WOPL Upgrade (Upgraded) For Sale

[mlucitt]

This may be the first public sale of an upgraded WOPL. This guy took a Rev E WOPL and decided it was not good enough. I wonder if he will get his price? Lots of nice parts left in the junk pile...

Ebayer "raindog911" (Steve E.) is also a member on this forum. His build(s) were documented on this forum several years ago. It appears he hasn't been on in a few years.

Grab handles recessed into the box looks goofy to me ...

A first Public sale of an upgraded wopl???? Hardly I do believe I have done a few. Matter of fact, just upgraded Rons WOPL

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I also upgraded my Rev E wopl to a G1 (And promptly sold it to build another (or 5).

Lee,

Is he the one responsible for the quote you use: "Synth percussion is deadly to children, house pets and shitty power supplies" ?

Also, I seem to recall some WOPL amps you were selling on ebay many years ago for around $750? Was there anyone you know of that was selling them on ebay before you?

He only had a control board and a dcp and still had the original back wall junk and light board when he upgraded the second time. It wasn't a WOPL until he finished the job.

You are not part of the Public, you are a well-known WOPL flipper on this board. I thought he was an outsider, Ed remembered him as Steve E., but apparently he has not been on this board for some time. That kind of makes him an outsider.

Also, just your opinion that because he did not have "the works" in his PL700B, does not mean it was not a WOPL amp. Opinions are like armpits, everyone has one or two. I have a quasi-complementary PL700B with a Rev A control board and nothing else; I fully consider it to be a WOPL amp.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I don't "Flip" WOPL's. I build and sell them. and as for a Phase Linear with a White Oak Control board, that is a hybrid. If I sell a partially upgraded amp on ebay, it is not a WOPL so I can't advertise as such. I'd have to call it a Phase Linear partially upgraded with White Oak parts. A quasi comp with some White Oak parts aint no WOPL... Far from it.

Yup, opinions ARE like "Armpits" You can smell the bad ones

 

[oldphaser]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

In my opinion is that anything that is no longer factory is a "resto-mod".

As for the WOPL pc boards...... the Rev A board was probably the closest to being a copy of a Phase Linear series one PL 14/PL20 pc board with a few exceptions. Over the years the boards have moved further away from the originals.
