    Carver M1.0t (Inverting) upgrade

    Just cracked open Elmers Carver M1.0t to do an upgrade. I'll post some pics here shortly. Had to get the funk scrubbed out and get off the old corrosive glue which holds down the power supply caps. Should be fun. I completed his C-1 Pre this morning. The RCA upgrade from the standard...

    Mark's 4000t going through rework

    Got Marks 4000t onto the bench last week. Tried to take a base-line test but the pots were so funky and dried out, I couldn't get it to settle down. So, I dove right in. It's getting the usual upgrades AND, the Remote Volume I just LOVE installing.

    Rotel RX-600A service

    Just opened up the Rotel RX-600A (It's the PX Version from about 1973ish) to check out how the years have treated it. A customer wanted to get it back to how he remembers it (minus the psychedelics) and so she gets the treatment. All the pots are dry and funky, bulbs burned out etc...... I'll...

    700 Series II NOS Face Plates, Will trade for Black one

    Here's a chance to get pure unobtanium. I have 2 face plates available, and they are beautiful. Serious inquiries only. PM me THESE ARE NOT REPRODUCTIONS. I wheeled and dealed for 3 of these. They were ordered when when the previous owner bought his Phase Linear Series II amps back in the...

    ADC Sound Shaper Three MKII

    I just got my ADC un-boxed and since I have work showing up later this week (a PL1100, and a Nakamichi Dragon, and a PL4000 series II) I decided to tear into it while I have a few days. It has a dorked up handle so I ordered custom made handles (2 chrome and 2 black) for it. They are 105mm...

    Another Carver 4000t Pre in work

    Just got my Carver 4000t from Fedex and I stripped it down to bare chassis. I'll start recapping the boards, and I'm glad I got reminded that I needed some RC4136N's.... I'm down to just a couple left. I should probably send Mouser a note telling them that they got these listed as...

    Teac X-2000R Tape brands

    Looking at helping my customer with a few items for his Teac X-2000R deck I just sourced for him. Any recommendations for tape? I had excellent results with the RTM-900/RTM-911 tape with my other decks and just wondering if anybody has tried them on a X-2000R Ideas???

    Tall order, sounds like a pain

    Just got a request for 4 "Rack Mount" 700 II WOPL's with Silver face plates.... Damn, the Chassis' and face plates have the dimples in them so finding 4 will be near impossible (Although I just sold 2 of them a couple weeks ago). See Joe? We should have made the series II face plates (still...

    Jolly Green Giant 700B in work

    Since I finished the Roxanne III build, I got the hankering to build a 700B for myself. Every time I build a 700B, somebody buys it out from me and I'm out an amp. And it takes forever for an affordable one to show up. So I decided to make it ugly enough so nobody would buy it from me. It's just...

    Do we have a photography guru on site?

    Question for the smart guys, I have a nice Canon G10 that I have been carrying for 10 years and it takes great pictures EXCEPT of the Black WOPL's with red lighting. Actually, my phone camera does the same thing when trying to take a picture of the red LED's in the meters. Is there a...

    Safety Starts at Home

    I was doing some renovation in the shop this weekend and for my birthday, the wife bought me a new Through the wall Heater/AC unit (Kinda Like a hotel unit). The Commercial Cool I have, takes up valuable floor space but worked pretty good. Since I have 220VAC ran to the "Amp Shack" (split to...

    What the hell am I going to do with this?

    I bought a preamp last week and it came with a nice Carver M400A cube amp....... They are supposed to sound pretty good. I just about tripped over it, forgot I got it..... Time to put the PL4000 and Carver M400A up for sale.

    Variacs N Stuff

    Instead of clogging up and thread crapping (not that we don't love to do it) on the other guys, I thought I'd open a thread on the subject. I also found out where all the Variac's with amp/watt meters have gone or are going.... This guy has some expensive stuff but if you want an old school...

    Frankie Jr ??????? You need this Jer

    Takes guts to start drilling into the face but I wonder if the LED's flash (if there are LED's in the face). https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Phase-Linear-400-Amplifier-for-Repair-Some-Customization-Done-See-Desc/233395691515?hash=item3657779ffb:g:17wAAOSwGzNdxiMl

    Emitter Resistor Value Changes.

    I have a ton of .33 Ohm emitter resistors and I don't want to buy any more. What should I expect if I used them in an amp that currently has .05 Ohm emitter resistors? I tried to use my Navy Math but since I partied this weekend, my 2 brain cells are still arguing about it. I wouldn't think...
