I couldn't find a dedicated introductions section, so am posting here as ericgibbs suggested - thanks Eric!
Well, what to say! I live in Kent in the UK and got into electronics when I was at primary school. Ever since then, I've been interested in how things work, tinkering, creating and repairing!
My interest in electronics got me into several other fields of interest - for example, I have several arcade machines which I am doing up, and piles and piles of old professional and consumer VCRs going back to the Philips N1700.
As I am currently unable to work due to illness, I thought it'd be a good time to have a tinker with some electronics! I was looking for some answers to some problems, and stumbled across this site - seemed like a nice community to join!
