Another WOPL 700B buld

[laatsch55]

Mains fuses are ten, power switches were rated at 3 amps.....should do fine....

Yer gonna put a 5 cent Chinese switch in a $2000 WOPL? Go with the American made one's JOE showed. I'd get a hold of a rep and talk to him. There ain't no way I'd put that Chinese shit in one of my amps. Just saying, you get what you pay for and those are some cheap friggin switches.

I wondered about that also

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I'll spend the extra $18 and not have to worry.

You are absolutely right, in another thread on this same amp I searched high and low for quality input pots, I ordered some and refused to put them into the amp until I was happy with the quality. I am not one to settle.

I will call Senasys and make sure the mounting space is correct and order a pair. I will report back on my results.

I have over $1.100 into this amp right now and I am not done yet. I am guessing this build (including the purchase of the amp) is going to cost me $1,300.

That's pretty close to the numbers I get...

Ok I ordered two Thermostats from SenaSys I ended up with the 430 series, 170 degree cutoff, 45 degree terminal offset (same as factory), rated at 15 amps, and will fit the original mounting holes.

US made and in stock

The originals are 90 (straight up)

I had to scan and save as a JPEG. the part number will be 430-301A285-540

Coolness, let's get that part number in the parts archive....

post deleted, wrong info

previous post deleted, it was all wrong info.

Lightning fast shipping from Senasys, got the thermostats today, the post above was correct, about the 90 degrees being the angle of the terminals, however the thermostat does not fit the mounting holes, looks like it could be drilled for the correct spacing.

thought package 301 was a standard size, guess not.

You need to order the ones with the 0.938 spacing, the mini ones.

Those are the 430 series surface mount, NOT the large surface mount.

90 degree lead bend makes the terminal stand straight up which is what you want.

Do you have a link, or maybe you have some? I need to order an LED board for the 700B anyway.

I will either reuse the old thermostats or find new ones.

OK, this is were I need help, I have the boards built, transformer mounted to the new chassis, now what?

mount the backplane boards then??

AC wiring?

AC socket: Neutral to outlet, then transformer up over the top of the chassis

AC Socket: Hot to fuse, switch, outlet, thermostats (x2), then transformer.

Then DC wiring??

 

[laatsch55]

Backplanes in next, then the rest of the wiring. Get the rest of the mechanicals in now, speaker posts, RCA jacks, etc. Thermoswitches after the backplanes are in...

 

[Billboard]

Backplanes in, mechanicals installed.

Is there any mechanical fastener to hold down the backplanes (other than the output screws).

I installed the two upper screws and spacers, I know one is used for chassis ground, do they hold down the backplanes? how?
