it's really easy to assemble one or two cgs ringmods from the assembled 
boards you can buy, just take an 8 hp blindplate, drill 6 8.2mm holes 
for the s6 sockets, hot-glue the two cgs boards to the plate (the 
transformer's "casing" allow this quite smoothly), wire the sockets, 
done. it's a lovely ringmod. if you feed it with a high-power sine from 
i.e. a testsignal generator (like a heathkit) and a microphone thru 
preamp, you can get the exact sound of the imperial probe droid in The 
Empire Strikes Back...Looooovely :-)

cheers,
denis
