> A significant portion of my childhood was spent taking things apart

Only after years I realized how kind it was of my parents to allow me, without saying anything, to take their first cassette player (and other stuff) apart.

After I took apart our new VCR my parents started buying me junk electronics from thrift stores explicitly for this purpose.

Perfect. I hope you put the VCR back. My parents' cassette player did well with one gear missing until I figured it out how to put it back completely.
