These are the originals you sent Dennis and there's plenty of them yet...

 

[NavLinear]

Ok - just holler when you need more.

I can't seem to find the other two or three LED holders I made for the 3300 II - I'll get some more fabricated and send them with red LEDs but they may not make this shipment.

 

[laatsch55]

No problem. Got a 3300 sitting here in line though....

 

[laatsch55]

Inserts in.....gotta go change the time clock at the shop, back in a jf..

 

[laatsch55]

Backplanes done. I'llk wire them tomorrow..and Kitty Cuddles...

 

[Skynyrd77]

Damn your moving right along Lee!!

Trying o get done by Sunday. No reason I shouldn't be able to do ine per week, unless the dreaded work thing bears down...

 

[Skynyrd77]

Damn 1 per week!!! That's shows how bad I wanna beat the dudes ass that still has my 1250 after like 14 months. This past Sunday nvr came. Now he ain't awnsering again.. Aaaarrhh

 

[laatsch55]

I think a 1250 rebuild is a little more involved than a WOPL, but 14 months is a little excessive....

Yea I think a bit excessive!!!! Fingers crossed is all I can say. This thing is mint so I'm looking at it that he has my 1000$ unit and 500$ of my cash.. Not cool lol

Im still waiting on my other 1801 to come back from the shop. I spoke to the tech last week and he said he was hoping parts would have arrived so he could have it back together before the weekend. He was going on a 3 week trip for training(I guess for work) and wanted to have it done before he left. I guess the parts never arrived because I never heard from him on the weekend. Sometimes life happens, but 14 months seems a bit much.

Hows the pre? Still happy with it?

Yep. It gets better by the day!! I still haven't shut it off since I got it! Is that a good or bad thing??
the power switch is a little tricky to get to stay in. So is it ok to leave it on??

 

[laatsch55]

Yeah, might have to replace electros in ten years....takes 2 days of a WOPL being plugged in to sound REALLY good too, AND THAT I don't understand....

I was pretty impressed with it and the fact we were able to improve the low frequency response ro match the WOPL's was a BIG plus, nice pre I thought...

 

[laatsch55]

Gonna sell the 1250?

Once I get my WOPL 1000 the 1250 and 939 will prob go up for sale..

 

[laatsch55]

Most of my Pioneer stuff will go sometime this year too. I'll keep the original Spec stuff I bought in 1975, but I don't need 4- Spec 2's...

 

[Skynyrd77]

I might keep the 939 for garage or something . But with a WOPL 1000 and 400 I should be set. Until someday I can afford that crazy expensive modwright pre I fell in love with in Chicago . It's a L200 or ls200 something like that. But it's 5k new and 3k used! So maybe in 10 years I can get one for a grand lol

 

[laatsch55]

Lot of money for a pre...
