Tuna Can Kits

Does anyone have experience with Rex Harper of Tuna Can Kits? He sells
precut PCB pieces for Manhattan-style construction.

Please respond off-list.
Thanks!

Re: Tuna Can Kits

Victor,

I had some dealings with him a few years back, when my club used one of his
Tuna Can kits for a club kit build day. He was very generous and easy to
work with. He even donated some extra items to use as give-aways for club
members.

73 de,

Hey Victor. I have sent you pics of a couple of the Tuna Can kits I've constructed. They were built as pure recreation. But they work! Not a K3S but fun QRP rigs.

Not the first time its been done. The Tuna Tin II designed and built by Doug
DeMaw used a tuna can for the chassis. The companion CB slider was built in
to a corned beef can. Just make sure to wash the cans thoroughly to keep the
cats away. :)

Re: Tuna Can Kits

Actually, I built the CB Slider in a chopped beef can. The Corned Beef cans we found all had sharp edges and were deemed too dangerous for the project. The Chopped Beef product fit the bill for both space and the project name. It was a fun project oh so long ago with pretty much all electronic parts obtained from Radio Shack.
