The first of 4, PRO 700'S just showed up on the stoop

[J!m]

Good color!

I had to remove some trim on the door frame of the garage where the Land-Rover hibernates. Even with the right rear tire deflated, I was ripping it off all the time... so I just took it all off, primed and painted. Extra 3/4" clearance gained!

I have my 700 Pro on the bench burning in on the dim bulb (worked fine for 6+ hours). I took it off the DBT so I could get the bias dialed in, plugged her into the outlet and hit the power........

I got lucky..... No Kaboom but it didn't power up either. Check this shit out.........

I think the fuse was limiting the voltage/current. I replaced the fuse with a brand spanking new one and it came right up.

The door wont come down with the bumper hanging out. The color of my green truck is tinted bedliner. The whole truck was done in it.

Can't blow up the transformer when the fuse is cutting Voltage and Current to the amp.

Beware what you are getting when ordering fuses on the net. The Yo-Yo I bought fuses from advertised them as AGC and when I got them, they were chineeze junk fuses which are NOT 1-1/4 x 1/4.

They are mm fuses and didn't fit for shit so I used an original till my AGC's showed up. The amp gave me trouble several times on the DBT but I thought I had it figured out........ NOT!!!! A new Zero Ohm fuse was installed and it seems to be good to go.

Even throwing $1000 into an amp for new parts won't save you if you don't finish the job correctly.

Here is a shot of the shit chineeze fuses. Scrawnier and shorter. So, they will cause issues too.

I didn't know Joe sold fuses

yes...he sold to me...along with various transistors and parts...i trust him

 

[gene french]

i was worried about bothering him for small stuff...he quickly informed me that he welcomes all orders...i have to consolidate my stuff...freight gets tough after a bit...i dont order small stuff alone...try to be considerate with joe...i am sure his plate is full....

Ha! If Joe doesn't have it, you don't need it !

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

yes...he sold to me...along with various transistors and parts...i trust him

Trust Joe??? Oh Hell yeah. I suppose when yer off the grid he makes it a lot easier for you to get a build done in a timely fashion if he can get most everything to you at one time.

Joe's plate is so full that he'll weigh 400lbs by the time we get done with him.

I used to have about everything I needed for building amps and since I'm nearing the end of my amp building, I let my stock go down and now I have to make several orders because I don't have what I need. AND, it's easy to miss some of the little stuff (fuses, DCP parts, wire etc...). As a matter of fact, I just got my parts from Joe and do you think I remembered everything??? Hell no, I shorted myself some outputs and who knows what else. But, I have enough to get the Pro 700 and the 400 WOPL done. Maybe I'll save this last Pro 700 for when I'm not busy (yeah right).

Like I said before, I got Kool Aide and no sugar, pop tarts and no barf bag, and cereal but no milk..... Oh well....

maybe trust is not the correct word in this context....i believe joe has the knowledge and experience to recommend the correct part/procedure ...i guess that is synonymous with trust ...anyway....you get the drift....

I dumped my parts for the original boards quite a while ago. I didn't have any fun monkeying with them. Although I still have some LED drivers and a few LED modules for the old cylon boards.
