Not a publisher. Not a content farm. A hobbyist who got tired of guides that stopped before the hard part.
Hood's Finds started with a simple frustration: every electronics build guide on the internet stops at the interesting part. You get the theory, maybe a schematic, and then a vague "assemble as shown." No real parts list. No bias setup. No troubleshooting. No math.
We fix that. Every Hood's Finds guide covers the full build from first principles to final smoke test. 11 mandatory sections in every volume — theory, complete BOM, tools required, safety warnings, SVG schematics, step-by-step construction, component testing, performance testing, and a comprehensive troubleshooting guide.
The catalog covers CB radio, ham radio, linear amplifiers, antennas, calculators, schematics, and subwoofer builds — offline HTML guides that work from a CD-ROM, USB drive, or hard drive without any internet required. No login. No expiry. No subscription. Buy it once, yours forever.
The eBay store (hoodsfinds) has been running since April 2025 and has earned 99.5% positive feedback across 390+ orders. The Gumroad digital store runs alongside it with 80+ instant-download products available worldwide.
