In the age of throwaway products, fixing something is often more difficult than having it designed in the first place, but there are still gadgets that are rewarding to repair.

Radios, in general, are a great learning tool and a good way to practise troubleshooting skills, as hunting down dead spots is often a case of divide and conquer.
Restoring old radios is also appealing, as not only are the devices themselves often beautifully crafted, the hunt for the right components can be enjoyable in itself.
