New to forum. Looking to have D-500 Dual restored. Have a 400 that needs resto also. Recommendations. Full resto. Done right. Thanks.
 
I am now building a dual 500 with one of Joe's dual mono boards. It will also have be full complemtary setup ans many other little changes. May install a soft start and suspension mount the transformer.

Here are some shots of the rev E control board installed with two 33,000 uf power capacitors

Some serious mojo there Glen.

Your build underway, 33,000uF caps seem like a lot even for a D500. Were caps that size, that physically fit, easy to find?

Is the xformer in those same as 700’s or larger?

So yes it is overkill. And yes it requires slow blow main fuse.

They are the same size as the stock ones Gary. I got 6 sets for a good price and that is the only reason I got them for my system. As Lee says “Head Room Baby”!!!! And I guess if you are maxed out then you may get a further millisecond before distortion sets in
 
Well now that I've drooled all over my amp..... I will talk to you soon. Thanks
 
That didn’t take long...took me over a year to figure out these yahoos know their stuff. Don’t look back, you will be happy happy!
