Jim's 400 Series II

[jbeckva]

Got a guy over from AK that Ron let me know about a few months ago. In for a wopl'ing is a nice series II. Got it torn down, and now it's time for parts to become another schweet sounding power amp.


Parts story, so far...



And, time to get busy with the standoffs on the back-planes.

You're in good hands with Jerry - he's top notch. I really like the looks of the Series II PL amps.

LOL hey Ron... here's what is waiting in the wings. Just need to go down and get some screwz.. Yep, this was the one you had sent a few years back. Dingbat me - I found out about 2 years ago that it's real problem was me knuckle-dragging one of the outputs. Didn't see it until I robbed 'em for a wopl build long ago, where one of the pins was bent while installing it! Dagnabit.. well, it'll be ebayed prolly when I'm done!

IF you look in Heads Up! I posted a forlorn pound puppy 400 that's on eBay you might be able to rescue.

That was a damn fine amp Jer aside from that slight buzzing

the amp shipped safely and fully WOPL'd by Jerry, and it is probably the best upgrade i've ever done in my system. many, MANY thanks to Jerry for his fine work
