Its also the way I tend to approach the hobby - practical fixes to faults rather than being too concerned about what theory would suggest or predict in such situations. I find theory is only useful up to a point.

Well said, that man!

Thanks Joe!

I've always been more interested in getting something to work satisfactorily rather than following theory word for word. A lot of the time it just isn't necessary. The only time I pay strict attention to it is when it really matters - safety issues, high voltages, etc.

Restoring vintage radios is a pleasurable hobby for me, if I arrive at a workable solution by thinking laterally or outside-of-the-box then that's just my personal approach. For me it's the end result that matters, not if I've followed conventional wisdom along the way.
