Great, thanks. I know some about electronics and can solder fairly well (I even own a couple of o-scopes). I really want to learn how to repair myself for the knowledge and adventure! That sounds like one of the more fun parts of the job.
I've learned quit a bit in the past 24 hours. I'm on page 16 of that big thread of yours at JS2. Wow, it's very inspiring and helpful. I hope that part of the forum is backed up!
FYI, none of the pictures (floorplans, etc...) work for me in that thread. Maybe because I'm too new. It says I don't have access so I'm not sure if the pics are even still there or not.
