1. Good point Paul: I'm in Hermosa Beach (Southern California).
1a. Thanks Doc, Paul gave me okay and to give you heads up which I did, just hadn't heard back from you so I didn't want to put your stamp of approval on it.
2. Straight 8's are still in box. Cabinets are custom and partially built. Need LOTS of sanding. Think that is what stopped me. 8's are in storage, but I will try and post a picture soon.
3. Foreplay III did have the OD-3 tube. Don't have kit in front of me. Did that not have C4S? Also not sure of price. Seems like it was around $350, but I'll check.
4. Seduction does have C4S boards. Price paid was $279 + $75.
I'm not sure about what is fair pricing either. Any input from others would be appreciated. As I said above, all proceeds will be going directly back to Bottlehead to fund my own habit! Building the Quicksand and Quickie gave me the building bug again and proved I could still solder well enough to get the magic. I will add that the safety of the new battery kits is a BIG help for beginners. I remember the true fear of plugging my hand built original Foreplay into the wall. I thought for sure I was a goner. Instead, that little $99 preamp transformed by solid state system!
