seeking construction help in DC

[medusa]

hey all> I am also a newbie to elctronics and would like to learn. I
have not been successful in finding simpler self help books that teach
you how to read a scheamatic.
I'm sure theere are probably various diagrams available for the same
thing but aside from learning the symbols for various components I
can't translate that to real life material. I will look at the two
sites mentioned in an earlier post, however I am in need of come help
for constructing an item. The first project is simple enough, I just
need to find some help relatively close to me....any good samaritans
have some time?? thanks you in advance.

 

Hi,

I live in Northern Virginia and work on pinball machines and video
games for a living (yea, i get paid to do it)

While I myself have never recieved any "formal" education in
electronics. I've gotten enough basics and i'm damn good at reading
schematics. I might be able to take a look at it and give you a hand.

Schematics are really easy to read once you learn the basics, except
the German ones...esically the mid 60's German schematics.

Email me at dewdude(at)gmail.com and we'll hammer out some details.
