     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.  Their addr:

	Mark V Electronics, Inc., P.O. Box 6610,
	Alhambra, CA  91802  (818) 282-1196

             customer.
