Do you know if the same guy that winds the kit toroids will offer a service to mount the K3 knobs to the FrontPanel PC board ASSEMBLY? ;-) Speaking of toroids, I assume the K3 modules will come with coils wound and soldered? I like soldering but I hate winding toroids... to put it mildly. 73

If there was a kit option to wind your own toroids I'd have gone for it! There isn't much skill involved in stuffing boards with parts and soldering them. Winding toroids is one area of kit building that demands a bit of craftsmanship. I really can't understand why people who like building so
