YESSSS!!! lol and at just about the costs of the parts! Not including the custom case or carbon fibre work (my day job) you really don't want to know how much proper carbon stuff costs to do its just hideously expensive.
 
A custom one off piece like the Cracks top plate out of the same materials if building from scratch with labour would cost about the same as what I'm asking for the whole Crack!!! Just lucky I have a few pieces left over from previous jobs.

Lol. Being into recreational cycling, I can hazard a guess as to how costly that top plate is. Whoever purchases this is getting a steal regardless.

+1  I am on my 2nd Fostex driver replacement thanks to kids (not my own) curious fingers.
 
Thankfully my kids know not to touch the Crack amp, that would be a painful lesson if they touched the tubes.

Finally started work on my Crack. First order of business--enlarge the potentiometer shaft hole to accept a stepped attenuator. Then some sanding of the chassis plate and transformer bell, and painting with dark bronze hammertone paint.

Awesome! Hope to hear it at the next meet..... :)
Are you planning a speedball install too?

Definitely planning on having at the next meet. Thanks for reminding me--I need to reserve the library tonight for a date in November. Installing a Speedball is in my plans, it'll definitely be in by November. Still very tempted by that KSA-5 mini kit, but I want to finish the Crack first.

Cool, can't wait to hear it. I may also have a Dynalo Mk2 in the works for then.... :)
