Saw this on the Audio Cheapskates Facebook Page. Never seen one before! Look at the wood!:)

Those cabinets were from the factory, and not uncommon.  Remember, that model was the best selling Phase Linear model ever.

The drawback with the PL1000 wasn't looks, it was that it had unusual dimensions, and thus didn't stack well with all the usual 19" stuff.  The wooden case just makes that problem a bit worse.

I have one. Paid $65 for a 'mint' cabinet, $50.00 for the PL 1000.

Wood cabinets were pretty standard on consumer audio gear when I started buying components in the late 60's. By the mid 70's when I bought these they were optional.
