Nah, the amplifier. It's on eBay with that broken part not working for 675.00. I sent em an offer of 450.00 plus shipping. We will see and thank you for being so willing to help me Perry.

You know I really do not need another project but I really have wanted to find a 700B to WOPL one day. If any of you cats have time stop by

and tell me what you think about this amplifier. I think it would look nice cleaned up but you all know more than I about these. Let me know. Thanks.
You need good meters and transformer, everything else can be replaced with new...

So if I had two good meters then I could use the PL 700 that I already have . Now to find two good meters or buy a whole unit... Decisions, decisions. The PL 700 I have is in such good shape too.

Is the one you have now a 'B' or the original assymetrical one?

I should have been clearer...
You need good 700B meters with frames and 700B transformer, everything else can be replaced with new...

I understand. My 700 is the 1st production, assymetrical, with the two smaller meters. Are the power transformers not the same ? Never heard back from the person on eBay about the 700B.

Transformers are similar but lacking the die cast cradle to hold/support the capacitors.

Its the lens you are talking about that says "Phase Linear 700B Laboratory standard" that is broken. I read your post above that you have them. Dude will take 600.00 including shipping is it worth that ? Just asking to see what you guys think of that price.

Kinda high price but it's hard to find the 700B's for cheaper. When you WOPL it, you'll still be under 3 grand which will be the going price about any time since the parts have skyrocketed. 3 grand for a world class, kick ass amp like the WOPL is well worth it when you see the price of the other stuff that's wayyyy overpriced.

Plus, you can buy the parts to do it over a years time if you can't afford to jump in right away. I hear Joe is starting a Lay-Away program (Kiddin).

Well what the hell I may as well right ! I got one question in to the dude. If he answers me back I will just go ahead and buy it. Thanks again Perry.

I quit buying core amps because the price is so high. It drives my finished amp price up up up.... But, if you got's to have one for the house (YES YOU DO), get while you can.
