Just hit 100 hours labor on this beast. One channel complete, Soft Start Board compete, Chassis painted, bulk caps installed, Power supply board rebuilt and installed, and the Trafo is installed...................... Damn...............
Just a couple more wires to install (Luckily they didn't use much wire as it's crappy wire) and this one is done. Yup, about 100(ish) hours and about a grand in parts.... Hell of an undertaking.
AND, as an added bonus, Skip turned me on to the matching Audio Video Standard Preamp/Processor
She's is Great Shape with just a few paint scuffs but it has an excellent face plate and it has a working remote, and the original box. It is not only a 7.1 surround processor but has a reportedly "Audiophile" Preamp Section in it. I should be getting all this set up for testing in the next week. Took a while to get her vacuumed out because of the forced fan cooling but we should be giving our toys a good vacuuming every other year or so.
even the remote weighs 5 lbs. Here is also a quick shot of the Legacy Audio Focus Speakers. Not the greatest pic but I may get more later. The speakers are coming in to the house system for testing here asap. I'm anxious to see how the WOPL spanks dat ass
