If you want to read electronics schematics, first you have to know what the symbols mean.
I found this link on electronics symbols this morning. It’s new to me.
I don’t know how many people actually try to read schematics and fix or build things anymore, but since it looks like I may be able to pick up a little extra cash by assembling electronic gizmos for train layouts and modding old video game systems, it’s useful to me, so I’m posting it.

I didn’t realize it was a British/UK page, until I noticed the different symbols for resistors and capacitors. Other than that small national/cultural difference, it is an extremely good reference, IMHO. Thanks for pointing it out.
