Start saving and hunting it's taken my 6 years to get all the parts together to completely make a few originals, down to every exact detail. It's been a labor of love and stubborn divotion It's certainly not for the swallow wallet, there is alot of waste and throw away. I've metered over 17,000 components of period correct parts. I've kept about 1,500. I found vector board in Roundup Montana, Caps in Olympia, Wa. Transformers wire and resistors at government auctions in DC. Rubycon caps and flea clips came from the UK. It's a very slow process, I've found I have to buy things in lots and shipping is very expensive just to get a few parts i needed. If you are set on it and ready to spend upwards of $10k to get it right. read all the files and make a list of the parts, model numbers, and date codes, and just start searching.
Best of luck!

A question for the experts here: Are they all done with flathead screws instead of Phillips? That just bugs.

[Richie]

The ones i have seen ..yes.. Can't think of the name for them at the moment, Old stock Waldom have them..I think Allyn has a bunch of them. I use Philips,with locking kep nuts..

The boost switch on one of my Dumbles is labeled "Goes to 11"

Well you guys scared him off.

Maybe the guy has a fat wallet and would ask somebody here to build it for him.

With the current economy that would benefit someone here.

[novosibir]

how do i start doing that? what do i have to buy and ect??

First of all you need a bible...

... because w/o a solid belief nothing will happen

And then maybe something like: "Hello, I'm new on this board..." and maybe a bit about yourself - like you've learned it from your parents, as you still have been a child ?

But please don't ask me, where to buy 'Good Behaviour'
