Hi all,

SCA is an anomaly, in terms of a quality product in kit form. You won't find anyone else making quality stuff in such an accessible package.

With websites like Mouser and Digi-key it's not terribly hard to order all the parts for a project (minus tubes and transformers) from one source.

I'll look at the schematics, and make a parts list, then work my way down the list. Mouser has a cool function to save a shopping cart as a particular project for future use. It takes me an hour or two to get all my ducks in a row, but it's worth it.

Assembly is gonna take a little bit more knowledge and "common sense" but it's basically the same thing.

http://www.gyraf.dk/ has some great projects, and there are people on prodigy that make chassis and pcbs for most of them, which will eliminate most of the hard work.

google SoundSkulptor for some very, very nice kits. I have both SCA and the sound skulptor kits and am very happy so far...still building some of each.

I believe FiveFish Studios also offers "Kits" - but some are for the modified x51 type "500 series" chassis. The Hairball Audio stuff is pretty close to being a complete "kit" if you include the mouser cart links they provide.

There aren't too many "paint by numbers" kits out there that match the simplicity (especially wiring simplicity!) and thorough assembly instructions that Tim includes in his awesome kits IMO. Be prepared to "connect some of the dots" yourself with other projects - you might even learn a thing or two in the process! That's what DIY is all about.

+1 for Drip - haven't purchased yet but I've been checking things out for some time and from what I can tell, his stuff is awesome! Thanks for the tip Karl!
