Ok, it's not quite fully built yet, but the car needs new pads and discs, so this is for sale.
Should be finished next week and is absolutely brand new, not even tested yet 😀
No valves included.
I will also fit a pair of my personal stock multifet boards (Best sounding Jfets) to sweeten the deal.
Price reflects the lack of valves
£325 including postage.
I'll post a picture when its finished, but we've all seen them before 🤣
I'll give it until the weekend and then I'll start advertising everywhere!

GLWS Oli! I started my journey with a fully built BB3 PCB. Oli's attention to detail and build quality is second to none. I built the BB3 with some advice from Oli and even though I had no build experience, it is a pretty straightforward and rewarding build!
This is a great little project for someone!

Hi Oli,
What would expect the additional cost of parts to build this up with case, PSU etc. Appreciate that valve prices will have a wide price variation. I’ve been looking to the WAD Phono and PSU kits, but maybe this is a more interesting alternative.
Thanks,
Tom

Casework, wiring, sockets and transformer are all that's let's to purchase, and most of the cost comes in the metal work. I like to build them to their full potential, so that's where the added cost comes in, but I reckon £500 all in is doable for a working phonostage, if you don't mind a really basic chassis of AliExpress. |

Hi Tom
I also have a set of the best valves I need to sell that you add to the build

Sent you a PM Oli.
Pete, thanks for the offer. I’m sure ‘best’ may be considered subjective. What are the valves you have?

Sent you a PM Oli. Pete, thanks for the offer. I’m sure ‘best’ may be considered subjective. What are the valves you have? There is a thread on here, 'Bigbottle 3 Valve Rolling Malarky' where we have all compared valves in different positions. Thoughts on valves do tend towards so common favourites. I have Telefunken ECC83 to go in V2. I bought it with better than data that tested as good as new and well balanced sides. I have probably put 50 hrs on it. For V1 and V3 I have a pair of unused NOS Siemens PCC 88. I also have a NOS PC189 Telefunken which some have used to good effect in V3, I think |

Thanks Pete. I think messing about with the valve complement for myself will be part of the fun, but I’ll need to build it 1st!

Ok, I have three PCBs left, and that will be it from this current batch of PCBs.
Any interest?
