TV Test/alignment gear on the cheap (and small)

Since I'm getting ready to start on a TV project I figured I'd ask here... what are my options for cheap and comprehensive gear needed to align sets? I'm already in possession of an oscilloscope, DMM, and analog meter, but I'm referring to the more specialty alignment stuff like sweep generators etc.

I'd like to keep it low priced and not take up a lot of space, as I don't have much room or budget, nor do I envision getting/working on lots of TVs in the near future. Maybe someday, but not now.

I see much about the Sencore VA62(A) which can be had for fairly cheap, but it's not clear to me if it's an all-in-one unit that can be used to also align a set (with 21Mhz IF mod). If so... spiffy. If not... What are my options without breaking the bank or having to get a bunch of separate boxes? Are there good cheap digital sweep/marker generators (or even a DIY kit) out there?

... Under $100?
... Under $50?
