A Shot in The Dark

It’s kinda like that dive bar. Scary as hell entering the first time, then you want to move in…

Who cares the paint’s peeling. The beer’s cold and the stories are good.

“Carl! Another round!”
 
In two months I will have been over here 8 years. That should count as an "Old Timer" right Lee? lol.
 
Faceplate = $115
Meters = 2x $60 = $120
Meter Board Kit (pair) = $45
Meter Sub Panel Bracket (pair) = $20.70

Total = $300.70

In addition, you will need:
Main Power Switch = $24.72
Level Potentiometers = 2x $3.87 = $7.74
Sensitivity Switch = $4.26
Don Imlay's triac switch = $ Market Price

This investment will get you a really sexy new faceplate design for your old PL400
Hey Joe, I was planning to do this eventually, Now seems like a good time. :D When you have the time, Could you Please send me an invoice on the parts needed for this swap.. Also, Please add me a replacement IC1 for the meter board...

At this time, I am in the process of quoting the machining on this faceplate. I should have that in several days time and can solidify pricing and lead time.
 
Any chance of making a plane jane 700 series faceplate? In black. Well, I guess I should edit for clarity. A plain solid face plate in black with nothing on it but the two power/meter holes and your PL logo? For an amp with WOPL parts and no meters.

And LED-fed plastic bar below the logo, which glows with the softness of a prom queen's thighs, is the only detail I might consider adding.

Even the absence of a power switch aperture is appreciated. Always on; always ready to rock.
 
Oh, I like the clean look....
My friend Henry is a meter man. Bigger the better. Hell I think he bought my McIntosh MC 2205 just because of the big meters. I guess I am just ass backwards. I want clean, solid black.. I think that faceplate is just the cats meow! Do you have them in black Joe?
