Don speaks truth. The stock rectifier is more than adequate for the task at 25A, 400V. You are just buying yourself extra margin.

Sorry about that, half a brain is better than nothing.

But that makes you walk around in circles...

that is good to know and I guess you can put me on team overkill because I like the idea of buying myself extra margin. also I got a question for early next year I am planing on ordering backplanes what is this talk I here about a rev c available/comming out and site still says rev b?

Harder to get lost that way but sometimes I can still accomplish even that!

Rev C Backplane Boards are shipping. The WOA site was last updated 6/5/2020 and it refers to Rev C for the PL700 Backplane Boards.

I just saw it yesterday thanks

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Yeah, I had to rattle Joe's cage to get with the program.......

 

[K-5BLAZER]

when time come to work on my amp are any of sock parts that get gutted worth any thing to any one that could be sold?

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

who would want the junk back plane parts or a burnt up Control board or a wad of shitty wire???? Or the shipping that would go along with the junk?? You need to relax since you are quite a ways away for a rebuild. Start worrying about that stuff when we get into the disassembly stage (what, next year??)

 

[K-5BLAZER]

yes next year if things go my way I may have the backplanes and control board in march

The only parts of any value when you are looking to WOPL your PL amplifier are the transformer/mounting hardware, original knobs and handles (if they are in good condition), and meters/mounting hardware (for the PL400 or 700B).
Maybe a nice original wood cabinet...

 

[AngrySailor]

The rectifier in Tim (my 700/1) shorted. Just sayin’...

 

[laatsch55]

Not unheard of...

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Yeah, I got $20 each for the original crap control board. The knobs and buttons get reused, not much left to sell.
