Toroids - to wind or buy.
Either approach is absolute fine. They are apparently very windable by
the average bear. In my case, I tried to wind one. It was very ugly
and no fun.
Mychael's work is very nice. The toroids look good, evenly spaced and
nicely stripped and tinned. For me there is n
I wound my own on the K2 and KSB2, and purchased them for the KAT100 and
KPA100. Mychal provided great service and excellent products. I will
likely continue both traits. I will make my own on small projects, and
purchase them on larger projects.

I agree, if we're talking about toroids and not those dreaded overheated
torroids .
I wind my own but, as Craig says, some builders get frustrated doing the
turns count, stripping the enamel off properly, etc. For them Michael's
service is invaluable. For anyone who wants to shave an hour or so of

I second this motion. Well at least the part that says it's not necessary.

I agree that if you're advanced in years and have trouble manipulating small
objects you might find winding torroids to

He does great work. If you can't find the reference on the web site, just
drop him a line. You don't need to send him your cores. Just place your
order and the toroids will be on their way "toot sweet" (my apologies to our
French speaking members)
K1 or K2 or Elecraft?
I built the K2 #54xx last spring. Went very well,
soldering skills came back quickly - from my
previous ham Heathkit days ..
One thing I would strongly recommend, although not
necessary - is to buy the PRE-BUILT TOROIDS, from the
"Toroid Man" Mike. He's listed on t

Gary, I can't claim to be a "beginner" but I know a lot of beginners have
done it.
It's really quite simple if you follow the manual and take the build one
part at a time. I don't know what you built in the 80's but I've found that
good kits, like the Elecraft rigs, have become easier to build ov

Hi Gary,
As you have had some kit building experience in the past I don't think you
should have any problems with the K2. The instrucion manual is a very complete
and understandable "Heathkit" style manual. Just take your time and follow the
instructions and you'll have a very rewarding experie
Hi, I've been reading many of the posts here as well as reading through the
manuals on the Elecraft site. I've been thinking about building either a K2
or K1. I've read some of the magazine articles that state that the K2 is not
a beginners kit and I have read other sources that state beginner
