He’s just turned 8. We home educate, so this is ‘school’.
We’ve got a little digital multimeter, which we mainly use to check the resistors before soldering because i’m colour blind so can’t work out their stripes.
My father-in-law is an electronics engineer so he can help if we decide to tackle anything that’s beyond my capabilities. Although it’s amazing what you can learn just watching videos on Youtube!

Oh ok cool! If it's something you carry on with, there are PC based scopes/signal generators etc that might help. Or wait for old 'obsolete' stuff to turn up on ebay.

Nice!
How old is he/does he have access to proper diagnostic gear at school/college yet? There are so many amazing synth kits to build if you have the time to solder them and the gear to calibrate them properly.
