his is my first kit project. Got an Elekit from VK Music, out of Vancouver Canada. The Elekit is a Japanese SEP design. Auto Bias, that can take EL 34, Kt88,550, and other pentodes. Uses a 12ax7 as a pre-driver, and solid state rectification.
My tech skills are basically non-existent. I really knew nothing about soldering. Fortunately, I have a friend who is a process technician, and very DIY capable. He is looking over my shoulder, teaching me good soldering technique, and coaching me through the assembly process. I am very grateful for his guidance.
Got the board pretty much populated, I imagine the kit is at least 2/3 of the way complete. Looking forward to hearing how this guy is going to sound. Apparently Elekit has been around a long long time, and well regarded in Japan.
Well another session or two, and I hope to have this guy home and making music. Hopefully this won't be my last kit, but I am enjoying the heck out of the process. I really recommend doing this if possible, it adds a different level of understanding to the hobby, and allows a person to appreciate their gear in a far different way than just buying it.
