Ok our epic thread has went silent. By the power of grayskull rise thread rise. God you know I'm bored when my brain actually thought back far enough to quote he-man lmfao.

Yes, I am part owner of Marlin Oil Co.,LLC. Started in 1996 with one old oil well we bought for 25,000. 12 BBLS oil a day. We now have over 100 and our gross production is 557 BBLS oil per day, 280 net. Tough for the first few years...

Joe, this is a pretty late model 700, we're down to one center tap wire in the secondaries...

Jase , we are going a little deeper into yours than I did with Tim's. He lives closer and his is going to get some more attention in the future. You on the other hand will probably be running this one pretty hard so your getting 22,000uf caps...a 35 amp BR, and some bigger wire....

What is the voltage rating for the 22,000 uF capacitors? Are they a drop in replacement? That could be one of the future group buys.

Something bigger than 16 AWG?

Another epic, entertaining thread by the team.
I love the way these develop. Give a man 107 VDC and he'll get happy fast!
Skynyrd, you're going to love this amplifier. I'm never parting with my WOPL 1000s.

Lee, how much time would you think I'll need to allocate for my next project, converting my WOPL 1000's to full complimentary?

20 hours of actual work time, but two weeks for documentation and thread drift.......YEAH....thread DRIFT....that's what it is....


Navo, I'm rethinking the 100volt/22,000 aspect. Yes on the #16, got #14 coming out of the secondaries on this one, but then that' s divided by 2.
