I think the components are tested before they are sent. They provide you the PCB and the components and you just solder them.

Yeah, I bought mine of a friend thou - but he never touched it - all the components are there, just gotta solder them togheter. Which is really easy even for a novice since all the things are labeled from 1 up to around (1000) or something like that and you get two papers with instructions + pictures if it gets tricky which it never did..

A soldering iron of course and basic multimeter is a must have (oscilloscope would be ideal).

I got a soldering iron, but not a oscilloscope or anything like that - i'd just put the parts togheter -> tested it, it worked perfect.. after awhile the filter acted up really strange, so i made some minor modifications too it but unfortantly i forgot that i used both a schematics from the internet + one of my own mods to it with the wrong voltage which ended with the thing smelt like burning electronics - and now it's just laying there because i am too lazy to dis-asseble it again and check what the fault is.
Anyways, great synthesizer - really fat basses and lead type of sounds (and funny effects when you patch it up like i use'd to do).
