Recently I bought and assembled a Elekit TU-8500 preamplifier which impressed me enough to try another Elekit kit. This time i built the Elekit TU-8200 power amplifier. Then I had finished assembling the kit and tested it I had no sound in the left channel. After some fault finding I found a missing soldering. After I corrected the missing soldering the kit worked great. It is a beautiful and great sounding amplifier.

I recently assembled a Vellman K4040 vacuum tube power amplifier. The amplifier works well. It is nice to have an amplifier with the full schematics and part numbers in order to do repairs. Here are some pictures of the process. It was hard taking a good picture of it fully assembled because it is so shiny. My reflections can clearly be seen. K4040 with the cabinet open.
