[Elecraft] Amplifier to build

[w2bvh at comcast.net]

FWIW on the AN762. I built one about 4-5 year ago and had nothing but trouble with it. Got almost no support from the supplier. Finally gave up on it. A couple of months ago I finally built up the courage to dump it in the trash. 

Sometimes you get  the bear sometimes the bear gets you.
