FWIW Julian Hirsch's reviews at Stereo Review tended to focus heavily on measured performance. See also:

I don't know whether the 130 was available as a kit. A tuner is one component where I really would strongly prefer a factory unit due to the test gear needed to optimize performance. After all these years they should be very affordable.

Thanks for the links! I just got home with it and will clean it up and post pics. I don't think think it's from a kit given that kits were kind of old school by the time this unit was introduced.
The best part though happened earlier today when the same co-worker stopped by and said he had some speakers to give me as well but I had to come over to his house and pick them up.
Just walked into the house with a very nice pair of Rectilinear III's
Wasnt Hafler the same guy that designed the Apt Holman pre amp?
I believe the SE-130 was a bit later than the DH 330, and they may be similar, but probably not a kit.
He was a lot of things (most important IMHO for founding Dynaco ), but not Tomlinson Holman (THX APT and Advent 300 phono designer.)

I think that was Tomlinson Holman.
Thanks, I have a Apt Holman and its the best pre amp I've ever owned!
