This exceptional piece of vintage hardware has had the following replaced:** Grey textured, satin finish, powder coated sheet metal top, bottom, and fascia plate behind logo glass
** ALL transistors
** ALL diodes (silicon diodes upgraded for higher voltage and current handling capability)
** ALL capacitors (main filter caps upgraded from 22,000uF, to 47,000uF
and low current PS caps upgraded from 1000uF, to 3300uF. Both pairs
bypassed with film caps)
** ALL resistors (with the exception of the two wired to the headphone
jack. Power resistors bumped to the next step up in wattage handling
capability.)
** ALL fuses and bulbs
** ALL relays
** Prerequisite Deoxit of all switches and pots except ... volume pots
are factory sealed with no access holes for spray nozzle. Keeps the dust
and dirt out. Serial #010134 I don't really know what more to say other than this unit is
aesthetically !!!clean!!! (understated elegance) and electronically
quiet, powerful, extended (freqs) and restored for the long haul. It
really speaks for itself quite eloquently. If you can find a better
sounding 700M, buy it...but you won't find one.
