I was another beta builder, and I did the deed on Saturday, in between a 
bunch of honeydoos and a dinner in a restaurant.  I can confirm Ed's 
comments about an easy assembly from a well written manual. Found a few 
typos, but everything went smoothly, and I got a tour of the inside of 
the amp. Very nice piece, well built. I took about four hours to do it, 
including making notes of the typos.  Others might do it a lot faster. 
:)   Only complaint is that Elecraft STILL doesn't understand the Pin 
One problem.  The RCA connectors for ALC and PTT float from the chassis. 
AARGH.

Buying this as a kit is strongly recommended.
