I have all the parts in my shop to build it .... sourced them all when I built my 2204 .

from experience .... soldering while pants-less or even wearing basketball shorts ...... is NO BUENO

flip flops too ..... nothing like a molten bead of solder landing on top of your bare foot .. or melting through your basketball shorts ...landing on your nutz

Please post updates if you do build one. I'm thinking about giving one of Jason's PCB builds a shot.

Not only that, but the gun has to be cocked. Pun intended ?

Keep us updated. Was looking at his DIY offerings and got intrigued. Which transformers are you going to use?

I sourced the chassis , headshell and transformers through Nik at Ceriatone per Jason Tong's suggestion .... I belive the transformers are the "Gargoyle set " they have the tap to do DC Heaters ....
I used Heybauer on my 2204 build .... very happy with results there ...

That should be an awesome build, can't wait to see it.

+1 , hate when that happens.

I built one a while back but mine had issues where it never got full power steadily. I likely had a cold solder joint or faulty connection somewhere. Having said that when it would have full volume it sounded great. I just didn't have time to troubleshoot it so I sold it for parts.
