thanks colin.
please keep me posted on any developments. i'll be watching the posts closer 
from now on..
i do have access to parts if the whole kit is not available. i work for a 
small company here in portland OR. Hamptone Electronics. specializing in 
tube based products..I basicly solder and box kits. but the owner is great 
about helping me find any parts i need..
we recently did a tube mic pre kit for tape op mag, and scott the owner is 
working on a j-fet version.
kits are definantly a chore espescially if your supplier is unable to ship 
you parts in a kit form...i spent hours and hours just counting all tyhe 
resistors for each kit... any way i understand if you choose not to offer 
the complete kit. how much is the pcb and parts list running. do you have 
templates for the 2 housings?
thanks again collin.
what inspired your task??
talk soon
