much easier than the heathkit.
You will notice the parts are smaller, has no point to point wiring,
and almost no mechanical assemblies involved like the tediuos
assemblies in HW 9. The alignment (for K1) is easier too.
Many find it enjoyable to build and usually sell them so they can
build another one!
