Im seeing a new trend starting to happen now with ALOT of these amp builders. They are painting the copper board pretty colors, color coordinating all the wires and components, painting the ferite beads fancy colors etc etc. Then they are charging ridiculous amounts of money because the amp is so pretty and an art piece inside. And most of these builder's are not giving the customer the choice to not want it, they say "thats the way i make them, if you dont like it go somewhere else ". I dont know about other folks but who cares what the inside looks like. Build an amp properly that works correctly and call it good. I mean what are we supposed to do with it, take it apart every time to show people how sexy the inside of your amp looks? Hahaha, its pretty funny really. Look inside any amateur or commercial amp, they use whatever wire and components they had in stock that month to build them, they dont care about pretty colored wires and some fancy color scheme. First cb radios are like Christmas tree lights now the inside of amps too? What is it with this new generation of cb'ers and their need for pretty lights and colors on radio equipment? I just dont understand. Just make stuff that works correctly with usable and needed functions, you can keep the lipstick and rouge. Remember grey, black and bakelite? Yeah.
