Absolutely! I would not want to discourage anybody from learning! At one point and time I thought it was all "Magic" and there was no real explanation of how it worked.(I was nine years old) I started by hanging around a Television repair shop and the owner was patient and answered questions that made him roll his eyes. I worked for him just doing what he said to do like replace these tubes for me and let me know when your are done. Once he got me past the basics I devoured all I could find at the local library. Just be prepared before you jump in. There are lots of things you can build yourself for your shop.
Get a good quality power supply like the MEGAWATT units sold here by one of the sponsors. I have three of them and have worked them HARD with no failures or degradation in performance. Also buy more power than you think you will need.
You might not need it now, but soon you might when you start working with amps.
