Hey a year or so ago I bought TWO of the Softrock Ensemble II receiver kits from Ben Cherry AD8AW for $79 each.? I've long been a Softrock fan myself and wanted to prove to myself that I could still build them (severe Arthritis in my hands).? While they were intended to be the HF version Ben included extra parts so I could build the LF version (LF my primary interest).? Well, I noticed that the larger Toroids for LF weren't in the kits so I ordered them from Amazon along with spools of the proper sized wire.??? I have no cases for them.? So you can build them for either LF or HF. Anyway, to make a long story short, My hands have gotten worse and they're? just not going to get built.? IF you would like to buy them I will sell them to you, complete with the extra parts AND a brand new Soundblaster X4 Soundcard (the high performance one) that I paid about 130 for, still new in the box. Yes I opened the box and looked at it. . .?? See soundcard here . . . Also I've printed up the instruction manuals for both the LF and HF versions of the receiver.? IF I can fit it in the box I ship everything in I'll include those manuals. Let you have everything, INCLUDING PRIORITY POSTAL SHIPPING for a $135 postal money order.?
