Just signed up on the forum, my name is Perry, I just moved from Zona back to Mn which I left when I joined the service back in 77. Spent 4 years in the Army, then got out and joined the Navy. I'm a retired Aviation Electronics Tech and went through Board Repair and Soldering School, now I'm retired and in my spare time, I work on vintage gear. I've built dozens of Phase Linear 700B/Series II amps using White Oak Audio boards to replace the wonky PL junk. Here is a couple pics of the amps after I built them. Sorry for the fuzzy pics, the different colors don't show in pics well. I ride my Harley, and spend time with the grandkids as much as possible.

Hello Perry, thanks for joining us! I love those crazy colours on PL amps. It seems that you are living the best life. When I grow up, I want to be like you :D

Growing up is highly overated :)

I love the vintage gear but when I restomod them, I like to put my own spin on them. I did a set of 6 consecutive serial numbered 700 II Clair Brothers and had them powder coated in Italian Racing Red. Here is one of them.

But the most crucial question is whether the racing red amplifier sounds faster? :)

Welcome Perry, Nothing keeps you moving and sleeping at night more than following lovable little kids around.
