I've seen a couple of this guy's boards for sale, I think a couple members have vouched for/bought from him. 

Wonderful work, I can't wait to see the completed projects.

I have a small army of SSK's - worked for a recycler and got paid in keyboards and classic machines. :P

Beautiful!  I keep hoping a SSK come in that I can get my hands on (e-cycler as well) but no joy yet.

Ha! Those are awesome. I'd love to see a video with your citric acid bath in action. In my head, I see a mad scientist keyboard lab :D
