Message-ID: <468@aplcomm.UUCP> Date: 10 May 88 14:03:10 GMT Sender: news@aplcomm.UUCP Reply-To: mjj@stda.jhuapl.edu.UUCP (Marshall Jose) Distribution: na Organization: The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Lines: 25 With regard to Mike Butts' question about parts companies specializing in audio construction, I thought he might be interested in Mark V Electronics. They don't sell individual parts, but they do sell a remarkable variety of audio amp kits and other audio kits. Amp kits range in power from 5 to 200 watts. My preference is to homebrew my own, but parts acquisition is getting to be the #1 hindrance to the hobby. Mark V seemed to be a good starting point, since ther kits come with the heatsinks, the damn-hard-to-find power transformer, etc. I reasoned that I could start with their design and modify it if it was lacking. I was pleased with the results! For those hobbyists who would prefer to wind their own transformers, etc, I can't recommend much; but for the bloke who wants to get "on the air" first and dink with the design later, Mark V seems the best bet.
