Yeah, he bought the purple phase linear horde from Pueblo.

How long will it take for his prices to become more realistic, I wonder?

 

[laatsch55]

With free listings unless sold?? Quite awhile I'd imagine cause there is a fool born every minute...

 

[George S.]

My guess is he knows the asking prices are unrealistic and he's going after best offers. So he takes your best offer, then waits for other offers. As long as his books and cash flow look good he can prolong the wait. Then at some point he contacts those who made offers and starts negotiating, probably with no or little eBay involvement. Probably has a brick and mortar store.

Yeblers, it would take oil type of moola to buy any of that.

I threw him a low ball offer on the PL2000 Preamplifier, let's see how that turns out.

Anybody jump on the Tiger Woods rookie cards?

He counteroffered and the price is still ridiculous.

He will learn to love his collection I suppose...

I scored the first Pro 700 on today's auction. Been watching Treasure Hunters auctions every day, waiting for a Pro to come up.
Price of $610 was way more than I wanted to pay, but from the photos I saw it's full-comp with new correct output transistors and maybe new storage caps as they look clean. So some savings are there along with the free shipping. Yes the unit is scratched up but that's to be expected for a ex-commercial unit, patina, no issues.
If Treasure Hunter bought the entire Purple Phase Linear Hoard, then watch for another potential 15 units to appear. https://flic.kr/p/bgDMmp

If you look at rack #3, above what appears to be a Dynaco, there are two 700Bs. I think these are the two Darrel refers to back in Pueblo as the Santana 700Bs.

 

[George S.]

Treasure Hunter has another Pro 700 listed. Good luck to you all who want one. No more for me. I'm now set to tri-amp my system. A 700 for the subs, a 400 for the JBL woofers, and a 400 for the mids and tweets.

Listing is in Lancaster, PA. Is that still Clair Bro's home base?

I wonder what happened to the speakers?
Generally there was a bunch of these Clair Bros S4's hooked up.

Good question. If you look closely at the photo of the amp racks I posted, at the far right, there is a little boom box plugged into the wall. Here's a link to all the photos he posted.https://forums.phxaudiotape.com/members/purple-phase-linear-700.1239/
Click on "Media". Many large speakers.

The Pro 700 arrived yesterday, triple boxed and in good shape. Looks presentable, not too shabby. The chassis actually looks pretty good considering it was rack mounted. I'm actually quite happy with it's condition.

 

[George S.]

Appears the outputs were replaced in 2000 or 2010 by the date codes, need to do some more research, they're not the latest revision "G" outputs.
Haven't had a chance to open it up and look for a date on the storage caps, will try to do that this coming weekend.
Appears these are some of the amps that Pueblo owner "Darrel" said were upgraded by Ed Blackwood.

 

[mlucitt]

they're not the latest revision "G" outputs.

The "G" means they are certified Lead-free. MJ211995 and MJ2211995G are the same components, one is marked lead free to be in compliance with the new Pb rules.

 

[George S.]

Mark, nice!!! I like lead in my solder, paint, and gasoline! Happy to also have it in the outputs.
