Guides I have been working on:
Multi Meters: Why every retro gaming enthusiast should have one and the many things you can do with them. Will also include info on how to pick out a good budget meter, as well as my suggested budget meters.
Power Adapters: Everything you need to know about power (AC/DC) adapters. It will have the specs of as many consoles as possible, including all variations and regions. Pictures of official 1rst party adapters will be included, with the specs legible. In addition to that, a sub guide on how to easily find a power adapter for almost any console. This will include many things like is it safe to use an adapter with slightly over or under specs, plug/tip/barrel sizes, etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_NU2ruzyc4No written guide will do a better job than that video. The only other advice I like to give is to buy some perforated or "project" board and some cheap components (capacitors, resistors, IC sockets, etc) to practice with. All of which can be bought at Radio Shack for cheap. Watch that video and practice, you'll be soldering through hole components like a pro in no time.
Additionally, the multi meter guide mentioned above will have lots of basic electronic work. I'm gonna try and aim more toward the crowd that doesn't know squat about such things, but that's not to say it wont also include info for the more advanced tinkerers.

We actually have that guide as a thread in the forums here. IIRC, it tells you best stock option as well as best modified option.
