I agree, I'm just being grumpy. :-) After some of the stuff I've seen come
back to me that "must be something wrong with the kit" I really have to
wonder...

In all fairness, when I did the original ESB "bag-o-parts" kits 90% had no
problems at all. The remaining 10% however were enough of a hassle to make
me change my mind about selling unassembled stuff for a while.

There was an interesting "curve" on the ESB kit-- the people that jumped on
it at first were very capable technically. After that it descended to more
and more "consumer" level that needed a lot more hand-holding... I
actually started making a "video" installation guide for the Sega Multigame
(to post on the Web), but it's so stinking simple to put in I decided it
wasn't worth it.

I have this pet theory that as many monitors die in novice hands from the
results of a Zanen upgrade as are actually fixed, but it's only based on
anecdotal evidence... ;-)

Don't let me worry you about the LV2000 kit. I'm willing to bet you won't
have any problems with it from Vectorlist. I think selling it
pre-assembled to the Rest Of World is a smart move though.
