It ain't that hard to learn. Just treat it as a game and start on simple radios that you won't cry over if you mess up, and ask questions when stuck/confused.
I gotta agree that sets with rubber wiring are hell...Especially high tube count table stes with shallow chassis (when they pack them full of wires and caps you can't recap them without ruining the wiring)...
As a rule, I never take on rubber wire radio/TV restos for anyone else. I worry it'll catch fire and I'll get sued if I don't change it and I HATE CHANGING RUBBER WIRING...I even try NOT to buy sets with rubber wire for my collection. The time investment to change it is virtually never worth it. Once in a while, I'll buy and recap such a set for my self...If the rubber hasn't cracked or come off I'll do my best to NOT disturb it during a recap so I can leave it and hope it holds together...
All rubber wiring degrades, it is why maker switched to plastic wiring as fast as they could.
