I honestly haven't had the time to start actual work on it. So far I've been doing a bit of research, obtaining various bits of test gear and books, and an assortment of non-electronic parts (buttons, rubber chassis mounts, decals, plugs)... still waiting for my speaker to show up. I've been laughing with my roommate that I'm into this radio this raido for $200 and I haven't even started fixing it yet! That having been said, I think that 'hollow state technology' is fascinating and I can tell I'll be making a hobby out of it, so I can spread out the cost of the equipment over several radios--and doing a few for friends once I get my feet under me, charging a modest supply and labor fee.
