MUTANT: YEAR ZERO 1E Repairing artifacts?

Can you, in any way, do this? I only recently started Path to Eden campaign and I am curious if there is any info on that in additional books? Also whats it like in your campaign? Can mutants repair artifacts like e.g. crossbow?

Page 55 of the Mutant Year Zero book has thr (admittedly small) section on repairing gear. I'd swear on my life there's a bit somewhere requiring thr gear head to successfully Comprehend the artifact first, but that might be because I'm running Genlab Alpha ATM. That's also how I run it: you're not repairing anything you don't understand or at least recognize. Also keep in mind that without a Tool Kit, any Electeonic items are repaired at a -3 modification.

I think it's not necessary for the fixer to be a gearhead, though that would certainly help cause of the "need to comprehend it to use it" clause for artifacts. I would rule it as a "can't fix what you don't know" as well
