I have the chancevto purchase a PL700b and PL2000 all in working condition. Probably hasn't been upgraded. Is $750 for both a good deal?
Thanks
 
If they are cosmetically excellent and electrically fine I would say yes. I would also say they WILL need some money thrown at them to make them reliable so factor that in...Rich
 
Yes if I did purchase them I would be doing upgrade. How muchnis it to upgrade everything on the amp?
 
You will need to wait for the experts to chime in for the answer to that question-of course if you are able to do things yourself it will be a bit cheaper.

Yeah I think I could pull it off. I have done some recaps of vintage gear and some repairs.
 
Figure $1500.00-$2000.00 for the works on the amplifier. The PL2000 can be upgraded with new OPAMPs for pennies. But to take it to the extreme of what it is capable of could run $500.00 or more, mostly labor.
For around $3000.00 (including your initial purchase) you will have a system that few can duplicate for any amount of money.
 
Buy it man. If you can jew em down a smidge give it a try but buy. (no offense to any Jew's here, just an oldtime phrase I can't seem to quit)
