Nice looking board, Jan. Doesn't seem too heavy with SMD, or are they just too small to see?
I think it's about 50-50 SMD and through-hole. Of course the latter are huge!
The front panel control & display PCB is all through-hole.

Dear friends,
Finally we're getting there! This week will be busy as I am receiving the last PCBs and will have do do a lot of packing etc.
I expect to ship next week.
I also arranged for someone here in Netherlands to assemble and calibrate units if anyone wants that. I will have the cost for that later after he assembles the first test case and I go with him through the cal procedure. This will be strictly between you and him without any (financial) involvement from me; I will just mail your unit to him and he takes it from there. I will give tech support of course when necessary.
So now it is time for you to send me your details, and I can send you the payment details.
The list below are the members that have signed up, and I need you to send me:
Your name
Shipping address including phone number
email address (but I will have that anyway if you mail me)
Please email the info to me jandidden01 at gmail dot com .
I have another list I got through PM and if you are one of those you will get a direct email from me. Between the two lists pretty much all units are spoken for, just a few left.
So, let's get this show on the road!

Finally!
After spending a few days programming the controllers and packing the units, they are ready to be shipped from Germany starting next Monday.
So now for the gory details:
I can provide the 'half kit' as described on the website from me.
But, as some have asked for, you can also get a complete build, tested and calibrated unit from Ward Maas at Pilgham Audio at wma@pilghamaudio.com
Ward was at my place a few days ago and has picked up half a dozen units so he too is ready to go.
Pricing: when you get the half kit please pay (the equivalent of) € 208 + shipping.
Shipping: Germany: € 7; European Union: € 17,90; Europe outside EU and Rest of the World: € 19,90.
If you want a completely build, tested and calibrated unit, you have to get the half-kit from me but you won't pay shipping. I will forward your kit to Pilgham, and they will charge shipping at cost later.
Assembly, testing and calibration will be € 224 which you will need to pay to Pilgham but this includes all parts on the User BOM.
If you have expressed interest, you should have received an email with substantially the same content, with payment details and with the complete data package with BOM, layouts, test- and calibration guide, user guide etc attached, but you can also download it at The L|A Autoranger | Linear Audio NL.
Thanks for your patience and helpful comments - these things always take more time than you think, but it turned out a nice unit and I am sure you'll appreciate it!

Thanks Jan!
I've added the codes from BOM to Mouser to see what is the cost of the parts (3mm leds missing for now as I did not have time to find suitable.. but thats max few $ extra).
Comes aout to be approx 145USD + shipping. So a pause for thought needed if it maybe does make sense to go for ready kit instead.

My Mouser account says € 112 incl shipping, so about half of the 'build' extra. Doesn't Mouser ship free above € 60 or so?
And of course, there is an error in the BOM. For the combined balanced input TRS/XLR connector J7 the BOM lists Mouser partnum 568-NCJ6FA-H which has the locking lever on the front. But that does not fit the box. You can take the lever off but then you can't remove the connector anymore...
The correct one is 568-NCJ6FA-H-0 without the locking level but with an internal clamping mechanism.
I will send out a corrected BOM shortly. Apologies.
