Kit are fun projects. Even after hours of soldering and cursing yourself for staying up late, you just keep coming back for more! I'm always impatient when assembling kits. Keep in mind, that I'm no electronics expert - just an amateur - so I'm always a tad over-anxious to get started.
First off, the kit instructions, most of the time, are a joke. Poorly writen and have addendums/warnings that you have to read carefully.
Here are some key points:
All in all, if it doesn't work find an elmer. That's pretty much it.
Have fun and don't make it feel like work, after all, it's only a hobby honey...honest!

These are photos of the lab equipment that I use to service any type of (tube, transistor or integrated digital) electronics. Although, I prefer digital electronics and programming, having been a computer technician for 12 years. Vintage electronics, as always, is a pleasure to service.
Hope, with time on my hands, I'll post more equipment and details available about my lab.
