Default fresh boatanchors, anyone?

Things have changed since the 'old' days.
You could perhaps sell a 2NT-like transmitter for about 500 bucks and make
little
profit, but not sure how big the crowd at the check out line would be.
Sounds nice though...but I think those days are gone. Unless you come up
with a cake pan thing such as had been done.
Or, take a look at doc bottleheads site at...

No reason you couldn't take some tips from him, and make something with a
wood box, and a sheet of metal. Hit 'products' , then scroll to the right.
Some pretty nice shots, eh??

All,

I've occasionally seen homebrew tube transceivers on Ebay that range
from really good to too gnarly looking to seem safe. I am thinking of
creating a line of clean-looking, attractive, rugged tube equipment for
casual or missionary use with a reasonable price/output performance
that is easy to repair and adjust, based on schematics and design
principles that have gone into the public domain.

Would there be an audience? Comments?
