WOPL coming to market

[grapplesaw]

Here is a couple quick shots. "Bentley Blue" is in Burn-In...... It's kinda hard to get the gist of it with the lighting but I'll get some good ones tomorrow after testing and button-up. Looks nice though.

I don't like the knobs so I'm gonna try another set.

Well done Perry

As a suggestion for knobs I like the multicomp 38mm knob. Check out these 32mm knobs on eBay. 142319911337

I also use the 38 mm size

Fred, I use Rustoleum textured Black, and top it off with a couple coats of clear........

Next time your having parts scanned for cnc code like you did for the handles, Maybe get the meter bezels done.
I'd like some metal that could be chromed. Or just copper or brass or bronze would look cool too. I think you could sell a bunch. Or at least a couple dozen. And something HAS to be done about getting new VU meters made. You could corner the market! ( If there is one?)

Money my brother.... Money

Handles were easy compared to the bezels.

700B meters are not worth messing with. I still suggest using a picture of granny in the holes if a meter goes tit's up. But, on a positive note. I have yet to see a meter go out (besides the melted one from the bulk cap explosion).

The original bezels can be chromed OR..... I polished a set to a chrome like finish and then cleared them. They can also be Chrome powder coated.... Your choice.

I hate chrome. I had all the shit on the harley black powder coated because polishing shit is a waste of time. Chrome don't get you home, and paint, makes it what it aint!!!!

 

[Bradrock]

OK

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Looks like I can continue with the Series II build now. Not gonna paint it though, Joe's chassis' are sweet all by themselves.

You didn't look close enough. That's what's in it

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Those are in short supply.

So it is. I did't scroll up far enough. It was Glen's pic I was looking at.

It’s a good looking amp as well

Yes it is and FWIW, I did the face plate swap a few days ago - finally.

OK then.

In 2014, I think, Lee sent me a NOS power switch and I took this opportunity to install it. My middle name is Procrastination. What this amp's had for a power switch for as long as I've had it (29 years and God that makes me feel old) was an ancient Bakelite switch probably harvested from a big ol' TV set then tile nipped to size.

When I pulled the 700 to swap plates, I stuck the 400 in it's place which I think I'll leave there for a while. At present, the 700 still sits on what used to be my dining table in what used to by my dining area.

I either need better lighting for photos or buy better than the $10 & $20 cameras I've been getting off Craigslist.

One of these days, I may ask you how to re-connect the level control pots. Still there but non functioning since it had it's conversion.
