I did some assembly work on a couple of Elecraft kits out club bought a few years ago.
In many ways the manuals were better than the Heathkit.
The intent of the kits was to give newcomers experience in soldering. Many were so lazy they did not want to learn or even show up to watch.
All they wanted to do was operate them once built so many of us with bench experience put them together.
Pretty nice rados too.
