From Wikipedia
The Mark Levinson ML-3 is a 200 W per channel dual monaural Class AB2 power amplifier that uses toroidal transformers. Produced between 1979 and 1987 the ML-3 is two electrically separate amplifiers in one chassis, hence the name "Dual Monaural". It also featured discrete circuit construction, no integrated circuits were incorporated in order to keep the signal pure.
Archetype of American highend, highpower amplifier.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Nope. I believe the ML-3 was fully Class AB, and ran cool as a cucumber. I never messed with the bias...a waste of heatsinks if you ask me...sounded quite nice tho...
The original owner also had an Audible Illusions Modulus 3 that had a faceplate that was also completely faded away...both of them were right in front of a huge picture window...they were Sun Bleached...

I have been looking for some Levinson Cables to use with my ML1 and ML2's
I have been watching ebay for some time and have found some at a decent start price I am bidding on
I am only wanting 1 set, but the seller has multiple sets available as well as 2 single cables.
If anyone else is looking for the same cables have a look.
It may well be worth getting them just for the connectors.
and they offer Worldwide Shipping.

Camacs plugs are the original WW Fischers Levinson used.
Cable does not look as the original silvercable from Levinson.
When I had a ML-7A and a pair of ML-2's I ordered a camac to camac cable with Lemo's the other Swiss camacsystem plug Levinson used before the WW Fischers.
L00L00-174D-20: Coaxial Cable, Lemo 00 to Lemo 00, RG174 dual, 20 foot, 50 ohm (NIM/CAMAC)
I think they can make any cable you want at a acceptable price.
Don't be fooled by the Levinson hype regarding cables and or plugs because you can still order them normally at the firms that delivered them to MLAS at the eighties or other firms.

You have to check first at www.lemo.com but I've never seen them.
I'm sure WW Fischer makes them from male camac to female cinch see the picture from my ML-7.
Later ons I never used these adapters because they're expensive and I would opt for an cable without adapters.
Your ML-1 and ML-2's have both camacs don't they?
