I'm going to take a guess on the price range- $30k to $40k, probably $35k.

I already started saving .........

You probably reverse engineered it already from the photo!

Where are the picks of the inside?

 

[vdi_nenna]

ZM is so good, he only needs outside chassis photos.

 

[AudioSan]

ZM is using X-ray glases

Reviving this (old) tread.

But i think the pictures from this website could help.

Legos are everywhere.

 

[Zen Mod]

yup

UGS , core cascoded , outer ring with Toshibas

OP servo , so DC coupled all the way

that's more than enough of Real McCay , for open public forum

You missed ceramic circuit board.

 

[Zen Mod]

naah

I already made it



edit : I'm selling it together with original PL and FW cases

Seems a bit Xs-ive...

And do I see two optocouplers to bias the Toshibas....

And two voltage regulators that are possibly regulated by the OP servo?

But I am only a lost soul hallunizinating.....

Interesting thoughts. Not positive those are opto's, but very possible. Makes my head hurt to think about. Servo is probably both simple and another point o manipulation. Unity gain FE could setup interesting output. Transformerish. If your hallucinating, I'm the walking dead.

Seeing something of the arduous work done by Nelson and Wayne for Xs Pre….

and seeing the similarity to BBA-3, I can only say thanks Mr. Pass!

 

[buzzforb]

Kudos for sure.....even to mighty resident DoDo who is always servicing dumb questions
