Gary.......let's think this over for a moment.......if you can get it to me, I'll get it back ....are you going to keep the amp or just fix it to sell it?
Just wanted to touch base. I sent the amp and the tracking report said it was delivered and left at your door. That was while you were away so was it still there when you got back?

Gary,

I believe that Lee is still fishing - sounds like they're having fun. I know that he has many packages delivered to his home and I'm sure there is someone on hand to tend to it so I wouldn't worry much.

Cool - what are you having done to your amp? The full Montey?

Not sure how full the Full Monty is but it is to be a WO conversion.

Thanks for the heads up on the delivery. Would have been a shame if it went AWOL.

And this is his hobby? When does he have time for income generation? :shock: If Lee gets a few of these delivered, he and/or his neighbours must be in pretty good shape. After the packing job I did, the shipping weight was just shy of 59 pounds.

Income generation happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's the wonderful thing
about oilwells, they don't care if it's the weekend or a holiday...

Seriously, a light board and choice of color?

I think a read somewhere in this forum about amber colored lights and that sounded cool.

The blue ones in your avatar look nice but are reminiscent of those Mac.... something or other.

BTW, how far into the boonies were you fishing? When I read Alcova it made me think Alcoa/Alcan = aluminum - that needs electricity - that means hydro power - that means northern mountains. I Googled Alcova and now see it's a lot closer to home for you than what I thought.

Tents or lodge and what were you catching?

And also BTW, thanks for the PM. My concern was alleviated within the forum by NavLinear and Kevin.

My 27 foot Jayco Eagle fifth wheel camp trailer, pulled by my company 1-1/2 ton Sterling truck...burns company diesel to. With a 52 gallon tank I don't buy diesel on the trip either.

seriously a light board and your choice of color. I'd recommend white as the have just enough blue hue to make em not white. As far as the amber go we'll have to talk Doug (fitz43) outta some spares if he has any left. They had the right amount of dispersion which is critical..

Wily Wyoming trout and lots of em...didn't land anything bigger than 4 lbs but had some hooke for awhile that made the ol heart thump REAL HARD, couldn't even slow down 2 of em..and I as running 8 pound tippets. Didn't have any breakoffs but when you're rinning #18 flies it's hard ro get a solid hook on the bigger fish so you have to run with enm up and down the river so you don't have a lot of heavy fly line creating a lot of drag as the fish pulls it through the water and sonmetime I can't get otta the river fast enough. Had one take me into my backing and halway through it before I could get my stick off my back and make 3 steps to shore....he was in the 15lb and plus range...

I'll defer to your judgement and be grateful.

Four pounds - nice pan size with the right pan.

When I had my PL400 done by Amplifier Surgery I chose Amber. When I got Laart's WOPL it had white. When I had my own 700B done, I bought the amber LEDS from Amplifier Surgery. I think the LEDS in the PL400 have better dispersion. They seem to flood the meter with light better. I don't have any spares and don't have a part number on what they are. The brand was supposed to be Cree 5mm is all I know. There is a seller on the Bay selling amber LEDS.

The Ampzilla has amber illumination of the meters. I believe it uses bulbs and some diffuser to get the color.

My personal preference in order is Amber, White and Blue.

Thanks for the info!

Lee recommended white too so I would have no problem with that.

Lee, you maybe saw the post from fitz43. He's out of amber but his 2nd choice is white. If that's easy, it'll work for me.

BTW, What did you think of my packing job? I was actually quite proud of it. It took a long time and I hope it was good enough to withstand 50 lbs or so of amplifier being bounced around.
