From my reading, all of this equipment will need to be resto modded. I’m planning to do the amps first using wopl parts and protection circuitry from watts abundant. This equipment has been in storage since the mid ‘80s and were fully operational when they were stored in the original packaging. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. This equipment was owned by a recording engineer for his personal use (home). All of it is complete original at this point.
Inheriting equipment including pl400, pl4000 and pl500

Welcome to Phoenix Audio Community,
The PL400 you can do a complete WOPL with White Oak Audio products, including watts abundant protection circuit.
Or do a partial restore mod. The original parts are old and won't last much longer.
I'm guessing the 500 is a Dual 500. Replacing the main caps and outputs and all the electrolytic capacitors on the boards
would be a good start.

The 500 is supposed to be a pl 5000 but appreciate the response! There are two (maybe 3) turntables and then the studio equipment that is a whole other project.
