Well, I’ve ordered the last components I need, and also ordered a batch of PCBs!<\/p>\n
For the past few weeks, I’ve been fine tuning the PCB, slowly improving fidelity to the original. Every few days I would find another little feature in the original, that I didn’t notice before. Almost all of these changes are cosmetic and wouldn’t affect functionality. Last cosmetic improvement was this morning. I guess I finally decided that it was close enough. To be truthful, I’ve been worried about accidentally breaking something functional. Getting boards of this size made, is very expensive and a batch of bad boards would set me back a pretty penny. I should have the PCBs within a couple of weeks. Next step will be assembling, testing and writing the assembly manual!<\/p>\n
My waiting\/interest list for kits is small, but steadily growing. If you are interested, send me a line and I’ll add you to it. If you are not an experienced electronics kit builder, or not completely comfortable with hooking up transformers to 110AC. I would recommend starting with one of Vince Briel’s A1 kits, which are significantly easier to put together for a variety of reasons. Once I get the first set of kits together, I’ll be offering them for sale, first on the list, first opportunity to buy. This should be sometime in Feburary.<\/p>\n
