Ron's Blackie to Whitie Conversion

I have tears in my eyes right now, this is totally unexpected and I don't know what to say. I am so blown away right now by your guys kindness and generosity. I will do everything in my power to continue to spread the word about these unbelieveable amps and hope I can represent the brand in a positive way in the future whatever that future holds and I think it's a bright one. I believe in them, they have proven themselves to be the very best sounding amps that I have ever had the pleasure of owning

You guys and Joe are the real heroes, without you, these amps would never have been. I am glad to help in anyway I can and again, I think you from the bottom of my heart. Debbie's looking at me and asking what's wrong, I shed a tear for no one but right now I am having a hard time keeping it in. I am overwhelmed

Thank you
 
Ron, just keep doin what ya do Bud, we're glad to have ya...
 
Yep, found 2 meters Jer, they've been lost for awhile, BUT as I was cleaning up for Kev and Krystals visit starting Thursday found em in a place I wouldn't forget em, you know how that goes.

Br and 4-.1uf 400 volt film caps
PS caps
2-meters

6 or 8 MJ 95's? I think I had put 024's in this guy maybe, but no problem.. got 10 left over from my B conversion.

Hardware for the BP's and whatnot.. included, eh? The studs, rings, nylon's, ...
 
And I think I got some 1/4 by 1/8 copper left over from my last 400 build for a B.A.B.B. ... heheh. (If I can START cleaning this sty UP today... :shock:)
 
Duh, yeah 8... got some extra 96's?? How good are the lenses in those meters? These are "dark smoke" so ya might wanna swap em. What about a light board?

Got the light board. Should we swap tho, as it's the rev without the sensitivity jumpers? Yep, the 96's are the ones I still have left over.

And there's Ron's old 1.5T with quite a few brand new 95's and 96's.. hmmmm.. hold on...
 
The BC's are the cmplete kit so no worries there, and I have LOTS of BABB material, let me know if ya run short...

Ah maybe not.. Used 'em for the FC. I'm still good on 96's so just 8 95's.

I'll send it and the C board back to ya. Old meters too if you think you might want to take a crack at fixing them (didn't have much luck there)

Or hmm.. should I hold onto the C for that series one I was thinking of resurrecting? Either way, I'm game...
 
OMG meters too? I don't know what to say, you guys TOTALLY rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a friend in Illinois who I have been talking to about joining this board. He used to buy a lot of MFSL records from me and now he's hardcore into audiophile systems. My last recommendation to him was a Perreaux SA3 preamp and that did it, he's hooked for life when he got one. I have been discussing WOPL's with him but he's hardcore into McIntosh. I need to rectify that and soon I hope he will be here inline for an amp. There is another friend of mine who was an Admin for the MCCH (Matchbox cars collector board) who is a member of AK now. He has expressed an interest also but he is a tubehead. I told them both once they hear a WOPL, they will realize tubes need to stay in the past because there is not a tube amp made that can even approach how these sound

Doing my best to promote. I made a believer of Jason and he's another one who will go out of his way to spread the word

I recently posted a picture of Sally Mach'd out on MyLesPaul and immediately got several pm's from members there that remember the amps and wanted to know what is going on with them so hopefully more people will migrate here and lineup for their own amps soon

A local music store rents out our town's Elks Club for music shows, I plan to bring the WOPL's there also for demonstration this summer since I setup a record booth and they always ask me to bring coolness since I egt a lot of traffic. I will show them some coolness indeed :evil4:

The real deal is getting these into National shows like Lee is planning. Kick some serious butt and blow away the corksniffer equipment with a WOPL and a set of K-horns from hell

Yeah, save the C for the lottery 700, I'll send a meter for that one too, if you'll send or post a pic of it...I think I can match it, I have 2 of the 3 they used and if not I know this guy that has some brand new ones...


Ron, that's exactly why we're doing this, cause you spread the word, thanks Bud..
