P-clamp was used during soldering of the transistor. Shortly after that pic, it was slid back on and the old hardware was used to secure it until ready for the chassis. Super glue is a good option.

Slow progress this week due to work stuff. Backplanes ready for wiring and some chassis work. Hope to start control board tomorrow.

Jeff Beck I just hit play and let it roll with what ever came up.

Yes it is. All of there media has some kind of cool/funky stuff with it.

Yes sir, one of my fav's! Have yet to pickup a copy of Fear Inoculum (have others on CD) but it gets heavy rotation on Spotify.

Welcome! Take a look at these - https://www.sci-bay.com/product/staco-model-3pn1210-0-120-vac-12-a/ No affiliation - I bought mine from them, back when I was looking. The unit I received is better than the pictures they have posted for some.

Shadows are playing tricks in the picture. I double checked those under magnification and had my daughters check (better eyes) after explaining the end goal to them. Thank again!

Appreciate it! Maybe this pic will be better.

Thanks! The solder pad is covered and there is a slight roll (concave) up to the top of the PEM nut.

Update - not much progress since dogs were occupying garage due to weather. Ordered misc. parts and cleaned up both ends of transformer. Started backplane work today. Review from the pros - does this look good?

Welcome Roland! Full kit is the best way to go

Joe/Nando - Thanks! mlucitt - great history lesson on PL. I have read bits and pieces of that in my research of Phase Linear.

Yes, this unit did not have that nasty crap. As of now, the unit has been blown apart and the xfmr, p-straps are set aside. The heatsinks have been prepped and sit on the bench with the WO chassis. I have not melted any solder in a looooog time, so I thought I would start with the WO LED...

Appreciate it! Nav - she sure is lovely! I may have to name my current build Viv.

Was listening to ELP > Brain Salad Surgery until my daughters walked and made a request, now we are listening to Monte Montgomery > 1st and Repair

It is a clean sample. As far as I know, I am the second owner of this 400 S2, 2000 S2 pre, 5100 S2 tuner and 7000 S2 tape deck (have the original sales receipt from when my uncle purchased the gear). All of it was mounted in a rack and unfortunately, all handles are missing. Add'l pics of backside;

Rye, Hexis, Marco, Pulp and Jim - appreciate the warm welcome. I have a big box of goodies from Joe and a thread has been started in WOPL Building.

Here goes my adventure into the WOPL world. This is my 400 S2 that I have had for 20+ years and pulled it out of storage to get it singing again. It elected itself as the first convert since I could not get the right channel bias down where it needed to be. Initial look;

Thank you Bob, I am just outside San Antonio. Llano is a nice area. Ft Davis/Big Bend - been out that direction many times (grandparents had property in Terlingua Ranch).
