Michele wanted a 400 with rack handles...told her good luck with that....and lo and behold a 400 Stephen picked up for me in Phoenix , which Jason made the deal on with a cherry 700B,. just happened to have a set. It also has front panel IEC style fuses and volume pots. It was not done by a hack either, very well done. This amp has been sitting in Stephens garage for months as I thought it was a beat up frankensteined 400 from the description I initially got....this will be an interesting project..

This did have some external caps, I remember the story now , it had an external jag of caps bolted to the heatsinks. I had told Steve to go ahead and trash em...got it on the AP right now......not good. 10% distortion on the left channel, right channel looks good...

So I guess you should not lick your fingers and touch these :)

That'd be my guess....IIRC there was a 4 pack of 22k/100 volt caps on the outside...

What is the note on the fins? 85VDC/20A running through them? You could probably charge your Iphone but just walking past this beast. :happy3:

Those that are posted, but I can certainly take more. Won't look any different on the outside, be plumb different on the inside...
