Looks great so far! Let me know if you find anything weird in the instructions. It seems like they turned out pretty good.

I'm taking notes, George. Couple of minor things so far but the instructions are really great. This could get verrrrrryyyyy addicting!

Thanks, guys. It's kinda like going full circle. I remember Saturday nights at my Fathers knee out on the back porch watching him build his Heathkit Ham radio. I guess I aborbed more than I thought!

DONE! Well almost...

No George, it's not in the kit. It be would great if you would send it. I do have a couple of small glitches though. I got a 3 .1 caps and 1 .68 rather than the 4 req'd .1's. I found an old (ewww) orange drop that I popped in just to keep going. And, I got 1 56K and 1 47K rather than 82k and 100K for the bias circuit. I'm shooting down to the shit shack right now and pick up the resistors.

Also the 2 swtiches have different size paddles. Is that intentional?
I'll post pics when site attachment fucntion is back.

Thanks, George. The build was (TOO) fun.

I'M READY TO FIRE UP!

Of course shit shack did not have the 82K in any version

Thanks George. I've got some start up problems. I'll start a new thread so it catches the experts attention.
