Might be a good idea to purchase an electronics project lab or set, this will familiarise yourself with the basics and you can build little radios and transistor amplifiers etc. Not sure there is a website offering exactly what you want, (lots regarding throry though so start reading these!) so you will just have to pull lots of faulty stuff apart and

Looking forward to this :)

It greatly depends on the driver as to whether shimming is absolutely vital or not Leslie, but some are absolutely essential, such as RL140's! SO basically I agree with Sorens post that shimming is the most accurate way of repairing speakers, although one thing I would argue is that if your spider is slightly out then really this should also be
