Hi Phil
Definitely kit built as I got it with the manual many years ago complete with the original owners scribbles! It does sound really nice and fingers x’d since the last (hopefully final) rebuild it’s been 100% reliable and “quiet”. Since taking the pics I went back and swapped the polyester caps in the power amp section for paper in oil as it was sounding just a tad clinical. Changing those caps seems to have returned the tone I remember. I like listening to a lot of 60’s stuff and it just sounds right on this.
Best
Mike
