Greetings I am a new member. I am very interested in repairing electronics. I’ve done a lot of it by myself already. I am 59 years old, and I have enjoyed taking things apart and trying to fix them pretty much my whole life, often using using online schematics and service manuals. It’s very gratifying. I am also a musician currently experimenting with electronic banjo. I chose a name for my last musical project, Shad Dart, because it is a fishing lure for catching shad. Where I live by the Delaware River, they swim up river to spawn . The interesting thing is when they’re coming up river they are not eating anything, but for some reason they can’t resist biting on the shad dart. The predominant theory is that the little prickly tail of the lure tickles their nose as they are swimming upstream, and it annoys them or maybe they bite it out of curiosity. Anyway, I feel like it describes my interest in music and electronics and repairing things, something just gets in my face, and I can’t help myself I have to bite on it

Welcome to DIYaudio. You're not alone. I've been baited into multiple hobbies over the last 20 years. A simple, cheap headphone amp in an altoids tin... hooked. A simple, cheap coffee can forge... hooked.
I can only ask that you not cast a shad dart in front of me.
Cheers,
