Location: Brighty in Blighty | Hi,
I bought a OP PRO STUDIO (full kit - see pic) as I want to swap out the OP PRO VIP in my 07C.
So up for sale is the OP PRO VIP (full kit - like the picture above but with a VIP not a PRO STUDIO).
$180 + shipping (from the UK). |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | The OP PRO STUDIO kit has been despatched to me and as soon as it's here (a week or so I reckon) if there are no takers then to Ebay it goes... |

Dweeze - I can only afford half of your asking price. But I am waiting to hear from this Lawyer in Ethiopia! |

Woodrow says he's done it, but I would guess, because of the different shapes, that it would require some major patching of the bowl. I know that the factory doesn't do it.
Woodrow, what's the story? |

Location: closely held secret | An OP24 I can see, but I think replacing an Optima would definitely call for some Bondo.
Vince, I know for a fact the Factory has Optimas in stock. I still believe they are possibly the best preamp Ovation has, and replacing an OP24 with an Optima would require minimal cutting. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I already have an Op Pro and a VIP on hand to replace two Op-24s. I'm just debating on which one to put in the Adamas 1581. The other I'm replacing is in the 1768C. I have to finish my music room before I dive in either way. Does anyone besides me have a problem finishing projects before moving on to others??? |
