You'd think by now I too would have memorized resistor codes being roughly your age, but nope (... and there's no hope now as the memory certainly doesn't get better!). I had the opportunity not long ago to rebuild an HH Scott LC-21 preamp (the kit form of the 130 preamp) that was so poorly assembled I gutted it entirely and rebuilt it from the original assembly instructions, doing as you do, replacing the components that were bad. The assembly instructions were clearly explained and beautifully illustrated in full color. I had an absolute ball (re-)building it (just as if it were a kit) and it's an absolutely gorgeous sounding preamp. There's nothing like the feeling of satisfaction of building a kit and in the end having a wonderfully working unit that doesn't go up in smoke on first powerup 😆

@FluxCondenser 2 года назад

Amen to the satisfaction of building and enjoying a kit. A full color kit manual for the Scott? Sounds nice. Never worked on a Scott, but would love an opportunity.

I remember building my Heathkit weather station in 1980 when I was in my twenties. Took my time like I was building something for NASA. Weather stations still runs to this day, 24/7/365, non stop. Trying to outlive the Voyager spacecraft. Great quality kits. Miss the company.

That's a nice way to please a viewer with a gift. My father did make a lot of heatkits back in the past. Good quality for that time. Hope those electrolytes are still usable. If the previous owner had it stored dry. I'll follow your build always fun to see how others do a modify or problem solution.

@artmusselman4875 2 года назад

A very intriguing un-boxing. I built a lot of Heathkit bench equipment in the ‘70s but not any of their audio gear. I’m impressed by the quality of it all. I also appreciate the look of the pre-CAD hand taped PCB layout. I spent 35 years in PCB design and that takes me back to the beginning.

@6StringPassion. 2 года назад

I just wish it would remain unassembled, because the biggest thrill comes from turning on something that you actually put together. But I get it. You feel just as passionate about that part. That's why I'm a huge fan of this channel. As I said in the past, right up there in my top 5.

I hear ya. And I knew I would get requests to win the amp unbuilt. That didn’t work out this time, but stay tuned. If this goes well, I may consider doing an unbuilt-kit giveaway in the future. I’ve got quite a few unbuilt kits.

@davegorum7684 2 года назад

When I first seen the resistor color code I noticed it used the same sequence as when a prism or rainbow refracts light into the color bands minus indigo. I had already remembered that by using the mnemonic ROY G BIV. Each letter corresponds to each color in order of refraction. R is 2, O is 3 and so on to V #7, leave I (indigo) out and remember black is zero, as in no color, brown as 1, grey is 8, then white is 9 as in mix of all colors. Multipliers gold .1 and silver .01 was the hardest. Separating a bag of mixed resistors helped a lot, practice. Color code are on a lot of components inductors, pico fuses, older capacitors and very nice on ribbon cables. Some 6 band resistor can be tricky, what end to start with. Still have and use a Heathkit nut starter form 40 year ago and I did not know what it was when I first seen it, like where does this thing go.

@FluxCondenser 2 года назад

It’s funny, I easily remembered that ROY G BIV trick long ago in high school and have never forgotten it. The resistor color code is going to take a little more time for my much older brain.

Nice amplifier I’ve always preferred the vintage look over modern black boxes

@FluxCondenser 2 года назад

I hear ya. Interestingly, this AA-1219 which sold from 1977-1981 is simply a restyled version of the AA-1214 which sold from 1973-1977. They’re exactly the same amp, I believe, but strangely, the earlier model has a black faceplate. And because of that, to my eyes, the older model looks more modern than the newer one.

I haven't built Heathkits since the 1970s, but do want to experience the feeling again. I have an HW-16 and the HG-10b. Would love to find a few smaller kits, t build again! Thanks for your consideration!

Grew up in 60s helping my father assemble many Heathkit and EICO kits. He was a Ham and had access to lots of surplus military gear. It was my job to disassemble components into drawers and yes I knew the resistor color codes very well...not today. I was always amused when my father would get ready to test a new piece he had built. He called it the "smoke test"!

I built this same amp back in 1974. Cost was 99.95 then. I used it for years until we moved and I wanted to have 2 sets of speakers in different rooms. That was about 2006. Now my daughter and son in law have it but I'm not sure they use it very much but is was working just fine. The only thing that stopped working was the red 'on' light. I tried to replace it but, the new light wouldn't work either and that was as far as I got. Replacing with an LED would be what I would do today.

My Dad and I built an AR-17 kit together in the late 60s that lasted many years. I moved on to other receivers(Kenwood, Pioneer,Sherwood, Harmon Kardon) over the years and kept the Heathkit boxed away and last I checked it would power up but I was getting no sound (maybe just a aged capacitor somewhere) . It got left behind in one of the many moves I made somehow .

@zzyzxRDFwy15 2 года назад

If only I had the skills, tools, and space to build electronic components like this. Radio Shack and Health Kit catalogs were Christmas wish lists to me. As far as remembering resistor colors you can use a mnemonic like: "Bill Brown Realized Only Yesterday Good Boys Value Good Work" Numerically the value (0-9) of a resistor via the color-coded bands: Black (0), Brown (1), Red (2), Orange (3), Yellow (4), Green (5), Blue (6), Violet (purple, 7), Gray (8), and White (9)

Yes, and the previous model of this amp which is exactly the same internally and sold in the 70’s was originally rated for higher power. Again, nothing changed, but the power ratings became more conservative. I’ll do a bench test on this when complete and I expect it to do well.
