I recently rehoused my original Aleph J into the 5U chassis, thinking I would take it with me when I move but I cannot take as much as I once thought.
I built it in its orginal form some time back, using DIYaudio store kit parts, scrupulously matched transistors, oversized Antek transformer, original Toshiba JFETs, Russian PIO input caps, military silver plated wire, and a propensity for barrier strips for solid joints assembly and disassembly. However, the damn thing is HEAVY! Note the rear handle/guards and front rack handles for rolling it on its back before picking it up! I do not want to ship this across the country (I once thought I'd palletize it for my move ;-). If you want me to ship it to you at purchase consider it parts as I have had very bad luck with cross county shipping. I would gladly give it over to UPS for pack and ship, I've no idea though how (very) expensive that would be. My price reflects less than a parts cost and does not include shipping.
I live in Traverse City, Michigan, USA 49685.
I built it for keeps but now I cannot ;-(. $600
