Neither seem to be available anymore as kits, but this company was apparently involved in el cheapo. Barely over my initial budget, but seems like it comes with everything except the case.

Should I be looking for a specific style? Push/Pull, Single End, Triode, etc. From what I have read pp amps will be out of my budget.

Tubes will be a big part of your expenses and this amp uses very cheap TV tubes. Originally. Desigbed for 30WPC, can be less or over 150Wpc. Read about it on diyaudio.

the el cheapo has been discussed many times on AA, from what I have heard its supposed to be a killer little amp, I believe that Eli Duttman had something to do with it. You can get the schematic and do a p-p scatter project, but being new I would just go for the board and eliminate the probabilities of miswiring, especially for someone new at this. Go on AA and research it, a lot of good and knowledgeable folks there.
I just picked this little jewel up for $300, working, probably right up your alley...
