WOPL 700B Rev E board question

[ETLS]

Well no word so far on the return.

What would it cost to rebuild this "upgraded" unit?

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I myself, hate taking a bite of a shit sandwich made by others. I would treat this as a stock 700B coming in and would install new back planes/output transistors, and a control board along with ALL NEW WIRING. It's the only way I could warranty my work since I didn't build any of it. Plus, we don't even know whats wrong with it. It can take many hours of troubleshooting and with the great price of White Oak boards, it may be easier to just replace them. Yer looking at about $1200-$1400 but it would be new with full warranty. I'm sure it's NOT what you want to hear. Or, I'd give you a credit towards a unit I have just completed. If you paid over a grand for it, I'd return it for sure. Bargain basement WOPL's don't exist. If you paid less than a grand, it's worth rebuilding. That's just my take on it. There are a few other builders here who may see it different.

$1800 plus shipping.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Ouch. I could have put you in a 700 II with full warranty for that.

 

[FredR]

$1800 plus shipping.

PayPal?

 

[ETLS]

Yeah, partially.

Ed's still wanting me to send it back to Chuck to repair/troubleshoot. That makes zero sense to me. At this point I just want it out of here and be back at square one.

For that much coinage, I should be pissing off the neighbors instead of shipping a box of iron across the country.

 

[FredR]

Yeah, partially.

PayPal gives you options for disputing the transaction.

 

[FredR]

Ed, if you are reading this, you need to man up here.

 

[ETLS]

It will be heading back. Back to square one.

 

[FredR]

It will be heading back. Back to square one.

Square one is my favorite.

Just to be clear, I am not the Ed that is being talked about here.

We know that Ed, I told Rob you could fix it also but your up here with me and he's down in Texas

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

back for repair?

 

[Northwinds]

back for repair?

I would not let that dude fix shit, he fucked it up from the start and I don't know about the seller either. I used to think that dude was righteous as heck but I doubt he even tried the amp out prior to selling it to Rob because if he did, he would have known something was not right

 

[ETLS]

No return. Refund once I get it safely packed and shipped back.

It's been almost a year since my dream of owning a PL WOPL 700 went to sh!t from a couple of bullsh!t artists. That f'n ordeal suxs, but at least I was refunded my cash.

I finally found a fully restored pair of Cerwin Vega DX-9'S, and had those U-shipped to my shop. Ron's old 400 is coming up for sale soon, and he's offered that to me, but I really had my heart set on one of the 700's with the full restoration mods done.

Maybe this year will be the year I get my forever amp.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Good luck in your search. A forever amp is cool and a WOPL is a forever amp (done correctly).

As luck would have it:

I hadn't planned to run the amp without a preamp. I have not had the opportunity to either purchase a new or new to me one, or dig out my SX-828. I picked up the CD player so I could test it out, and then wait until i had my new shop built, so I could get stuff moved around where i could set it up.

And a proper preamp.
