I have seen a lot of people new to antique radio repair, and some to antique electronics in general. I found this link to a posting on Nostalgia Air of the old N.R.I. certification course. I've looked at it, and it reminds me a lot of the curriculum at electronics "A" school in the Navy. I think it may be of great help to you. I know I am going to run through it as a review of things I have grown fuzzy on over the years through lack of use.
