I want to publicly extend my biggest thanks to Wayne. He was generous enough to offer up for sale his Seduction kit to me here last week so I can move on to making some noise with the table. Soon as I decide what I want to do with the top plate I can start going. Someone suggested going to NAPA or someplace and getting a can of auto touchup spraypaint/primer/clearcoat. Lots of color selections and relatively inexpensive. I can't afford to have it anodized, chromed, or professionally painted.

Anyway---THANKS WAYNE!!!!

Well, the kit had the C4S and PT-1 trafo, so it had everything and I didn't pay more than I would've to order one from Bottlehead.

So I got a good deal as I didn't have to wait 6-8 weeks for one.

No, he made me an excellent deal which I will keep in confidence between Wayne and myself. Wayne has always treated me very fairly and honestly which has earned my respect.

Oh I see sorry for the confusion; your post said you didn't pay more than you would have if you ordered it from Bottlehead so it sounded like you paid the full price. The price is usually listed when someone sells something so i assumed it wasn't a problem to name it.
BTW is it assembled?

No, it is not assembled. Everything was still factory packed in the unopened box from Bottlehead.

Let's me work on my p2p with a known entity before I tackle a scratch build which is good.

Well I assembled mine pretty quickly. I also did the Anticipation and the C4s and I am no technition. You just follow the instruction work slowly and double check every move with the photos. That should work fine as mine fired up on the first shot and never failed. It is a very good sounding pre-amp and unless you are shooting for the sky in terms of quality; 3/4k$ units won't disgrace the Seduction.
One thing; is Bottlehead going to honor the warranty if you buy second hand?

No, BH will not honor the warranty since I was not the original purchaser as well as their warranty only goes 90 days now I believe. There is so much support on the BH forum though, that I can't imagine not being able to figure out a problem.

I'm looking forward to starting on it after I get back from Sturgis, but I really need to decide what I'm going to do with the top plate (if anything) and get it painted before I go so it has time to cure. Like I said, someone mentioned getting auto touchup spray paint as a cheaper, tough finish. Your thoughts?

The Auto touch-up paint is what I used. I sprayed it after a thorough cleaning with alchohol and a chamois cloth. First I primed it then did three coats of the touch up paint in a nice beige color that matches the ashwood case really nicely. The paint has held up well three yrs so far. Other than that I did the tweaks on the Bottlehead site and it just plays along with any problems so far. In a nod to Wayne it does have a slight noticeable hum; although when I sit twelve feet back I can'tr hear it at my listening level.
I would build it soon in case there is a problem. You never know if a trans might be bad; it happens. And the boards can have a problem although it is very rare.
