Cool YOUR jets Mark, you and your buddies got the best possible RCA Jacks in the world all for $7.00. Keep telling yourself that. If they were, you'd think they would get at least $8.00 for them. Your gold plate is so soft, it will be long gone before the rhodium pig iron.

Oh, that was Rhoda

Wasn't that Mary Richards friend on Mary Tyler Moore?

Don't worry guys, I won't abandon a WOPL except when I build a Model 1 but I still need to flip some gear. I'll be building a Model 1 for me and one for my bro in Indiana

Actually Joe, it's a tube Preamp. I built one for my friend out in Indiana and after I tore it apart a couple times till I got the grounding scheme correct and it sounds really nice. So, after listening to it on a couple of his WOPL's (I built him about a dozen 700B/700 II/Claire Bros/ and Pro...

I have 1 set left that will go on my custom tube amp build I have been working on in my spare time (what little I have.....)

Here is what I used on my WOPL's but they are not always available. https://www.soniccraft.com/product_info.php/cardas-grfa-rca-p-1661?osCsid=56731af057c44f0d20c4fd39bc260cab

The guys doing the reviews for the Manley Jacks are fucking high. Those are NOT the best in the world, they are just cheap bastards. I actually have some in a bag but I won't use them on my shit.

I would not use a $1.00 RCA on a $3500 amp. That's how the fuckin Bean Counters ruin shit. Same reason I don't repair/restore the PL400's and 700's. They get FULLY WOPL'd or they get ran over with a 4WD. I don't like to worry every time I hit the power button after spending buttloads of time...

Yer right about that brother. The RCA's I put on the WOPL's are $30-$40 for a pair.

Cheap? I spent a lot on doing 2 C-1's and a C-4000 proto....... $60 for each preamp jack set, plus 2 days labor for the wiring of each unit....

When you have to get 13 white, and 13 red , it adds up quick. I have to charge an extra $100 to pay for the 26 jacks (over 60 with shipping from Mouser) and cutting and stripping/tinning about 100 wires to get them all installed but the results are great. I guess you don't need my measurement...

Hey Lee, I finished up the C2 and had to order the headphone volume pot. I fucked with it for several hours but it's worn out. I had 2 Carver C-4000's on the bench and had to move on but the pot will be here in 2 days and then it only takes a few minutes to swap it out. Of course, it didn't...

So you know what a GLG is but I DON'T know what a "Psalm Tree" is....... Do you get eternal life if you drink a coconut??? :)

So you do know what a GLG is.................
