Areal chinese PUZZLE AND NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED
I bought this kit some time ago and have only just got round to reading the very sparse instructions in English. There is included a set of instructions in Chinese with colour pictures but sadly those in the English version are almost black and effectively useless.
Zll of the components that matter seem to be there and it looks like a winter project to me. The instructions are in some sort of Chinses code and when the 9V transformer was required to power / decode the Gallbladder I was overcome with hysterical laughter. Apparently my education is not complete as hithertofore I was unaware that any valve equipmemnt especially a stereo VHF radio had a gallbladder.
The schematic is labelled in Chinese with a simpler version which looks like a poor photostat copy of a diagram that had been wet and dried out .... also pretty useless. I will add to this review at a later date after some construction work.
. Buyer BEWARE this is a REAL Chinese puzzle and will need a lot of time to unravel it. I give it 4 stars for this reason!!!!
