How To Easily Build Authentic Re-creations Of LA2A PULTEC...

Sorry for the long silence folks!

But FINALLY my next video & e-papers are ready and we can get started for real!!

In this video it's all about getting to know the legendary pieces of gear I already built from scratch (and want to show you how to build at some point in the future.
And I'll also explain one of these iconic pieces in detail - how it works and what it does...paving the way towards showing you how to build it in the next episode



I put a lot of work into it - please let me know how you like it - either right here or directly in the comment section of my page.

Thanks guys - your feedback helped me a lot so far!

I am new to DIY. I'm fearless and hopefully don't get electrocuted! That would suck!

Signed up finally. Great job.

Definitely going for a la2a when you have the new chassis ready.

Alrighty so nice to see some prices for the transformers and the chassis- I'm certainly intrigued. whats the total cost of BOM materials? Looking for a ballpark final all in figure too

Great to have you on board guys!!

For those who don't know yet - I finally released the last episode of this first "build your legend" series!
It's all about the last missing bits to finally get you started to build your own legendary Tube-Opto-Compressor!

In this episode I also share a very detailed bill of materials with links to every single component you'll need and where to get them.
There's even a Mouser shopping cart, so you can get 80% of the components with one click! Very straight forward!
The BOM includes only high quality components that are up to par with the original units - and depending on where you are located the complete build will cost from around $850-950 if using Sowter transformers up to over $1300 or $1400 if you go all vintage components, NOS tubes etc...

I'll continuously work on the BOM and keep you posted if you subscribed - I might add cheaper options in some spots - or at least outline what cheaper alternatives there are - even if they are not that HQ as what we have in the BOM right now. It might get the entry level price down to about $700.
Open for feedback guys



Beyond that - if you haven already noticed - I also started a group-buy for my 2nd revision Tube-Opto-Compressor chassis kit. We'll collect the orders and have them manufactured...but see for yourself:




Let me know how you like it - I put a lot of work into it (again )

P.S.: As mentioned in the video I preordered 50kits already which are already in stock and will ship directly - but they're going fast. The rest will have to be manufactured once the group buy closes.

P.P.S.: If you're already subscribed - you'll get the links to the videos and e-paper directly delivered to your mailbox 

Hi Martin, I looked at everything, your e-paper, the BOM, your videos, and I am amazed ! They look great, are so easy to follow, and are fun. I did not take the plunge for the LA-2A and might regret it, but right now money is not there. At first I was wondering if there was a catch in doing all this for free, but when I realized you have a thread on the white market on GroupDIY, I thought that it was a great way to promote your chassis ! I am eager to find out about the STA-Level. Keep it going !

Is there anyway of accessing the existing videos and epapers? I'm getting ready to start my build but I can't access the build guide.

or become a member in our fb group:
www.facebook.com/groups/1615927638648181/

I finally found it. I could really use that build guide. I am halfway through the build.

Cool, I'm waiting on my T4 and another tube. Maybe I can use it to check my work.

Yeah finally - all members of the group buy should have received their copy of the almost 60 pages fully pictured step by step guide on the tube opto comp.
What a ride - I shot almost 750 pics for it - of which roughly 400 made it into the guide...

Thanks for your patience gentlemen!!
