Common rookie mistake: starting with parts and trying to make something of them.
It takes a lot of insight (knowledge + imagination).
It's easier to *start with a schematic* and scrounge for parts.
(Generally difficult, but you may learn something
in looking up the specs for what parts you have.)
...and you'll quickly find out about PITA "in-house part numbers".
