This video is a followup from my earlier video on the "70 Watt" amplifier from ebay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgiakIxMjfI&t=85s
In this video I show a board I had created using the circuit from that amplifier together with some great mods from F5NPV

The board schematic and gerber files are here

The bill of materials is here - let me know if you have any questions on the source of any component

Here's a link to those ferrite tubes on aliexpress

I do a shoutout to kitandparts in the video - no affiliation but they are a great source for all your toroid and binocular needs
