I'm not going to purchase an 808 (even though it is my favorite of the 3) because I'm going to use that money to get the new linndrum. To each his own, I guess. Also, whereas I am a electronics diy newbie I hardly think I am going to butcher my 606 as I have plenty of other diy experience and I trust myself with my tools.

I am asking for other people's advice because I don't want to reinvent the wheel (like the kid who bought & butchered your 606).
