    I was interested in electronics and did it as a hobby and also worked as a tv repairman though tv's have changed a lot since then they had massive and heavy colour tricolor shadow mask CRT's which needed 25,000 volts to operate them and yes you could get a nasty shock off them if you didn't discharge them.
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    That does sound like its fun to get into. But nowadays its almost always cheaper to throw things out then repair them. A shame if you ask me. I like the days where you could do repairs yourself way beter.

    Right now the course I am doing is (no idea how this is all called in English haha) Switching electronicly. So I am learing how to start and look for faults in the electronic operating systems for engines and fuse boxes. Its just hard to focus for me right now. I do think that otherwise I would be able to do it.

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
