If you are reading this, I assume you have followed Jeff Day's blog and PF online articles about Shirokazo Yazaki, the founder of SPEC Corp. and former design engineer for Pioneer. I wanted to replicate the mods Jeff did with Yazaki-san's tutelage to modify his MC30's, see this link:
http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=7528 and bought a decent pair of MC30's and assembled the parts for the mod. Then, life happened. So it goes.
The parts include the following: a pair of Joe Auwen's repro chassis, plus matching transformer and base decals; new OEM (Cinch?) terminal boards; Buss fuseholders; Switchcraft RCA's for chassis grounding (to avoid ground loops, Audio Classics states that the returns should be grounded to the chassis); Belton phenolic tube sockets; repro dual turret PCBs from Watts Tube Audio; film caps consist of a full complement of Blue and Green Arizona Capacitor Cactus, + a few Jupiter Vintage Tone, a pair of SPEC .1 uf mica input coupling caps (at the time, Yazaki-san sold me the last pair in existence, which I believe alone cost about $350), a handful of small value micas, and one pair of K40Y-9; Authenticap multisection caps, STTH6110TV2 ultrafast, soft recovery diode modules, Ohmite Brown Devil wirewounds and your choice of either new Jentzen Audio Grade electrolytics or Nichicon prototype electrolytics (developed for SPEC Corp.) for the PSU, Allen Bradley carbon comp resistors, most 5% (all measured within spec on a Fluke 87V), a few Takman carbon films and PRP 1% metal films; Bourns fixed RF chokes; Dueland DCA 20 GA hookup wire and Belden teflon insulated, silver-plated stranded copper hookup wire, and probably some other items I forgot about.
$3500 + shipping and PP fee.
