A Shot in The Dark

[mlucitt]

I know we all get tired of reading these type of posts, but...

Having checked all the usual sources, eBay, Craigslist, Audio Mart, Reverb, Audiokarma, etc. I have had no luck finding a pair of PL400 VU Meters.
If anyone has a pair (of meters) I need them for a customer's PL400. They can be rough or dirty, I don't care. I will clean them and try to restore them if they have a bent pointer, etc.

I used to have a spare pair, and I gave them to another technician, thinking I would not need them.

Thanks,
Mark

How much is your customer willing to spend? Are they willing to be the trailblazer for the new White Oak Audio 400 front panel with White Oak Audio meters?

Sure I'll bite. Maybe Joe will give me an allowance for a review here after the installation of the new Meters and Faceplate?
Unfortunately, my customer is not a wealthy man, more of a senior on a fixed income kind of guy. (He had two bolts holding a scratched Faceplate on his PL400).

I still don't see the Faceplate or the Meters on Joe's website...

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

Time to upgrade " The Pig"

OK,
Send me the invoice, I have the additional parts already so it will not be too painful. I will let the customer pay me in three monthly installments, no interest.
I will do the unboxing and installation pictures.

Thank you for the offer (a good one). But I have bitten off a bigger piece and told Joe that I will be his Guinea Pig for the initial test of the WOA PL400 Meter/Faceplate Upgrade. He is working on the fabrication part right now and I may see the parts arrive before the end of the year. This is fine because my customer is not in a hurry.
I will keep the Forum informed.
