I have an idea for a hands on activity - how about giving some tips while making a build? I, like quite a few others, am a new builder. I have only done mods on various amps and various minor rehabs, but I've never built an amp from scratch. I think something like this would really be helpful and interesting and might help sell more kits even.
Maybe we can do something like that????? I could possibly have a couple amps in various stages of production and do a couple quick steps to each..........somewhat like a cooking TV show????
These DIY builds just aren't a 1-2 hour process.........You could spend the weekend building one.
While I wouldn't mind selling more kits, the Focus of the Convention is the Hylight Electronics Equipment and the legacy of Dave Reeves.
It is a good idea, I will have to spend some time thinking it out!

Glad you like the idea, Clayton! Thanks for considering it. Yah - just like a cooking show I think just running through a circuit and pointing out details when building, and indeed, saving some stages for building at the convention would be great, even just soldering tips would be helpful and appreciated. Maybe various experienced builders could give insights and experience during the demonstration...

Yea, gather up a bunch of those old ones in England and bring them to Indiana for the competition. I'll be in charge of hauling off those old junkers when we're through.
