Just curious, what was the most you were going to spend on 2 700Bs…the impulse spender in me wanted to try and just keep bidding until I got all four

Nice! Yeah, I definitely wanted that 4000, but it went for more than I was going to pay, really just for the looks of a matching set. Was Stoked (pun intended) when I saw that gear on Stokes site, I watch a ton of their auctions and rarely find any deals like that! Are you keeping both of the...

Yeah, I’m pretty busy the next couple weeks so I won’t get to start messing with it yet…step one is definitely disassembly and deeeeep cleaning for all the pieces I won. I know I probably won’t make any quick money on these but hopefully they will be a good start in trouble shooting and repair...

Bwahahaha! Did you get the other 2. I thought I had the turntables as well but I guess I got outbid at the last seconds. When I found that gear I didn’t tell a soul, I was convinced it was going to go for a lot more.

I’m looking at the fx-888dx for a do everything soldering station, should I look at anything else in that price range? And will the 65w iron have enough power for all the WOPL work, or at least the output relay work? Thanks to all of you so far, so awesome having a site dedicated to these amps...

I’ll probably start off working very slowly so I think I can get away with a good single soldiering iron for now, if I have to take time changing tips that’s alright. If I ever start doing routine repair or restoration I will definitely end up with a couple! Those desoldering guns look amazing...

Ok that’s awesome to know, it’ll let me get started preventing latching up on the unit I plan to sell! Eventually I’m sure I’ll end up with a few different irons, but my harbor freight special isn't going to cut it for electronics work lol.

Haha…yeah. I find myself in this situation often with hobbies, at least I got an affordable start. I got both PL700b’s for $380, it’s no $25 goodwill find but it still seems surreal that I scored 4 high end vintage items for an awesome price!

Oh, I hadn’t looked at the WA stuff yet, thanks for the link!

Ok I will keep that in mind! Yeah I’m not very well versed on electronics at this point, but I can follow directions like solder here, remove this. It sounds like all the WO parts have very clear directions.

Awesome, good to know, would there be any soldiering iron that would work well enough that I could get away with one iron? I saw that some of the connections required high wattage to heat properly. I haven’t bought a decent iron yet, just been practicing with a crappy one and old PCB. Variac and...

Hi there, new to the forum and to Phase Linear, but I’ve been browsing and exploring a bit, this forum is an amazing wealth of knowledge, so thank you all for contributing. TLDR: I got a great deal on 2 PL700b and now I need to figure out what to do! So a couple days ago, an auction house I...
