Dave, don't let anyone scare you away. If you can solder, follow instructions and are willing to learn, you can do this. There are plenty of Phorum members that would be quite happy to help you. Just remember, everyone here started out with no knowledge of electronics or radios. There are some high voltages, just use some common sense, UNPLUG THE RADIO when you are working on it. When it you have to take voltage readings, it can be done safely, volt meters have long insulated probes so you don't even have to get your fingers close. So, if you ready for a little challenge, let's give it a go!
