This is probably a long shot, but has anyone considered trying to setup a group buy for API or Neve preamps?

I was thinking we could go in for some 3124's, API Lunchboxes with the cards, Seventh Circle Audio clones, or some Neve clones.

does anybody knows where I can get vintage Neve preamps (2 channel) - I think TL Audio does something but where can I find them?

Has anyone tried the Dan Alexander or the Brent Averill Neve design preamps (or others)?

I'm putting together a 1272 class A from the 183 circuit and the input and output transformers. Is there anyway to avoid building the gain switch? Would a 5k pot work instead, like the one on the output?
