Hands on Basic Electronics Course

[2ndTimer]

I am looking for one because I am getting very into old stereo equipment but coming up against the fact that the last time I saw a circuit was in Freshman Physics.  I am really looking for some sort of kit/book combination so I can teach myself enough to test and replace capacitors, etc.  Something geared toward music would be ideal.  I have no idea if that exists.

I wish I could send you to my freshman year EE course--over the course of the semester, we built an amplifier with balance and tone control, while learning all the basics about it.

I would suggest one of those "gazillion in 1 electronics project kits", like this one:

Yes! I actually looked around at the local Votech to see if anybody had a basic course I could take.  No luck.  I guess that was last year's fad.

Did you check YouTube?

I finally just got rid of all of my books and electronics kits etc about 2 years ago. Sorry, I would have totally given them to you. One of my projects was to build a radio too. Probably had some good relevant stuff for you. :(
