[SixClub] Question on Amplifier

[Frosty]

Well Steve,
Are the parts available to everyone and not everyone wants to build such a 
shack warmer.
Is it really that cheap to get all the stuff to build it?  I remember 
reading QST and some of the
articles about building your own equipment. One of the persons that had 
written such articles was a president of a very large and well known 
electronics company. He had unlimited resources to draw from. I never had
what he had.  I have in the past built all sorts of Amps. finding all the 
required parts is a real task at best.
