I finally finished tuning the beast. Of course I needed help to get the circuits to their final resting positions. But I figured a post of all the links that were used to aid in my general education. These sites were kind of the book study that were needed for me to get an understanding, then of course coming to this site would allow for some Instructor Assists and Q & A. Anyway here are the links that I used:

That's some good stuff there Picchi. More stuff to print off and put next to the toilet. It is amazing how complicated the whole process can be.

Man, I treated like college class...try to learn the "book knowledge" first then get into the "hands on". I thought I was pretty anal about the whole thing, but I'm still confused. Some people just have the aptitude for it...I for one do not. Not yet atleast.

Haha....I work the other way. Hands on first and then resort to books if I can't figure it out. Really though, I get a better understanding if I have something in my hands first before I read about it.

Here's another link, that I found very helpful, to add to the list.

http://www.teamcalamari.com/dox/tekcarb24.html

Some of the links above are now dead, but the "home" part of the site is still up. Therefore I won't comment on wether or not they are dead links. They may come back to life and I'd hate for someone to not get the info the need.
