You have a lot resources now a days. Use your computer. If you don't have one, get one. If the one you have is old and slow, get a powerful refurbished PC or laptop.
Download Schematics and watch videos.
Back in the day, to get parts we had to go stand inline at a counter for some guy who would look in his catalogs for the part you needed. He wasn't particularly friendly, and the part was expensive and the shop had to order it for you if they didn't have it. Now you can do that yourself.
Shop around. You can find the same part at EBAY as you can at Mikesxs, usually at a huge discount.

This great community is so helpful. Do what the gurus tell you. Watch the video three times (if you want) or watch three videos one time each (if you want). Look at the parts list and the pictures. Looking, watching and listening is more important than reading sometimes.
Good luck and have fun.
