28’s first build. One pill clown box. Let’s learn together.

[@RonaldPotter-vh1lm]

900 watts out of two pills . hahahahahahahahaha ya ok.

[@peakaboozen]

Good to see someone promoting our hobby.

[@ChristiannTyler]

I would buy a little kit like that in a heart beat! Been wanting to do some more hands on work with amps. That with the detailed step by step would be worth my $$$

[@imagitu6409]

you guys are based. perfect mix of humor and education to keep me learning without it feeling like I am learning. Big thanks for the vids.

[@tractorman1990]

Not sure i know any 2 other brothers that get along like yall do😂 keep up the good work

[@geranwilson8813]

Excellent job you got to love these guys they do awesome work and have way too much fun in the process🤣😂🤣🤩

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

thats why I laugh when people say us amp builders make "good money" Nooo we make money repairing, building is just for fun, were lucky to make $50-100 profit on a box for all of the labor. Its a labor of love

[@Douttawv]

Awesome job n Awesome build..thanks for another wonderful 28/22 build video as always!!! 💪💪💪💪😎💪💪💪💪✌️😁✌️

[@jessiec4128]

I sure wish I was at your home, learning. But I am learning right now, and will soon build myself a 2 pill. And maybe even a one pill. And will put that one on eBay! I want to thank you for teaching us on this. Soon I will be able to put one together quickly. But will try to take my time, as to not make a mistake. That right there is a good reason to keep blown pills. They do come in handy. Now, I have seen videos that show only two rows. Now when I build a one pill, it is OK to wrap 3. in the 1970's I was riding a Honda XR-75. And gas cost me 63 cents a gallon of gas. For my first build, 1 pill. Which will be used for the next build. Will use the single pill to drive the other. Good idea. This was the first video showing a one pill being built. Then connected as a driver for a 2 pill pushing amazing power!

[@1883GotDown]

Love the video comparison at the end....maybe I should have watched the whole video before commenting lol lol lol lol

[@1883GotDown]

I like how you drilled those pill holes big brother! NiCE! Over size is good!

Thank you sir.

The pill strips are mounted with double sided tape? Ready to build my first. Thanks.

That is pretty badass

[@samenamenamesame2834]

Should add a little sound board in side with a sick clown laugh that comes on for a split second after its turned on. a real one of a kind trade mark. Would have been cool if you could have talked a bit about each part and what it does and why it was needed. Thanks for the great video!

[@bigdaddy3640]

great vid .thanks man i like to have clown amp to build

[@plasticinthetree4261]

Did you drill the pill holes with a Forstner bit? Thanks

[@waynerankin107]

love that one pill

Where can I get a kit to start building

[@rodneymclemore8587]

When are y’all going to be getting some more video’s out lol 😂. Love watching y’all’s silly ass’es lmao. 73 guy’s. Y’all’s friend “ 176 Oklahoma AKA “ Mr. Sugar Bear 🐻 “ with the WAVE 👋

[@maxmousepr]

How many turn you put on the input transformer? Thanks the video!!!!

[@28chicagovideogate50]

The correct way is, three on the input side and two on the output side. I believe we did it backwards on the video lol. 22 changed it the next day and got 30 more watts out of it lol. May do a video on that.

[@1883GotDown]

I've always rolled with 5 wraps on the input and 2 on the output but...there is no correct way....you can make a few wrap ratios work with using various compensation capacitors on the input transformer. 5 wraps of 20awg on the input with no cap ontop with 2 wraps of 16 or 14 on output with a 1k ontop has always been a good ratio for me. Also having the choke to ground on input isn't needed but you can get away with it with a stand alone like this .

[@1883GotDown]

I dont know why and OMG I hate my mind goes in the gutter like this but here you flipped that switch on I thought about something.....what if you had like an image of John Holmes on the front 🤔 lol lol lol. I should be ashamed of my self but I guess you could guess where the on and off swith would be....man im terrible lol lol.

[@28chicagovideogate50]

10-4 on all that. Thanks for the input. You da man.

[@28chicagovideogate50]

Lol. Unfortunately I was able to fill in the blank. Thank God this is a family show. Now get back to work lol.

[@1883GotDown]

If that really is your first ever built 1 pill you should never sell it man...I still have mine..the epoxy 1 pill...not sure you know why I call it that or not but lol it makes a great driver for the test bench on many amps........loves yalls attitude man I know I would get along with yall boys if we ever get to Colab on a video in person

[@28chicagovideogate50]

Lol. Yes it is the first. I guess I should keep it. But I got to start selling some of this stuff before mama kicks me out. I’m sure we will meet up at Danny’s one day, and when we do we’re all gonna have the cameras rolling for sure. Can’t wait. Let me know when your coming out there, I’ll make sure I get there.

[@electromechanicalstuff2602]

I can barely get my 2*8 Fatboy to do that much..... Mostly because I'm using a factory Stryker that's very narrow banded with average swing

New Concept- "22 & 28s Build A Box Workshop". 🤔😉

[@rickyn420]

do you sell a DIY kit?

[@clintmurphy5436]

What's the reason for 3 wraps on the transformer over just 2 wraps? Thanks, 73s.

[@28chicagovideogate50]

It just works on one and two pills. Any more pills and we go down to two wraps on the big transformers and three on the small. Hope this helps. 73’s.

carbide circular saw works well on aluminum (careful it kicks back worse than wood)

[@Mrjokerman]

28 where did you get that flaring tool. Send me a link wear it can by one

[@danieljohnson8437]

Years ago?

[@goatsinker347]

That can’t be right! And why would you do that to transistors that are rated for 150 watts at 12.5 volts? At least keep it within a realm of believability. I’d be perfectly happy if the one pill would key 15 watts, and swing to 150-170 watts pep.

[@chublez]

Rating isn't pep buddy go watch some more vijayos.

[@elwyncarrol3883]

I have a question with the HG Transistors do you always use the Type 61 Transformer. Why do some techs only use the 1-1/2 vs 1-5/8

[@electromechanicalstuff2602]

28 you need to change your channel setting brother,it’s set on content made for kids. It’s keeping your content from being shown I. Searches. Also I need a clown built 4 pill,I’m sending you all my Pill box building supplies,parts,odds and ends. Since my surgery I don’t have the fine motor skills to build a DC circuit. I’d soon you and the clown help some folks out with all the shit I got.

Does anyone out in YouTUbe land know by any chance if I gotta be workin' or have some knowlegde - math or otherwise - beofre trying building amps on my own, especially at my age? I am posting this to you American cousins. Typing from just accross the peace bridge across from Buffalo NY at Fort Erie Canada. Victim of I don't know what - bring brought bakc to work according to my dad.😀

[@seeharvester]

I don't know your age or your level of experience, but if you don't know what you're doing, you'll probably end up destroying some stuff learning. And those transistors probably aren't cheap.

[@johnnywood8082]

Can you guys do something with an SSB delay?

[@JoleenHurley]

Why are u overcomplicating a simple single transistor amp with stacked torroid yransformers ? Single transistor amp can be built woth aorcore coil on the input and the output. Need torroid for collector choke. Bit u dont need the stacked transformers for one transistor amps
