Wow that is truly great! I'm interested in one of the brass or bronce. Will there be something to allow use with SAL or VG amp racks? Hoping the answer is yes!

So 1500CHF is the price?

Is it still going to come with info/schematics with a feedback circuit to use with it? I thought you mentioned something like that in the past. Is there going to be some sort of user's manual for those of us that don't have the pro equipment to just hook it into?

hello
yes price is CHF swissfrancs. = approx same as the $ at the moment.
first the goal was $1500 us$.
but it looks like if i start selling the exchange rate $ and euro (when i started with design $ was 1.2 and euro 1.5 CHF) are half the value....
so maybe when preorder start i fix the price in chinese renmimbi, gold or even better DIAMONDS ! hehe. sometimes i accept also natural goods.....


the prototype doesnt have the heating wire holders. but for sure ther will be some kind of system to fix heating wires...
i just need to find a simple and good way..

I would also be interested if they will fit a stock VMS 70 setup!

I have learned in the past two weeks it is handy to have spares of EVERYTHING for this sucker, even something as silly as a 1.6amp fuse.

Yea, you should grab some microswitches too. I've already had to replace one in my suspension box. Have source and part numbers if anyone needs.

Seems pretty straight forward to build a small adapter to mount onto a Presto

Whats your turn around when placing an order Flo??(2/3 months) ??

Is it possible to get the schematics for building an amp to suit??
