So I Got My PL 700, Now What?

First off Richard, do you have a Digital Multi meter or analog meter of any kind??
 
I'd still like it if he described what he heard.. Hey... so what did it sound like last night? Lots of nasty distortion.. hum.. noise.. ? Ipod right to it?

Yeah meter would be good... gotta see about that offset and whatnot.

Yes, yes, and yes. I have a meter, but it's mostly for when my friends, who aren't complete idiots like me, come over to help me fix electrical stuff. I AM good at letting the magic smoke out, however...

I just tried it again, the volume knobs didn't seem to work, just horrible sound. Maybe a preamp will fix it(fingers crossed).

If a preamp doesnt Lee can. If you lived close Id let you try one of mine.
 
Thanks Ken. It was very well packed. I kept the box and packing anticipating the need to send it off for repair in the future; I will definitely want to put the correct faceplate and meters on there.

I'm looking forward to getting this old equipment I have up and running; I haven't pissed my neighbors off in a few years. Not since I drug home a 35 year old Harley with no mufflers. I just HAD to get it running, and we screwed with it until 3am before we did...neighbor didn't think it was nearly as cool as I did. It has mufflers now...

I used to hunt deer out in Tyler, a good family friend lived out there about 30 years ago. Long way off, about a six hour drive. I'm between Houston and Galveston. This is where the BP plant exploded in 2005 with 15 unfortunate deaths. I moved here to work out there on a project walking down every single line in the plant. I'm not there anymore, but the project is still going on...
 
Sounds like a PayPal claim to me. I am pretty sure if you wanted to keep the amp and asked for a partial refund (say $100) PayPal would side with you. These guys here can definitely get it up and running for you

Not really, refineries and petro/chem plants. I am actually a pipe designer, basically I draw pipes in 3d for the pipe fitters to build.

that works out better than letting the Windows 95 screensaver do it :sign1:
 
Well, let's let Lee and Co. sort through it too and then maybe fricassee the varmint what sold it.

They may not even realize all that...you take your chances buying/selling stuff Lee didn't get to first :)

No I use Auto CAD with a second party software cad CadWorx, which is specialized for petro chem plant design.

Actually I'm laid off at the moment looking for a gig.

You should try and find a way to learn SW or ProE which are the 2 most prominent 3D modeling solutions used in industry.

Most of the outside world we deal with uses one of these two CAD programs for 3D modeling - we've used ProE for well over a decade. That's a very powerful tool.

Richard - have you made any headway with your amp?
 
Actually ProE and SW are popular for manufacturing, CadWorx, Bentley, and PDMS are the big boys for piping. I found a used preamp from another member here, waiting for him to test it, so we'll see what happens. If I have to I'll have it refurbished, but I wanted to play with it first. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Heh.. now that I cleaned the crap out of the "hoarders cave" here, I'll try that pre out for you tonight. Should be in a few... :thumbright:
 
Jbeckva made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Thanks pal!!!! I'll let y'all know how it sounds when I get it all hooked up, fingers crossed...
