hi folks, I,m new to this. Looking for help from someone near newcastle oz. I got a 55kit over a year ago and simply cannot find the time to finish it

Also i doubt my skills in this field. I am however a wiz with wood if someone would like to exchange work

Build me a house, I'll put your AKSA together.

Could have soldered a resistor in the time it took to write that message

Oldtimer,

Visit a local TAFE colllege, and ask around for an electronics hobbyist student. Ask to see some of his work. If it's acceptable, pay him a few bucks to put it together, and ensure he only gets paid if it all works.

Cheers,

Hugh

How far have you got?

It took me nearly a year to build my first amp, which happened to be an AKSA 55, so it sounds like you are on schedule to me.

I remember one morning I got up at 5:30 to work on my TLP before going work. Just get it done, your life won't be the same.

I live near Hornsby and can do the stuffing of the boards, if that's a help. BTW, all my amps have worked so far and I have a high opinion of my work if that counts.

Oldtimer - I agree with Greg. Devote 10 minutes a day, enough time to solder in a few components, and before long you'll be finished. The key is to allocate a workspace where you can keep the parts and and tools out, and ready to be tackled.
