That's very kind of you, thank you for the crash course - some great pointers!

np, good luck with it, if you try to pick it up.

Its a great skillset to have, even at a basic beginner level.. Once you get comfortable with a soldering iron, so many dead electronics suddenly can be repaired for cheap instead of replaced... You have no idea how many TVs I've saved just from the dump just with capacitor replacements alone.
