    I am such a noob too Dave (I did scrape a pass in the "Noice Soldering" exam tho).
    Hoping to accumulate the courage to try this.

    I talked to Colin about doing this because I'm finding it difficult to extract the nuggets from the existing thread and thought others might be similarly puzzled. 

    I want the build to be as easy as Colin believes it is, and I think Chews is a great place to pool this info.

    Good Idea chaps, and Suzytoe (is that her real name?)
    Now that my big amp is finished, kind of.  I'll start the build of the smaller one, and post a few pictures.

    Sorry for being stupid, how does this thread differ from Your help on how to build Colin's Baby SECA Amp Kit?
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    The other thread is for solid information.

    For example. You can buy a case from [link] for only £2.47.

    Such and such sells resistors in small quantities at a great price.

    Such and such is a bit tricky, but this pic shows how I used a sink plunger to get it in place.

    This thread is for exactly what you've used it for, James.

    Thanks!

    I'm more then happy to help anyone if I can.

    Soldering (or welding as I call it !) the bits on the pcb is the easiest part.

    Choosing case/heatsinks,drilling and tapping holes,layout etc takes more time.

    Nothing is difficult, but time and patience is needed, plus the love to make/build things.

    Fantastic! Thanks Paul.

    Perhaps you could help by pasting some info about heatsinks and cases on the other thread, plus perhaps a list of tools I'd need to gather to assemble the kits?
