Coil came loose during shipping? Yeah, right.

naah ....... too expensive shipping to Serbia .....

Nelson Pass · 10th December 2009, 03:30 PM

The owner should send it to me. I'll fix it for cost of shipping.

Wow, very bad shape is right! Snap-In capacitors ripped right off the PCB, transformer looks like it is in sad shape, wonder what happened to this thing. Hmmm, may have to keep my eye on this one, lots of work, but a nice early Christmas present and winter project.

naah ..... already 300++ greenies (wakoo spoiled kids

)

If I ask Papa politely - maybe he have pair of beaten or scratched 'sinks for that money ;
that's all needed to have real Papamp

By jove, old bean, still in rather jolly good shape for something with a 007 serial number.

True, it is about 4 time more than I have spent on a Zen DeLite, though I have little doubt that the Aleph J is better... or at least different. Had to start one after finding 300watt light bulbs as Home Depot for $4. I could use a heatsink for that project *wink *wink.

edit: I would be a nice piece of Pass history (and listening gear) though, decedent of the wonderful Aleph 30.

I think by "coil" they mean power transformer?
Looks like something big and heavy was bouncing around in there,and the covering on the transformer windings is all shredded..
