Warren Young aka tangent, has tutorial videos on his site for soldering and other topics. While he primarily builds headphone amps the information he provides about getting started in DIY is completely applicable to vacuum tube gear.

I've thought about this enough to finally register in a local class that involves my assembling a small integrated amp over the next few weeks. This took some self-persuasion since I've never even soldered a joint in my life though I am usually willing to turn my hand to most things.  I'm enthused enough to throw myself into learning more so I am now looking for basic readings on the electronics of tube amps. I feel sure this must have been asked here before by my searching has not turned up too many relevant leads so can I ask, most humbly, if anyone has recommendations for basic (and I mean basic) introductions to electronics (books, websites, articles etc.)? I'd be happy to summarize for the edification of other late developers like me (assuming such a summary is not sitting somewhere on AC already :)

thanks all.
