Radio Shack doesn't carry any heatsinks even remotely close to big enough.  eBay is your best bet as far as I know.  This will give you a good idea of what you want: http://www.ssguitar.com/index.php?topic=175.0

javacody, if you could, just post when you get the kit in the mail, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks :-)

Found that one on eBay, good deal for it.  Anyone find any others or know where you can get them?  I've only really had luck getting heatsinks on eBay, but there has got to be another way.  Mail order catalog, somewhere else online?

Not a problem.  If Brian doesn't email me back today I'll try to catch him on aim and see when he can get me the rest of the stuff.

K.  I sent an email to Brian, so hopefully we can get the ball rolling and get the rest of these kits ready to ship out.

Not sure if radioshack would have them or not.  I would guess not.  As far as I know you could solder the transformer's secondary wires straight to it instead of using the connects.  I'd want someone to verify the safety of that first though.

Yeah...still waiting on parts.  I have one LM3886 kit that all it needs are the AC connect terminals and another that just needs those as well as a 10uF 50v cap.  If someone wants one of the incomplete kits, I can ship them out.  Not sure how long it will take Brian to get me stuff since he is normally pretty busy.

I'm not sure what the LM1875 kits need exactly because I ran out of diodes for those.  I may have some lying around from a shipment Brian gave me a while ago though.  I also don't have any LM1875 ICs, he forgot to put them in the box lol.  If anyone is interested, I can try to throw together a couple LM1875 kits and see whats missing.

Alright.  It looks like I'm only going to have two more LM3886 kits, so that means SecondandBowery and DreamSeller get LM3886 kits.  I should have at least 3-4 LM1875 kits though.  I know RDV wants at least one.  Anyone else?

Thanks for being part of the DIY amp community! 

btw, there are two things you should after you make the kit (this applies to anyone getting these freebie kits):

1.  Thank Brian - bb@darg.net

2.  Post your build report (with pics if possible) right here on SSGuitar.

In the mail. 

It was only $1.50 or so to mail it, but due to the cost of the packing envelopes as well as the time to sort out the kits, I will still charge $5 flat rate shipping.

^^ Haha!!! I'm right!

Whoops, got me there RDV.

And 2nd, thats fine.  As soon as the rest of the stuff comes in from Brian I will ship you out one.

Yup, you do and I will get one to you as soon as I can.  If you want I could set you up with the kit as is missing a few things and you could get the missing stuff off jameco.com for cheap.

Alright, I have one LM3886 kit ready to ship.  I should have enough for a few more LM3886 kits as well as a handful of LM1875 kits, but Brian forgot to send a few things to complete the kits so it will take a little while to work that out.

If I'm correct, Javacody, you asked for the LM3886 first.  So if you paypal me $5 to joseph.raymond@umit.maine.edu and give me your shipping address, I'll get it right out to you.

**Instructions for putting the kit together are available at chipamp.com**

The transformer is now listed in the swapmeet section: http://www.ssguitar.com/index.php?topic=170.0
