They were known well for their forum where bunches of less lucky members of community gathered and rambled general nonsense on large scale.

They are also known for their silly overpriced products and kits. They sell plans of things you can generally find in a google search.

Only things that some people bought from there are some smaller TC toroids.

I've never done business with them myself. They have a reputation for hype and rip-offs.

Their toroids are worth buying. With Science First out of NY not selling toroids anymore, this place is one of the only places in town other than John Freau and John is only making limited quantities nowadays.

I got their lifter kit for Christmas and while I never did get the power supply to work that was of my own fault. I broke a small transformer and they mailed me a new one for free so I’d say that was generous but as for their prices go its very high. Other than that I don't think my parents ever had a problem ordering and the instructions they provided were pretty clear. But once I gained more knowledge of electronics I realized a lot of the stuff they sell could be built for less.

I'm locking this thread. We've been down the Amazing1 bashing path many times before, so no need to revisit this again.
