    700B submerged in 6” of water....hmmmmm...

    Most wire direct and bypass this rather useless switch...(like in the PL400 you just completed). Some mount the switch for decoration purposes but do not wire to it.

    It is a balanced input conversion board Federico. If you got this donor amp from Lee, it is probably part of the Aerosmith amp tranche that I helped Lee get from Terry Hanley Audio warehouse up in Lawrence MA years back. Most all of the Aerosmith amps had been converted to phone jack inputs...

    NAD 5120 Turntable Refurbish
