It arrived today! Took about 10 days from placing the order to arriving at our house.
The box looked beat - oh boy ...
Upon opening I found things packed to survive the abuse of coming halfway around the world
It looks like a kit to me!
These are the instructions???
Ok, so here are my sentiments so far:
GOOD:
I like the idea of NEW for a change.
The chassis is fairly heavy, I kind of expected tinfoil.
Transformers all checked for continuity.
Nothing was ship damaged, tubes are all intact (nothing broken)
The design seems very simple.
Components seem decent quality upon inspection.
Price is very right - still waiting to see if a bill shows up from UPS tho ...
BAD:
Documentation - what documentation???
Only has a small schematic and parts list. I would at least like a diagram and/or picture to go by for component placement.
Can anyone translate Chinese?
I have requested at least a good quality picture of the completed chassis and a couple of technical questions concerning connection of the power transformer. I guess I will see how good customer support is on this. So far, tho, it seems overall good, worth the money. Not bad for less than $200, and I get to build an AMP kit! 8)

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
