Can you build a DZKit? Yes! The key to your success...DZKit Manuals.
1. Tips on kit-building. Each DZKit manu-
al has a number of pages at the beginning that
explain how to solder safely and well, how to
avoid static electricity that could damage sen-
sitive electronics, how to sort parts, and how
to follow the step-by-step instructions.
2. Detailed Parts List. Each board or chas-
sis construction section has a list of parts
along with a picture or drawing of the each
part for easy identification.
3. Simple Step-By-Step procedures.
Every step has a set of parentheses next to it
so that you can check off the step as you fin-
ish it. The steps are written in non-technical,
everyday language so everyone can under-
stand.
4. Detail drawings, pictorials, and col-
or pictures are used to show exactly what
the board or chassis should look like.
5. Exclusively with DZKit, parts bags
are pre-sorted. When parts look similar,
they are placed in different bags. Each bag
contains a printout of actual part names (C12,
R22, etc.) and their values. Match the part
with the silkscreened text on the board and
you can’t go wrong.
6. Also exclusive to DZKit, if you have
access to a nearby PC while build-
ing your kit, you can bring up the
board layout using free software and
search for a part name. The software will
show you exactly where the part goes.
7. Operating/Troubleshooting Instruc-
tions. Our more complex manuals are bro-
ken into three parts - assembly, operating and
service/troubleshooting, and each of these are
very detailed.
8. Circuit Description, Block Diagram
and Schematics. If you are technically
inclined, or interested in learning about elec-
tronics, you’ll find the Theory section of the
Service Manual very helpful as well as edu-
cational.
9. Warranty. DZKit warrants all kit parts
against defects in workmanship and materials
for a period of 90 days after shipment.

Alan has met DZKit standards for quality, but he does not work for
us. We do not pay him, and he does not pay us. You work out details
directly with him. He can build some or all of any of our kits, and
can also service them if the need arises. If you would like us to drop-
