inserting the transistor leads.

Tightening of the TO-3 connection screws is important for proper connections. The screws should be snug and tight but be careful not to over-torque these screws or you will risk damaging the transistors, chassis or nylon and metal standoffs. Recommended torque is 4-5 in-lbs.

Hello friends. I just want to give an update on the WOPL 400, it's working flawlessly and bringing joy to the family and new life to the music. I just wanted to reconnect to the forum, since I've been logged out since I got a new phone, and I'm waiting patiently for Joe's response to my parts request, as my son and I are embarking upon a new full WOPL build of a 700 Series 2.

I will respond soon. I am traveling at the moment, a family funeral in Virginia and will catch up on communication when I return home next week.
