anyone in here play one ?? build one ??

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

the only thing I need are the faceplates for the Chassis .... and 20 hours of free time ...
 
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
Scrambled eggs you say. I see ?
 
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.
 
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.
