My brain had to bridge the gap between two different worlds.

As did past generations with new technologies. No car- cars everywhere. That generation could rebuild a transmission whereas it’s a mystery box you have a specialist fix for you.

No TV, TV everywhere, tubes in tvs, then transistors. My much older brother in law can identify and fix any TV at the component level. Like identifying a bad capacitor and not only replacing it but understanding the circuit to know that a larger ufarad capacitor will not only work in that part of the circuit, but prevent a future problem.

I suspect that like me, your TV repair knowledge ends at matching cables on the back to ports and replacing batteries.
