700B WOPL Audition List

[Northwinds]

The last one 2 days ago went for 449.00 I thought that was a deal...

Dropping $450 for an amp that is basically going to be gutted is not something most people can afford to do when your looking at a rebuild with a price tag of $700-1000. I wish I had the money to throw around like that

I need to get this C1 preamp recapped and BillD modded, wish I could afford to do it, especially with Blackie so close to coming home. My other preamp only has a single preamp out section so unless I figure out something pretty quick, one of the amps is going to be a dust collector and that will seriously bum me out

One of these days maybe one will fall in our laps Ron !! I can't really swing. 500$ plus a 1000$ upgrade either. But one of these days it will work. And if it don't that's ok. We both have 400's atleast.

Bertha is her name . She's big and ugly but damn is she sweet on the inside!!!!

Nice!!! Bertha works and when she gets a new faceplate, she will be the best looking Bertha around! PM Skratch and see what his timeline is on the 400 faceplates. Do you have a few short bolts with nuts to tighten up that faceplate? Only one holding it on is not a good thing, you need at least one other for the other side

As Lee would say... AMEN Brother

 

[Skynyrd77]

Yep today I'll get to spend more time with her. I'll get a couple bolts rounded up. I still got to check fuses. Get the 700 crated up!and maybe put up my jolida on ak. Not sure yet!

 

[Skynyrd77]

I thought I just blew up my speakers lol. It drooped out all except mids and they sounded blown as hell! I was like wtf. Shut it down and rebooked up to the 700 and everthing was fine. Then I checked the fuses and yes I blew 1 of the 5 amp buss fuses

 

[Northwinds]

Told ya so LMAO, this is why I said get the fuses before Bertha got there. Those amps don't like anything less the a 8 amp fastblo. You technically can get away with a AGC 8amp fastblo until you can get hold of some AGX's. You can always run over to your local Rat Shack and get a bag of 8's

You should see the pile of 5amp blown ones I have accumulated before Jer told me to run 8s, have not blown one since

 

[Skynyrd77]

radio shack here i come lol

radio shack here i come lol

If I were you call ahead and see if they have them in stock. Getting 8s and 10s is a PITA because they are very popular and usually are sold out

 

[Skynyrd77]

I will find some somewhere lol. Would autozone have them or a napa ??

No, I tried that already

What do you mean a single pre out section??

 

[laatsch55]

lowes, Home Depot, any electric retailer(indusrial) will have fuses. As Ron has said even Home Depot has been out at times. What outputs does it have Jase?

The Carver CT-24 I am currently using only has one set of L/R preamp outputs for one amp. The C1 has a few

 

[laatsch55]

Run a Y rca...

 

[Northwinds]

I would rather trade both the Carver's toward a SPEC 1, I would like to have my system look somewhat matching

 

[Skynyrd77]

Back up and running

 

[Northwinds]

Well get your fan and get cranking
