![Japanese print advertisement. Kyowa International regularly advertised on the rear cover of Technique of Backup magazine. This particular example comes from the March 1989 issue. The fully assembled KIC-045DX supergun cost ¥5,000 ($39) more than the unassembled kit. According to the advertisement, “this kit includes a case with precut holes and assembly instructions. Position the parts, solder the pieces, and tighten the bolts. An optional color VHF video converter [RF modulator] is available for purchase. Assembly time requires approximately two hours. Assembly requires tools such as a soldering iron, nipper, pliers, and multimeter. This project is recommended for people who possess skills in electronics, such as those who may have previously built a transistor radio.” (Courtesy of Sansai Books)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ub26wq7eiicsoqjefzqvmzlz/bafkreig4esur2xs6vwo32kaundvivbrxcdguwtzuajfmwc3q2sjgnhnrkm)
