End Of Year Video 2023 Part#2 96 pill

[@emerituse3390]

You got to be dedicated to work on something like that. Dedicated or certifiable maybe...I dunno. LoL! That's a job that just waaaaaay too far beyond my patience. I admire you a lot for taking on this project! Big time admiration, my man!!

[@randyguay7115]

Thts an amazing box. Massive. Everything about it is impressive. Nice work .

[@basicinfo.9315]

Without the pioneers that built these old amps you wouldn't be where you are today. RIP Muscle Man.

[@ad5ez1]

Can you imagine the fine of getting caught on the air with this massive pill box by the FCC?

[@RichardValdez-oc7wp]

Son you have heart to polish that turd and make engineers art! I'm Dead seriousl excellent job😊

[@jessiec4128]

I am a newbie to creating amps. And being this one has 96 pills. WOW. I love talking on side band. And when I was living in Texas, there was a guy talking from New York. He blew everyone away. Nobody could talk over him. I wondered what kind of amp he was using. He was extremely loud! Maybe one like this. Now about this amp. With today's standard, Yes it can be updated much better. You do Awesome work. I Love your videos! Sheet medal breaks down after a while. Not a good metal to use on something like this.

[@gtretroworld]

Really enjoyed that and it’s good to see quality attention to detail, looking forward to part 3..73’s

[@NeedleBender785]

Great video there Luke, I appreciate you giving me a shout out. !!!

[@chrisrowe1886]

With everything going on, and what you started with. The BOX is outstanding...

[@earlblackjackmartinjr5750]

That should be put in a show case and admired instead of using it. AMAZING WORK MR LUKE BBI.

[@TheElectronMan]

I can't get my head around not only the power supply to power this but the feedline and the antenna it is going to take to run it... This is past big boy stuff this is ginormous level...

[@grandpaandlucas7054]

i live in the uk i like your channel and your work is art. if you could build a 500 watt amp with band switching filters i would buy one.

[@JesusGomez-sv4fj]

I love it when you do the Ameritron AL500M I own one and I beat the crap of it its been on my pick up truck for 18 + years its a work horse early model 😊

[@DonkeyStomperProducts]

Looks Way Better, Good Job!

[@earlblackjackmartinjr5750]

Let us know when you decide to key down on that unit so we can unplug my radio and TVs.

[@curtiswest4272]

Illuminati I knew it! He's a bad ass! Congratulations Illuminati you deserve it! But I'll tell you what there's some pretty good guys going all the way down to number 5. 757 builds some really nice amps!

[@MBScott10002]

A1 work BBI...

[@coreyblake9464]

Just now, sitting down to watch this, I've been looking forward to the release.

[@2140BlackCreek]

I am amazed at the depth of your re-work. I shouldn't be, for between the explanations, thought process, and final product Mr. BBI does the near impossible as a norm. Take care of your back man, follow the doctors orders.

[@sumolee1761]

Very nice Mr bbi u r the man 4sure

[@thomasperina2990]

Hello Fellow Amphaulics, Friends, And Supporters Of The World Famous BBI AMPS Channel: When I see some of these amp builders call their work exceptional or state of the art there is only one short response. YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!! IMHO there isn't an amp builder on this earth that can design, layout, perform excellent wire / cable routing, & fabrication like BBI. When you can take a burnt up piece of garbage 🗑 like this amp & bring it back from the dead I don't believe any other RF repair shop would have taken on this project, but BBI DID IT. Even when Luke wasn't feeling well & in constant pain he pushed through the long hours to make this project succeed. When you start off with an amp that had duck tape holding things together you know that it's going to take a lot more than replacing a few pills. Well li looks like BBI PULLED IT OFF IN GRAND FASHION. Well Done Luke, & feel better. TMP, Unit 22, from N.J.

[@MichaelOfRohan]

Anyone who can build an Amp that works is miles beyond any bored tradesman in the way of radio. Everyone thinks what they have is the best, and then they're stuck demanding ridiculous prices for it when it breaks because they convinced themselves they're sitting on a gold mine.

