hi all from uk just completed my crack kit thanks to doc b for the excellent how to videos and explicit instruction manual.
despite being disabled with a brain disease and severe hand shaking at times, i managed to take my time and the crack has passed all its resistance and voltage tests with flying colours.anyone who is hesitant to do this kit because they havent done any soldering before neither had i .this was my very first time soldering so give it a go,take your time  its so much fun to build and a great sense of acievment .thanks to all at bottlehead and i look forward to adding the speed upgrade in a few months

Congratulations!  Taking your time and double checking is the key to a good build.
Be careful these Bottlehead kits are addictive.  ;D

Congrats on your amp.  I also just recently got into building a crack and it was such an experience.
