This is a DIY kit and requires assembly. You should have at least basic to middling soldering skills and of course soldering tools. Please read through the construction guide so you are aware of what is required before purchasing. I do not recommend this as a first soldering project.

The main components are fully tested but due to the nature of the kit I cannot fully guarantee it. There is a lot of possible user error!
