PL400 SII Update

[Hexis22]

Ok, who’s the yahoo that performed a WO PL400 SII quasi comp update (control board, outputs, and caps) and glued the caps to the bracket??

Had to destroy the caps on removal and will be a pain to clean the bracket before placing new updated caps.

Although I’ll admit, the update was one of the cleanest I’ve observed (outside of the caps).

Wow Eric, sorry to see that.
That would be a mess, they are bad enough to clean up with the two sided 50 year old tape.
Looks like a lot of chefs in that kitchen too.... Joni, Kae, and TS. I haven't
seen 3 tags before.

First I’ve observed with more than one assembly tag as well.

The amount of variation in components and assembly of these amps continues to amaze me, even outside of the 4 fin variants.

Eeeeeew! Not as bad as my 700B was. What's the deal with the stacked capacitors and boards?

That’s the original WO cap update for the 400.
