It is a mystery, some of them become self-taught electrical geniuses too.

True, but Darwin eliminates some of them.
The trick doing your own electrical work, is knowing when to walk away.

Thanks for the offer, but repairing those upper tubes would be beyond my skills.
As they are I think they would tear up a seal in short order.
