How (where) can I get either instructions, diagrams, or teachings to assemble from scratch an ST70 ? What I mean is to not use a kit. Therefore, I myself would acquire the individual parts from any number of sources...Including, resistors, caps, chockes, transformers, chasis, sockets, and etcetera. I would like to do this without circuit boards (no PCB, neither for driver board nor for power supply cap board) and simply do it all one hundred percent point to point with wires.
I would still like to find a way to build it as above even though I have received the following advice;
1) begginers should start with a kit not P2P
2) this is more dangerous
3) this is far more difficult
4) it won't look as nice (e.g. your chasis will be ugly, etc)
5) there's no advantage to doing it like that
6) this will take you so much longer
7) kits are proven and there's more support
8) ....and much much more
yes, I'm a little determined (or stubborn) and I appologize for that...but nevertheless, if you know of any resources or have thoughts that might help me achieve my goal, that would be hugely appreciated.
Kind thanks,
Eddie
