So I'm looking to upgrade my crappy 20 eur soldering station and am also in need of some other stuff. I’m mostly building synths (through hole compononents)

•   Soldering station, not looking to spend more then around 150 eur
-   Hakko FX88D
-   Aoyue 701A++ (this looks nice since it’s also fucntions as a desoldering station)
-   I-CON PICO

•   Desoldering station, I suck at desoldering and don’t want to further risk ruining another pcb or components, don’t really want to spend a fortune on this.

•   Osciloscope, I currently have a DIY kit;  Velleman EDO09, do I need something with more firepower? If so Batterfly.com seems to have a good deal on a RIGOL DS1054Z+a Hakko FX-88D for 415 eur

•   Transistor tester, there are a bunch cheap DIY kits on banggood that I guess will fulfil my requirement of simply getting HFE and idds readings and match transistors, which one should I chose or doesn’t it really matter?

•   PCB holder large enough to hold  up to 50cm pcb or any other recommendation so I not constantly have to flip over the pcb and try to balance it one something while risking damaging already soldered components, not more than 50 eur.
