For me, it's difficult because I've never had any formal electronics training whatsoever. Heck, I've never even had the benefit of someone in person walking me through a set step by step. It was just something that I wanted to do ever since I was a boy, so I pick it up as I go and have been doing that for the last decade or so.
I've restored close to 100 sets over the years, but every one of them was done by either recapping and getting lucky, or working through electronic principles and developing a rudimentary understanding of how things work along with problems associated with different circuits and how to resolve them.
I can recap a 630 chassis in 2-3 weeks, and my work is very precise. Hands, I've got. Diagnostic skills, not so much. Doesn't stop me from trying and learning though.
