PD, I'm sorry man. After speaking amongst us every day with no new members I get in the habit of assuming everyone knows what I'm talkin about, which, if the truth was known, very little. Joseph King, EE and Audio Hobbist Extrordinaire, and just plain cool Man about the Town is an engineer's engineer. A famous Joe quote( ok, not famous, but will be) " Anything can be fixed Lee". If there is something wrong, then there is something right that will make it go. We're kinda blessed here in that Joe knows an audio circuit, like ..um.....uh....everstuff. He's our "go to guy" for all things not understood, or those" God ,and Joe, just tell me enough so i don't look like an idiot" kinda things. Very personable and no pretensions ( above void if you're a liberal). He's the kind of geek that would have been as comfortable with the jocks as the tie down crowd. I've personally had him re-engineer a couple electrical apparati I use in the oilfield , and as everything else he's professional, efficient, with plenty helpings of humor, not the kind of guy that is fatiguing to be around, quite the opposite.
PD, i can get very close to that price if you can get me an enclosure with the transformer, output sockets, faceplate and meters.No need being concerned with a non-=worker as that is preferred.Less stuff to take out, and send to Ed. The tricky part, (and even moreso as the world awakens to what the PL 400's and 700's sound like after this), is getting a cherry cosmetically and trashed electronically. it's a rare occurance when one event is responsible for both conditions. Anticipating a shortage of said "rare occurances" this member has been on a mission to encourage the creative process of members past , present and future to overcome these pesky little details and find a way to get new faceplates and meters. I think we are making some progress, like cooking a great soup, a little of this guy, a little more of that guy, shake and season to taste, and out comes a solution, usually elegant in it's simplicity and ease of implementation. That's what I personally hope for this site. the collective endeavours, individually pursued and tried with constructive feedback( not top be confused with global negative feedback, which BHO does very well by himself) in a positive and encouraging way. A recipe for successful problem solving. And thank you for all those who contribute, and to all those who WILL.
