> This kit is a monster! I haven't assembled anything from a kit or
> PCB that was bigger. With 2
> PCBs, a full 3U FP, and mutiple connections to 2 reverb tanks it is

> around 8 different vendors--and it was a hassle to say the least.
> I have been working on this
> project for almost a year. With 2 exceptions, everything is in
> house and bagged up ready to ship.
> I have the Spectrol pots on order and they are due to arrive in
> December (not that far away
> actually). And once I have all of the orders and requests for
> reverb tank types, I will place
> that order. I have ordered a fair number of tanks from Accutronics
> in the past and they have a
> very good turn around time.
>
> You will have 2 options for shipping (at no additional cost): 1.
> I will ship the kit once the
> reverb tanks arrive and then ship the pots once they arrive. or
> 2. I will ship everything when
> the pots arrive in December.
>
> Payment in full can be made via Postal Money Order (preferred),
> Paypal or personal check (drawn
> off of US bank).

> If you would like to purchase a kit, email me for availability and
> I will also give you the
> options for the reverb tank.

> I am not selling these to make money. I just divided the parts
> costs evenly among the kits and
> assembled module. I am offering these a service to the modular
> community to make things a little
> easier and more enjoyable for people. I am providing the parts for
> the module. I am not an
> engineer and I am not the designer. If I supply the wrong part, I
> will replace it free of charge.
> If you need help assembling or troubleshooting the module, you
> will need to contact the designer,
> Scott Juskiw, for assistance.
>
> This is my 2nd kit to sell and my second assembled module, so I
> have learned a lot. All items
> individually packaged (very similar to MOTM).
>
> I also have 1 assembled module for sale. The PCBs are completely
> assembled, the reverbs tanks are
> in-house and prepped; it is just waiting for me to drill the FP
> which arrived today and for the
> Spectrol pots to arrive. I can obtain the Spectrol pots now, but
> the cost would go up about $50.
> This has a few parts that have been upgraded from what Scott specs
> in his BOM. In particular all
> Bourns trim pots have been used throughout to match the MOTM
> standard. I don't know if you will
> see another one of these for sale, so this is a great deal for
> either the non-kit builder or
> someone that doesn't have the time right now to assemble a kit.
> The cost shipped is US$725.
