I got to thinking about this one. First, I wondered where a post went where I suggested centering on the vertical output/oscillator sections. Then I re-read the original and realized that the three choices pretty much cover everything about most electronics as there's not a lot left. Its really amazing just what can be accomplished with the tube, capacitor and resistor! And I don't blame anyone for coming here for a good lead in the right direction. We are lucky to have such a plethora of knowledge.
I also was thinking how odd it must seem to some how people like many of us can be so interested in what by today's standards is evidently irrelevant. It is mind boggling to think that they can put 500, or 5000 of my 46 Fada in some silicon microchip. That is amazing, but I find modern technology completely boring compared to what we enjoy. You will never find me lovingly cleaning some 'board' out of some modern device! Guess I'm not heading toward making a lot of money in electronics right! I am a tech now in industry and the guys leaning more toward the software/P.L.C. realm as a personal interest are the guys who will move onward and upward. Sorry, I can make a separate thread on the importance of mastering Siemens controls technology.
