I never tried to repair existing gear myself.  Although in college, I
had an Electricity and Magnetism physics proff who was very good at
describing diagrams, he wasn't always around and everyone else was
abysmal at it.  Moreover, as gear became smaller and smaller, it became
increasingly difficult to trace wiring by touch.  So I let others do the
work.

However, I did build some of my own gear and, as I said earlier, used
terminal strips and had the diagrams from the Braille Technical Press so
they were already described and all I had to do was mount the stuff on
perf board and away I went.
