Isn't that the truth.

I was amazed how simple they can be!

I got a small battery operated 5 tuber with a neat (but small) chassis that has a total of like 14 capacitors! The cost of recapping this is about 5$ You're tempted to change the ceramics while you're at it just because its not really an issue whatsoever. lol.

Contrasts with the 1230 that has pages of components.

That's when you understand the "you are starting with quite a large project" and "wow, a 9 tube radio" that don't mean much for a newcomer...
