My wife showed some interest when i was capping a bunch of mac boards one night,

She has zero soldering experience.

So I was at microcenter today. I saw these kits, and I thought what the heck.

Got it for her(Kit #1), and some supplies. She soldered that bad boy up, I was proud.

She was proud of her self aswell, from parts-to-a-working kit, add 12v, and watch the magic happen.

Next I am going to get her the SMT kit.

Then I can have her start capping boards and PSU's :)

That's great, Uni! And even rare, a significant other who shows interest! :approve: This can even open doors for both of you to careers in repairing electronics, as well.

My dad, a licensed electrician for over 40 years, taught me how to solder when I was about 8 years old. I later took electronics courses at a vocational campus, while still in high school, and that allowed me to gain further experience up to Series/Parallel Resonance circuits (the basics of how radio and TV tuner circuits work, how to diagnose and how to repair). I was trying to advance further into digital logic and control circuits 11 years ago, but I ran out of funding to continue taking classes; that, and life got in the way. Oh well.
