Right out of old sci-fi movies. Anyway, I started audio kits without much electronic knowledge. One, my first, is a Hafler 220 amplifier I built back in the later part of the 80's. Still in use. From that I ventured later into building a scratch built from a schematic tube line preamp. I made many mistakes but persevered and got it to work. Still in use.
Good luck, you'll be surprised what you can do. Just be careful too. Lots of info on the internet too.

I appreciate your tip on those Jameco kits. I would say the theremin one sounds cool, like something out of an old movie. I also like how you began with the hafler amp and kept at it even with the challenges. That kinda gives me hope.
However, I've had cases of getting the wrong parts shipped when I ordered items on some sites, I hope that won't be the case if I decide to try ordering from them? Any tips on how to go about it?
