Default Re: More Chinese AM radio kits

If some other Forum members had attempted this kit with a similar lack of success then i'd know it isn't me being exceptionally cack-handed.
When I have 0 out of 4 kits work I wonder whether it is just me. I figure I wasted twelve UK pounds & that is enough to make this Yorkshireman very uncomfortable indeed.
Right now I am wondering about getting a shovel and upturning the dustbin to recover the other 3 corpses and learn something from my mistakes.

I measured the resistors before insertion in case there were any out of spec parts, but I don't have the means to do the same with the ceramic capacitors. Some of the odd values I do not have. In at least one attempt I used my own ceramic capacitors.
