Clair Bros piece of history on eBay

Have not decided what to do with them Ron. I know I will keep 4-6 for personal builds but the rest?????? I'd like to do some builds but I don't know if there will be any interest. CLAIR WOPL'S???? Cool in my book. Sabbath and others used these.
 
These must be the ones from Honolulu? Man - that is an ass ton of nice amps. When you get them it will be interesting to see some nudes. Oh yeah - a few photos of the amps would be nice too.

No kidding - way cool. I like the looks of the Series II amps and from the photos the amps in the racks look they've been taken care of. I have a 400 Series II and it looks good adjacent to one of the early 400's. You're going to be quite busy.
 
Yeah I'm psyched..... I have a couple builds going on right now for a customer so these will go on the back burner.
 
Do they all have to come from Hawaii?? That's a bunch of amps man...
 
Yeah, all from Hawaii, I had to go that far for units because there aren't many around. None on eBay, too expensive on CL....
 
I had a shot at those a year ago, I thought at the time they were a bit pricey. Glad you wound up with em...
 
They were a little pricey but what can ya do? I have no doubt I'll get what I paid back out of them. Hell, we can't get meters for the 700b's so I'll go Cylon. Same amp, same WOPL, Just no snazzy meters. I don't sit and stare at it anyway.
 
Lee, I'm shopping for a signal generator and I was looking for a WaveTek, any suggestion without killing the wallet? I'd be using it for troubleshooting or spacing out an amp.

That would be SPEC'ING

Joe's your man for that question, or Navo, or Jer.. The only two I have ever owned are an Eico 377 and the AP....

I like the older WaveTek stuff. We had it in the navy.... fairly bulletproof. The old ones with the dials (134, 143, etc...)
 
I think my old tube type Eico is almost as old as I am...

I have a half rack 2U HP function generator (or three) and a full rack 3U one (or three) if you have any interest in them. The specs are good on these guys and I'll dig them out. Maybe barter material - could work out well for both sides. Shoot me a PM if interested. These guys are rock solid and have a user friendly front end interface.
