Electricity and Electronics Courses

I'm a 68 year old with a B.Sc in Pure Mathematics and have used and donated to your excellent website.

I collect and (try to) repair vintage calculators, particularly HP & TI programmable ones. My current project is reviving a 1979 HP-97 calculator/computer which was the first machine I programmed with Business Applications. I've spent 35 years in IT but I now realise I'm lacking electrical and electronic skills to try and trace or repair faults or power on issues.

So I want to start studying Electrical and Electronics Courses so that I can trouble-shoot issues. There are a number of what look like suitable courses, but can anyone tell me the order of the courses I should take, bearing in mind I'm primarily a pure maths guy and my electrical engineering skills have not gone any further than A Level Physics taken in 1966.

I want to learn basic electricity and electronics so that I'm able to understand and write schematic diagrams and trouble-shoot vintage electronic faults in calculators.

All suggestions are welcome please.

Hello Dennis,

Since you're looking for the basics, KA does have their own course on Electrical Engineering that might suit your needs! I'm not very familiar with electronics, but I expect this course covers most of what you will need. Please let me know if you have further questions, hope this helps!
