I learned to do component level repairs in the Navy working on radars and occasionally working on an early Navy computer. (with vacuum tubes) By the time I retired from the Navy they were doing board swaps but would send boards to a rebuild facility. There are company's today doing board level repair for computers but I think it would take a very committed person to find one and apprentice out until they learned the skills. Ralph
