Good Morning All
I am William from upstate NY.  Old ears low budget and desire to do DIY projects.  My skill level is probably a little better than novice but honestly not much.  I do have some background in electrical circuit work  but still have to look up which lead is base and collector on NPN vs. PNP transistors.  So that gives you a clue to my skill.  I really enjoy fixing old or vintage audio equipment to bring them back to life.  My latest project was a Spectro Acoustic 200R that really sings now.   I am member of another forum and just found Audio circle as a link on GR Research website or YouTube channel.  
Thanks for having me and I look forward to asking a lot of dumb questions.  
William
