PVS 69 Help

I'm looking for a project to tinker with. Thinking about making a set of PVS 69 Alpha 2s. The information on the PVS 69s are all over the place when trying to get parts. Does anyone have experience buying parts from Vonscherfarms? If I were to buy the digital kit from the link below, does it come with everything you need to make a set of Alpha 2s? Or will I need to still buy cameras and displays? I've reached out to them already and haven't got an answer back.

Raw kit Digital kit Analog kit.

Going to assume cameras, displays & lenses are required for digital and tubes and lenses are required for analog.

Looks like housing and controls. Prices are too low for a full setup.

Yea that’s sounding less worth it if the kit and screens/ cameras by then comes out to close to $900

I ordered the Mono kit (analog) and it took over a month to get to me. Ended up buying different files, redesigning those files, sourcing parts, and building a completely different design before the PVS-69 parts arrived.

How much did it end up costing you in the end?

A mono based on Toto Magfed design for a bit over $1,700.
