- I love the sound of WOPL in the morning
Been a while since I have posted around these parts. Work and life has gotten a majority of the time. I'm a new dad now!!! The little guy has been keeping me busy that's for sure.
Anyways, scored a 400 off of the bay that was non-working. Guy said he was "trying" to get the meters working and something happened that killed the sound. When I got it the insides looked pretty good. First check was the fuses. They were wrong. Wrong values and two small. The distance was made up with a metal BB. Nice. Put new fuses in and removed the face plate that was wired incorrectly. Past dim bulb test and powered up nicely!!! Sweet now I have another 400 I can mess around with.
Also scored a non-working kenwood C1 preamp off the bay. Phono section was out. Ended up one of the transistors for the phone power supply was bad. Easy fix and it's running great. Have to say this is one nice preamp.
will post some pics tomorrow
