I have built 2 K2 and a K1 but when I built my KPA100 I decided to try the
service to save time. His work is excellent, and at a very reasonable cost.
They arrive packaged and labeled. Worthwhile to buy- depends, winding toroids are not hard, just time consuming and boring. I was very pleased with his service, and made building the KPA100 a lot faster.
Joe, how could you say it's boring!! It's part of kit building, the
rhythmic in and out of the wire as you try to keep the toroid between
your fingers (and sometimes have it slip a fall and possibly break),
it's the counting of turns of wire (sometimes many turns) without losing
track, it's stripping the wires and hoping and praying they're really
stripped. Heck, it's one of those challenges I hope to master by the
time I die!
This is not take anything away from the Toroid Guy, I've seen pictures
of his work and I don't know how he does it -- and *repeatedly* at
that. In fact, I'm tempted...no! No. I can't. I won't. (At least not
yet!) The lure of tiny toroid and even tinier wire beckons me, Siren
like, and I hope not to crash on her shoals!
