700 Series II Conversion

Nice looking unit, Fred! Nice that it sounds at least as good as it looks.

Damn this is a fine sounding amp Joe!

I am glad you like what you hear Fred. I am enjoying it as well. Thank you for the care you put into the assembly, you made it go smoothly.

Fred - the aluminum knobs you used look great. Can you please provide the source? I'm looking to chrome the faceplate of my 700B and the knobs.

You bet.

For the Series II I used these:

For the later 700B amps that have plastic knobs I use these:

Also solves the half shaft problem with the plastic knobs. They are 6 mm so need to be drilled out to 1/4 inch.

Another option for the faceplate is to polish one side of it to a mirror finish, RainDog911. I agree that the new knobs looks great and may need to get some myself.

Antique electronics carries a lot of knobs, bought some myself from there....
