Hello:
From Surrey, BC Canada. South of Vancouver, 3 hours north of Seattle by car.
I joined recently as my Phase Linear 400, purchased new in 1975, just cooked the Line fuse. Rectifier check coming.
I have looked into the White Oak upgrades. I will probably try to install the White Oak Capacitor upgrade, perhaps the Bus Bar kit, Bridge Snubber kit with Rectifier, if advisable, and the Watts Abundant speaker protection kit. I have not checked the speakers since the fuse blew.
Being an accountant this should be fun. Knowing which switch to use on my new digital multi-meter is an accomplishment in itself. However, I will get through it. I did build a Hafler pre-amp many years ago.
Having great plans to do the Control Board kit myself may be in my future. The Backplane Board kit is a different matter.
I have talked to Mike about having the Control Board and Backplane Board kits built for me. But, being in Canada (BC) I have to add 40% to any work done down south due to the state of the Canadian dollar. Yes, even Washington State is down South. And then, I would have to put it together. No Christmas music this year.
This will be a very SLOW process. Waiting for my Variac to arrive. At least I own a light bulb...
Cheers, Dave
