Lovely article. You have described the typical Diy' it perfectly.

Shoot, I am a tinkerer...

Although I finished and used at least 20% of my projects

Jan, thanks for a very encouraging article. I thought I was the only one with unfinished projects!

First: believe that you can do the job. Despite the momentary setback, be sure you are going to come through this eventually. Never give in to the idea you are too uninformed, or stupid, to solve the problem sooner or later. It has an answer and you can find it

Lots of encouragement here!

Hi Jan,

Great article. One comment only.

He is right on that clean leads (especially when older parts are being used) are needed. However scraping is much harder than using a piece of Scotchcbright to clean them with.

Regards,
Greg

Hello Jan,
Great article! I can relate to everything except for 'modifier', may be. Have built few speakers, enjoy listening to them; Have a monkey coffin of a speaker designed , XO components procured, but cant find time for the actual build.
Quite a few amps and related circuits built, even more in various stages of completion, waiting for free time.

So I am like the typical diyer described here. The article is sure to fill a renewed sense of energy to pursue the hobby to anyone reading it. hopefully it fills me up first

.

Thanks for sharing

regards
Prasi
