Plan C is where you inhale lots of solder fumes and burn your fingers

Well, I can solder, but I can't read no scope. Guess it's on to plan C then. If anyone knows what plan C is, would you let me know?

I bought the BB chips from vintageplanet.nl . Nice outfit. I did start my project and did get the kit from Bridechamber, also nice guys. I should point this out if anyone decides to jump in to the Haible project. The Bridechamber kit is not everything, and is built on the MOTM platform, not Moog, thus some work to deal with the different power supply requirements is necessary. Some of the Bridechamber caps were hard to identify unless you have a lot of hands-on experience, and finally the Dragonfly treatment of this build is great but drops off about 80% through the build. The rest of the stuff except the BB chips can be found at Mouser or DigiKey. The bottom line – if you haven’t built anything of even medium complexity, as we say up here – fuggettaboutit. And a decent scope is a necessity.
