    BIG METERS, What to do with them.

    I found these 2 new meters from an alignment machine, never been used and since my Family Room is gonna be retro style with old stereo stuff and pub table and chairs, I'd like to incorporate these meter somehow. I can paint the meter faces inside and i have LED's for lighting them. Any ideas...

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    I don't think the Crown is an ugly amp. If they are taken care of and maintained, they look better than the first gen 700 or the OVERATED Mac amps. Plus, they were tools and not really a pretty home amp.

    Phase Linear 4000 Resurrection

    I think you were seeing things. They don't put out 28V on the output and just fix itself. What kind of meter and scope do you have. I was contacted by a guy putting my reproduction Sansui amp boards into his 5000A and he said the Bias wouldn't adjust. I got him on the phone and walked him...

    Crown Macro Reference Monster amp rework.

    Yeah, I wouldn't trade off my WOPL's for one. I rebuilt that Crown and it sounded pretty good. I got it for free, spent a couple hundred rebuilding it and got $2500 for it. You can flip the switch and turn off the display so the lights don't split your wig..... SAE?? Wow, I haven't thought...

    2 NICE Pickering Carts with new retips on the D625 styli.

    I think they said the diamond will survive for about 1000 hours...... Sounds like they will outlast me............

    Phase Linear 4000 Resurrection

    Oh, on a side note, pro 700's, some 700 series II's and even a few 700B's had the 1/4" headphone/guitar jacks on the back. I don't have enough exposure to the early 700's to know if they did or not. Since there are 2 sets of RCA's on the back it's possible somebody has done it or maybe even the...

    High DC On the preamp RCA output connectors??? That would be amazing since the DC Power supply in the 4000 only makes about 12-15 and we've seen + and - VDC on the IC's at anywhere from 7-12 .The Peak Unlimiter has a couple 30-ish VDC in a couple places. What do you consider "High" DC? By...

    what are you listening to?

    Good Question, what am I listening to??? A construction site boom box............ I'm setting up my WOPL (but not the turntable) in the laundry room till I get the Family room squared away. If I am making dust, I'll either cover it till the coast is clear, or I'll pull it apart for a good...

    Better add a DCP to your parts list and outputs. We know what happens with 50 year old outputs.

    Phase Linear 4000 Resurrection

    You would want to open it up and start your own list as many times the book don't match what's actually in the unit. Somebody will chime in on the parts for the amp. It will need more than caps. Gene (gene french ) or Mark (mlucitt) have dealt with the guts of the early 700. If you don't get...

    I too had Authority issues. My first hitch I managed to get myself "Awarded" Correctional Custody for a short time. That's another story. Me and the Army didn't get along so I got out, joined the Navy, and grew up a bit. I managed to turn myself around and had a very rewarding career.

    The 50Lb amp is no problem, it's the 300Lb generator that hurts :)
