I remember in jr. high I got a KG-240 5 tube stereo amp kit for Xmas. It had a metal case. I think it was rated at 10 watts. Having a transformer output, I could hook up many speakers to it, and it would drive them all.
Along with it I got a turntable and speakers. The speakers came with heavy walnut cabinets w/cane speaker cloth and Jensen 8" co-ax drivers. Had a lot of fun putting everything together.
The next year, I got a KG-70 Transister Stereo AM/FM receiver. This was the most complex Knight Kit I ever assembled, but after weeks of soldering, it worked like a champ.
When I was deployed to Korea for the Army, many years later, I gave the stereo to my brother, as I was actively purchasing all kinds of in-expensive stereo equipment thru the PX. While the new stereo equipment was much better, it was not as much fun.
