I'm a seven or an eight. I can take apart and repair most things, I only run into problems when soldering tiny things off of a commercial board comes into play, mainly because I don't have a decent soldering iron. I may not know that the matricating hyperflux dematroogulizer is what the little yellow thingumy is called, but I can (usually) tell that the yellow thing is the problem and order a new one. My buddy Tony does all the soldering though. I'm all thumbs.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I put my n00B self at a 78)  I've fixed 10 or so gameboys, replaced at least 50 PSP screens and/or motherboards, and mod-chipped about 5 PS1's and a PS2. I started with a box-lot of Genesis systems, and I got into TG/PC Engine repair by default; all these broken units keep showing up!

I'm by no means an expert, but due to the amount of broken consoles I own (30+) I feel obligated to learn as much as possible. I'm currently working on a RAM repair that is causing me to question my sanity.
