I was 6.1 (officially anyway;  I was really a combined 6.1 & 6.3), class =
of '72
... so I'm an old fogie <g>!  Are you practicing EE these days?

That sounds like a great solution.  What do you mean by "bootleg"?

I searched for this ... apparently this is a kit.  How long does it take =
to put
together? =20

I feel pretty handy with a soldering iron.  But it's been a lot of years =

I've done any real EE work (I'm in software these days), and my =
diagnostic tools
are limited to a voltmeter ... so I'm wondering how I'd diagnose a =
problem,
should there be one after assembly.  What kinds of tools are necessary =
for this
kind of kit?

Thanks for the suggestion!
