    Here's the bill of materials, which notes which parts are rare (mainly a few transistors.)

  4. By the way, the only way you'd need to source your own parts is if you a) elect not to buy the entire kit b) break something c) are a purist who has to have an original BA662A VCA (basically requires sacrificing a piece of vintage roland gear).

    Otherwise for $330 you get all the parts you need.
