I had the honor of working with a number of the old guard Field engineers
that knew the pointy end of a soldering iron from a scope probe. There were
few left by the late 80s that could still setup flight times for the hammers
on the big printers or setup a unibus crate. Then there were the new kids
that we wouldn't let have more than basic screwdrivers.
