Welcome to our board Bill. Your last name is very uncommon.... my ex's last name is Berndt also. Might be a long lost relative. She is 50 now

What the heck is a underwater transformer you folks talking about? I must have missed that thread when I had my heart procedure last week

Welcome, great group here, keep us posted with pictures as you build the underwater amp.

There was a PL700B sold on ebay that was evidently standing on its transformer when the basement flooded. The water came halfway up the lower meter face by virtue of a rust stain across the meter lens, so we assume the transformer was completely underwater for an undetermined amount of time.

This thread was started by the buyer and we now have a new member in addition to a rescued PL700B.

Oh, and it seems your heart procedure was successful... Congratulations!

Bill,

If your interested in dimensional measurement (as it relates to your machining) as well as Phase Linear...........

Well let's just say I have 30+ years experience in both.

This deck was given to my friend Chad Stelly formerly of Acoustic Sounds. Stelly has given me a few beautiful tonearms.
