Please post the source ... at $44 for the kit you found a bargain.

I too built the kit and had no problems. Took about an hour or two as I
recall and worked first time. My only complaint with the kit was the poor
color coding on the resistors was hard to read and required constantly
removing my glasses ... but then again my eyesight isn't what it used to be
either.

OK, sounds like the Dick Smith kit is the way to go. Now to decide
whether to get it from Canada or our world cup bound friends at the end
of the earth...
