Just realized how waiting for schematics in the mail shaped my repair style

I used to spend weeks fixing a single radio because the manual took forever to arrive, but today's instant downloads have changed everything.

Yeah, that forced waiting period was like a crash course in reverse engineering. You'd stare at the guts of a thing for so long you'd start to see how it was supposed to work even without the paper trail.

I waited nine weeks for a capacitor once. That kind of patience really does change how you approach a broken device.
