In Reply to: RE: Building My FIrst Kit...What Fun posted by Mister Pig on July 01, 2009 at 22:46:41
Yes it was some of the most fun I ever had with my pants on. There used to be lots to choose from. McIntosh, Scott, Eico, Knight, Heathkit and Dynaco among others all used to offer components in kit form. I found them not only fun but very rewarding, educational and economical as well. At first all my assembly was to the letter of the manual with not even the slightest deviation but then the tweaking bug bit. Some tweaks worked and some resulted in pieces wiz banging themselves to death. Live and learn. Having built it however makes it a lot easier to repair it. I've never been much for secret magic snake oil. You don't get much of that in kit form. I miss kits and wish there was more interest in them and more companies making more of them.
Have fun and remember the golden rule "never let the smoke out"
