I built the 50 watt mosfet amplifier, 50 watt hi fi amplifier and the 100 watt disco amplifier. I also bought the disco record decks. I built the sound to light unit too. Worked well for me for a good few years.

I find them very expensive so only use them as a last resort for a resistor or two if I am stuck.

You usually got a few of what you ordered with an out of stock list.
