Beware of Plastic BM800's

[billkaroly]

I ordered two cheap $9 BM800 bodies from AliExpress and they are all plastic. The saddle is molded in the frame. I'm donating them to a local thrift store.

These others are pretty good though.

Thanks for the warning and the link

Do they have the transistor on the PCB, or an unpopulated spot there because it's in the capsule housing?

(That won't matter to people who intend to replace the board, but it will to people who want to do the standard board mods.)
