@Hexis22 - It looks like it is the WOPL 400 SII you did for me. 'Twas a noteworthy FrankenAmp it seems. Thank you for the great resto-mod. I guess that it's previous surgeons wouldn't recognize it now. I'd already have the new walnut cabinet, but for the fact that David's wife had to go to...

Let the rabbits wear glasses!

This is where I stopped reading the thread last time because I had to go listen to Fear Inoculum. I had no idea that Tool had wandered off down this rabbit trail. Very cool sound. I have since decided to acquire a White Oak Model One and made my initial investment with Eric. This afternoon...

Thank you to Eric for an excellent job on my WOPL 400 S2 amplifier. I chose to install billet knobs on the bypassed front panel attenuators. I chose the switchable meter sensitivity and bar meter display rather than traveling dot. There's a guy in Texas building a walnut cabinet for it now...

I recently purchased a working Teac 4 track for $750. Picked it up in person 5 hrs away. The guy had 4 unadvertised McIntosh components that I grabbed as well. My research in the market over the last 7 or 8 months revealed to me that non-op R2R decks are going for sub-400 and working units...

. . Well, Eric and I added a few more miles to its odometer these last two months. I'd say it dun reel good. I may get one myself cause otherwise I'm fittna wear a rut in the grass between mine and Eric's place. (With @Hexis22's approval, of course )

Either that or some SEALS got him out of a tight spot.

Don't call me "SIR." I know who my parents are!

Lee, if that case is sitting empty, I'll pay you to ship it to me empty so that I can ship my 400 to Eric.

I'd appreciate an opportunity to take you up on that. My PL400S2 needs a frame-up resto-mod. White Oak sounds like just the ticket. However, it looks like you're right in the middle of a Model One build for Lee.
