Given your ability to find a deal,

You could add an insulation tester (Megger) to your search list:

The hand-cranked ones are safer because they shut off if you get a zap
and stop cranking, plus you can check old motors on the shelf without
needing AC power.

If you find two real cheap, I could use one.
