If you’ve been following along on the nasty 2x8, we’re just about ready to close it up and call it good. Kinda long video but worth watching.

Last one of the day. How important is it to tune the splitter & combiner networks ? What effect does the circuit have on the performance & longevity of an amplifier ? This is the tune of a combiner network, with a random size coil, and the wrong capacitance.

That should fix it. Lmao. Another 🐈‍⬛, pile of garbage being rescued from the scrap pile

Some people should just stop trying. This is why repairs take so long. This is a rebuild, not a repair.
