Where can I find a beta22 builder? Need a 2.0 ch with metal chassis. Ready to use. Budget $500 or less. Can anybody help?

I can help by telling you to stop dreaming. Those are *ridiculous* expectations.

How is it ridiculous? All parts with a chassis cost barely $350. What is the minimum amount of service charge? How much? Isn't $150 okay for a couple of hours?

a couple of hours?
first: to populate the boards, is a hard work.
second: calibrate the boars
third:hole the chassis, wiring, etc.
fourth: 350 dollars waht components?
the beta deserve good quality

putting together a BOM and ordering parts is more than 2hrs, much less building the amp.

If you are happy with a B22 thrown together in a couple of hours, go right ahead.
 
Hint: you shouldn't be happy with that.

Is it even possible to assemble an entire B22 in a few hours? Fastest I've heard is 5. That builder (that is able to assemble in 2 hours), whoever they are, is Dr. Octo.

no way.  sure, stuffing a single O22 and 2x B22 boards in 5hrs, but not chassis work, wiring, biasing and testing.  stuffing boards is the easy part.

Yea, I don't think that was taking into account casework - I mean I've been working on my case for 2 weeks... lol.

anyone still building their own b22? or looking to build b22?

2 weeks? I've been planning my case work (drilling, board orientation and measurements) in my b22 enclosures for almost a year lol. Need to buy a drill press.

Wow, lurking since 2011 with the first post to see who is still building a b22. Welcome to the boards, friend.

A good drill press does make the job a lot swifter and easier.

The planning didn't take to long. The troubleshooting has taken the longest. :mad:

Indeed, it is even if one had a steady hand, a hand drill is no match to the precision from that of a drill press. Wish I had my own CNC and engraving machine too, I've contacted a few local suppliers here to get quotes on engraving and milling work to be done on my b22 enclosures, suffice to say it is not cheap, price is about the same as a single b22 board with BOM parts from Glas Jar Audio at $100 a pop.
 
+1 on troubleshooting, a major headache of any diy process if you run into problems, but you learn a great deal about things once you rectify your mistakes.

It's been a long while!! I actually got my parts for quite some time... But the enclosure is putting me off for a long while... Haha hopefully I'm able to get some ideas here for my enclosure.
