phase linear 400

[George S.]

Gene, if you want original bolts, I have 4, totally grubby and need polished. My S1 came to me with a big Red Baron Iron Cross sticker on the front, and Harley stainless bullet nuts facing outward from the faceplate. The aluminum bolts were there with the heads on the back of the flange. Craigslist buy and guy said it was used as a guitar amp.
Personally, I'm going to measure and spec a set of those RAF handles and ferrules for the S1. Not sure the available mounting bolts are going to be close enough to be a good tight fit. I'll check this out sometime soon and if they'll work I'll get pricing.

Looks delicious. Enjoy.

The 400 S1 faceplates take a 3 3/4" or 96mm between centers rack handle or drawer pull. This is larger than the S2 which is 3 1/2".
RAF makes no rack handles with the S1 dimension. Plenty of drawer and cabinet "Aluminum Wire Pulls" out there, but nothing so far taking a 1/4" bolt without drilling and tapping.
I'll do some more searching later.

Hmmm, Digikey is showing some I didn't see on the RAF site. Cool

My error, thought this one came off a amp, came off a PL2000 S2. Doh!

 

[George S.]

Here's my best candidate. Unfortunately it's out of stock everywhere. Can't even find a photo of the actual part. Yes, RAF. Have to wonder if they ever actually produced it.

some sort of seafood coctail...was piping hot and really good....this was the special for today...seems they got a fresh shipment of snapper...that is how ticos fry their fish...eyeballs and all...filets are too wasteful...lol...the flat thing is a patacone...smushed plantain (a type of banama) ..deep fried...very crispy...crunchy...was well worth the drive!!!

 

[gene french]

maybe calanga, guy that made up the fins, can make something from stainless ...3.5" c/c...1/4" bolt...i think 1/2" square stock???
i will see what he can do...

 

[George S.]

3.75" or 96mm c to c. Bolts are 1/4". I like my present rack handles because they're big a beefy. They just don't match the preamp. Every drawer pull I can find is too thin to drill and tap. I'll keep looking.

wow...i do like those...not a big fan of the regular c shaped clamps...i will show to calanga...

It's just a stainless drawer pull from the big box store. Selected because it's thick enough to drill and tap. The ferrules are cone washers off the Bay.

i can do that!!!
they look nicer than originals...

 

[George S.]

Also get the cone washers, they really complete the look. That Bay link in my thread still works.

 

[gene french]

just ordered 3 sets of handles...
going to the bay for the washers!!!
