    Starting WOPL 400 Finally!

    Out here in the Pacific Northwest we have a number of slang terms not often heard elsewhere.. "Now we're loggin" - To make progress as planned "Pretty Scokum" - Just right, or a good solution "Middle of Humptulips" - middle of nowhere eg bumfuck idaho "I seen a horse" - I saw a horse...

    PL400 and PL3000 Got the Blues....

    I'm messing around with a PL400 that had the faceplate butchered by some one cutting slots into it. I bought some handles that cover the slots nicely. While I was at it, I applied a Cyan filter get to the meters to get a cool Marantz blue vibe. Since I was also replacing the LEDs in a PL3000...

    The lights made an interesting pattern on the wall behind the amp... BTW, they were tapped into the power cord inside the amp... My first fear was perhaps the 6V secondary on the transformer had gone bad. But nope, just bad bulbs. Perhaps this was a test prototype for one of Joes light boards? lol

    I've taken to calling these amps "Phase Gump". You never know what you will find inside one. I'm guessing the reason the previous owner didn't just change out the OEM bulbs is it must have been Christmas.

    I recapped my JBL L7's a month ago, the difference is sound was quite noticeable. The caps in your speakers are around 40 years old...

    Try searching ex president Donald and ex president Joe, apples to apples. Joe is the president, Donald is not. Thus Google search is not biased.

    Dis und dat... PL1100 and C6 PL400 470 capacitor.

    The PL1100 Equalizer I have didn't fully work. The knobs were so dirty, I could have used pliers to turn them. Some channels didn't work. I took the entire thing apart, recapped the boards, and cleaned the knobs and sliders. Hooked it back up and it sounds excellent. I also replaced the C6...

    Hoo boy.

    That certainly is a good question. I'll chalk it up to my insanity.

    Hoo boy.

    Yeah, it's connected. Every test I've run so far shows everything to be in proper spec. Just this issue of the DBT when speakers are connected.. Drives me nuts. I want to dial that before I install a WOPL setup. Kinda want to know if I have a backplane or PCB issue, or both LOL

    Hoo boy.

    I picked up a pretty nice PL400 and ran it through it's paces with a DBT and variac. It had a missing right supply fuse, I put one in. Everything tested fine. I was able to adjust the bias down from 450mv to 360mv, and the DC offset was close to nil. However when I hooked up speakers, the DBT...
