Thanks. This is definitely a basic project to assemble so how easy it will be really depends on if you can already solder or not. If not then you can always practice soldering and desoldering on a broken VCR or something. Also the kit only includes the circuit board and the parts that go on it. The box, RCA connectors, toggle switch, power connector, stand-offs, diode, and rubber feet where all purchased separately. You'll also need a 10 to 30 VDC wall-wart.

I'm not sure on this. I would think that you could since I don't see how any DC could be coming from a cartridge, but I could be wrong.

Honestly I completely forgot about including a ground post when I was visualizing this project. I didn't even realize this until I went to hook my 'table into it.
