermo fan to quickly solder/desolder complex IC packages such as BGAs, etc.

The main Lab work place.
A part of the Lab at the balcony. There are a drilling machine, a grinding machine, workbench and bench screw.
This device is galvanic isolation for the oscilloscope - since its GND probe terminal is connected to the mains ground and without this device it's impossible to measure, say, computer power supply HV circuitry characteristics. So there is a need in galvanic isolation. It is implemented straight-forward using two powerful 220->12V transformers connected back to back.
A device for home PCB manufacturing. It is used to disperse a thin layer of liquid photoresist onto the PCB surface. Just an AC motor (speed-controlled with a ballast such as a lighting bulb). The idea behind is to use centrifugal force to equally distribute the photoresist across the surface of PCB.
