Title: Champ kit on order for my son Post by: T Wilcox on April 28, 2011, 02:05:34 PM Hello all
Got a 2550 kit coming for myself and have decided to also do a small build with my nine year old son, so today ordered the Champ ultra pack 1 kit as well. He knows how to solder and has already done a PCB electronics project that turned out very well, so I will only be assisting him where needed. What do ya think, a documented build from a nine yr old. Pretty cool eh Coming soon.. BTW I will not let him be exposed to any hazards other than the heat from the soldering iron which he knows to be careful with.

By the way, kinda sad that we live in a world where you have to throw that disclaimer in there...

There will not be power applied until project is complete and I have checked all connections. After that if there are problems that require chopsticking, I will do it! Main lesson goal will be to complete the project start to finish. He's only in 4th grade so I dont expect him to be calculating formulas and stuff. Although he knows resistor color codes already, Mainly because his dad is colorblind and needed help on first project!

He actually has installed the pots and tube sockets so far, but will be put on hold a couple more weeks when he gets his summer vacation. I did notice the chassis is painted white over the grounding locations after he had installed the tube sockets so if any one is starting this build the first thing that should be done is to file/grind down to the bare metal in each ground location. He will have to redo the tube sockets because of this!

BTW, was on another forum and saw a number of people espousing the Ceria product and their willingness to get the customer what they want. Bravo, Fred
