Hello Tony: I am a little ahead of you, just getting ready to go through the second set of testing and tuning the receiver. I second what the others have said about using a visor with several interchangeable magnifying lenses. Also make sure that you match parts to their pictures and don't be hesitant of calling the guys and girls at Elecraft, when a part does not quite match. Turns out that certain parts have changed appearances by color or shape. But they are great and reply quite quickly. Finally someone there gave two other tips. 1) work on a raised platform, so that the parts are at eyelevel when using magnification or lower your chair to accomplish the same idea, saves on the back pain! and 2) Buy some bright portable Halogen bulb lamps to use for lighting the boards and parts, also saves on eyesight! Good luck on the build and I hope to QSO with you, when I get s/n 6301 on the air and learn code!!
