I built a 6G15 circuit last year - you can see some pics of the
chassis at my site: As
with all homebrew projects, be prepared to spend more money than you
would if you bought "the real thing" (well, at least the
reissue . . . )
I got my "kit" from STF Electronics; it included about 80% of the
stuff needed to build the tank. They offered the most complete kit
I saw for under $300 (cabinet not included). You can see them at: The
included "directions" (term used very loosely) were quite vague, and
were actually incorrect in a few areas - my experience with them was
not good.
If I were to do it again, I'd build a Hoffman turret board type
6G15. Check out Doug Hoffman's site:
Doug is a great guy, and he has a fantastic website - his pricing is
good, and his service is awesome! Plus, there's lots of great
information (including parts lists, etc.) on his site - he also has
some cool sound samples of him playing some surf tunes through his
amps - nice! His message board is also a great resource for
builders - I highly recommend going there (if you haven't figured
that out yet . . . )
Building your own reverb tank is a great project, and I highly
recommend it to anyone with some soldering skills (and patience!).
I learned a great deal building my tank - even though I fried a
power transformer in the process. The tank sounds *great* !
Feel free to contact me off-line if you want some more detail/war
stories, etc. Good luck - have fun!
