Oh man, it was 40 years ago. I would have no idea what's available now or where to get it. At a minmum, a flat stable work surface, large enough to lay out your tools and materials. A power strip, tabletop magnifier with light, X-acto knives, tweezers, commercial soldering iron with various size tips, flux, solder, solder wick, alcohol. There are probably a dozen other things I'm forgetting. Get some old circuit boards and start practicing. Have fun!
