I have the first 20 kits.
I had a couple of friends build up the kits and
they confirmed to me that they worked when they built them and the 2 i have built work fine,
so i'm going with that saying.. They're good to go!
You can purchase the kit through my website here:

The kit will include all the parts needed to complete the PCB and panel mounted parts including
power jack, power switch, power LED and Midi Jacks w/ hardware.
*note* Kit does not include an enclosure or power supply. this project will run off a 9-12Vdc wall wart rated at 300mA or higher.
A PDF of the instructions has been created and will be available shortly.
It is a very simple build (as you can see above)
On a scale of 1-5. 1 being novice, 5 being expert..
I'd put the difficulty of this kit at a 2-3
Once you get 1 midi jack wired correctly the rest are just the same! .
Price for US buyers will be $55 shipped. Price outside the US is un known at the moment, But
i suspect it wont be too much more than $65USD.
For more pictures of the misc. builds of it so far... please visit the following link:

Simple buss powered midi thru boxes can be unreliable and still cost around $50-100.
Active midi thru boxes that are 1x8 or more cost easily $150+.
Save yourself some money and multiply your Midi output by 11 in style!
These are active/buffered outputs!
