So I opened the Hood on my PL700 II

I wanted to see what kind of condition the inside was in, this is the amp I posted about awhile back the meters were not working properly.
The meters stopped working all together now. Still plays fine. Going to be a WOPL one day hope soon...

sorry bout the crap cell phone pic's.....

Meters dead and you eventually want to WOPL?
Start with the new LED meter kit!

Still operational, that sounds like a plan to me Mark

shoulda spent the money on back planes and control board. That's like changin the headlights on a car you are gonna take to the drag races.

Sometimes you need to dip your toe in the water before you jump in.

You will still have a 40 year old ticking time bomb with with pretty lights..... tick tick tick tick

Little victories add up..

Not if you lose the battle in between each one. Back Plane failures can eat up all the other new parts. My car has a new motor but the transmission and rear end are ready to fall out....

I'm not leaving the amp like this for long, will be A full WOPL. I just wanted to get the meters working and go from there...

A full rebuild is a big job.
