I started off schooling waaaay back when as an E.E. but ultimately left. It wasn’t the difficulty, I wasn’t cut out for that world. After leaving, I worked for a 6 generation old antique restoration company, where I was able to apply my meticulous nature to the work I was doing. I learned a helluva lot too, especially the idea that everything made is a puzzle, large or small. In sections or the whole shebang. In all of this, maintained was my love of stereo gear, I learned by practice and reading. I don’t have a bench and I also lack the full set of diagnostic tools. But I’m able to work on quite a few items, like this Levinson. I’m particularly good at physically and cosmetically damaged stuff, I.e. doing the faceplate saved hours of billable labor.
I also have connections to a really valuable tech who can perform the major electrical repairs for very fair prices (because I use him for everything, it’s becom more of a relationship.)
