You are doing such nice work, I almost want to put a glass case around it...:cheers:

They look almost as big as a beer can...

Thanks fellas.

Man this is just great! I wish I was as smart as you fellas. I'm a decent fabricator in steel( I'm in the garage right now building a custom 2"x72" belt grinder/4 wheel bench grinder/disk sander, mostly out of scrap my buddies and I have laying around). I can fake it O. K. doing woodwork. But...

If we're going to do it, may as well do it right.

I think Lee's a bit busy, but I will be wanting someone to give this ol' girl a much deserved makeover. Who's listening?HELP! HELP!!! SOS!!!

There's no way I can dissect this thing myself, I'm a total dummy when it comes to simmple electricity, let alone electronics. I want someone who knows his shit to look at it and say it's bad before I hassle the seller. This thing is 30-40 years old, maybe the seller didn't mean to screw me. I...

So I hooked her up to a preamp. Thanks jbeckva! My amp still sounds like shit! I don't mean, snobby gotta have a Clearaudio Statement Turntable, pushing Magico Ultimates. I mean, my garage sale Technics pushing $200 Bose 901 sound fine, (not great) but this PL700 sounds terrible! Distorted as...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

That's what I figured, I have been looking off and on for a while on ebay, that's the best price I have seen. I have seen re-capping, White Oak mods, etc., I'm just a major dummy when it comes to electrical/electronic stuff, I always figured it was just magic. And I don't mind a little razzing...

You fellas are really the best. I've had a lot of beer and I'll continue this tomorrow. Sincerely, thanks a bunch, signing off.

Sorry, I'm just new and I think I just spent $300 on amp that might be junk. No offense to you guys, I know you are here to help and I do appreciate that. Thanks for all the advise and letting me vent. Maybe I can actually get this thing right?!?

O.K. Thanks guys. I just have a bad feeling I got stuck with a turd. I'll take some pics tomorrow. This is the ad I bought it from...