[@thomasperina2990]

[@JamesBronson-hy3rb]

Hello Thomas I have caught COVID I hope all is well with you. I'm not feeling good. God bless you from your friend in northern California

[@thomasperina2990]

@@JamesBronson-hy3rb Hello James HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I hope you get feeling better real soon sir !!!! Since everyone around me has been sick from Thanksgiving & thru the new year I've been working on my radio shack nonstop & getting things ready for those beautiful BBI CREATIONS. Well my home office got smaller because it's all radios & monitors. What I thought would fit in half my office is now the whole thing. Both of the high current electrical lines are in & I've been making wiring harnesses & power distribution box for all the radios. The 2 monitors & the TV are on another circuit but you must anticipate all the cabling & power requirements ahead of time + placement. James it's comming along slowly but so far everything is working out. There is one section just for the BBI creations. Feel better & my best to you & the family. TMP, Unit 22 from N.J.

[@Sloxx701]

Whoever built this originally needs to ease up on the coffee/redbull or maybe try the decaf. I've never seen so much melted insulation from where the iron has bumped into the wires damn

[@earlblackjackmartinjr5750]

I've watched you work your magic for about 8 years now and you are the only one I would want to touch this thing. I know when you are finished what the end result will be.

[@michaelboone5660]

BBI u are an electronics wizard 😎👍

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

No I had very very smart people teach me everything I know

[@michaelboone5660]

Well brother you are still a very talented person to be able to comprehend all what you've been taught I've been into CB radio ever since I was 13 years old I'm 62 years old now and I wish I could learn how to build amplifiers good video really enjoyedit😎👍

Drinking game: take a shot every time Luke says homogeneous. 😂

[@AdamosDad]

I hope the owner has the power supply to run it, without taking BBI's test bench.

[@4nk8r]

I got a couple mini crossflow fans that would probably work sweet on that to move the air through the heatsink

[@thetriode]

Better be sure that the FLIR has a charged battery when you fire this one up. I bet you end up replacing some ferrite in it with as hot as it seems to have been run.

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

You know I've spent most of my day with that thing in my hand. So far I haven't had to replace any Fahrenheit.. Yet..

[@Dreamlgider]

what's the output power of this amp?

[@CarlNichols-l4g]

For an amp that big, how come N connectors were not used for RF out.

[@AfterBurner11]

How many pills does it take to drive this box

[@alexfaught8717]

16 if you want to loaf it. 24 for max potential.

[@HAUNTED-HAM]

This is what we call, “The Pyramid Affect” a bunch of little things add up to one bad thing! Can’t wait to see it done the correct way with today’s tech!

[@darrelldundee7198]

this thing is back .....96 pill???oh god how much does this thing put out. You gotta run a generator on that thing

[@hardhead7056]

One thing you never addres is that you Do Not have to have massive cables feed this amp or Any amp for that matter.. It only depends on how hard you plan to drive it. It this owner only ever wanted to work this box at 20% or 40% percent of it's capacity. That's his prerogative. Not all operators want to run BALLS to THE WALL.. Keep that in mind.

[@buckaroobonsi555]

Amazing! Way to turn lemons into lemonaide!

[@barrybahrami]

maybe a dumb question to you but what's a pill?

[@Slugg-O]

Not dumb. I had the same question once. A pill is a transistor and transistors make power. More pills = more power. 96 pills = lots and lots and lots of power.

[@barrybahrami]

@@Slugg-Othank you

[@BoxBuilderIdaho]

I'm sorry pill is a CB slang word that describes amplification transistor. There are white and round and look like an aspirin so guys call them a pill.. and no dumb question at all

[@TheGmr140]

Nice amplifier 😊

Is their a 128pill

[@jeremyshiver6055]

Hey brother

[@earlblackjackmartinjr5750]

Basically you are starting completely over from scratch which looks like that's the only way possible to fix it. What's it going to take 20 grand for parts. You have more patience than humanly possible or every hour or so you go outside and scream like a banche.

[@airelbluesky]

Half of you work is wrapping your head around the work you have to do

[@electromechanicalstuff2602]

If I owned this amp. I would have said ok take this 96 pill and give me a 32 pill and a power supply in exchange straight up trade. Cus clearly this guy can't even power this when u give it back let alone he's probably trying to jam it into an antron 99 antenna

[@darrelldundee7198]

i dont think he can run with moonraker beams without burning up the coax

[@thomasperina2990]

Your channel has grown enough to warrant a more mature intro. I just dont have 45 seconds to waste waiting for you to get to work. Came for the amps stayed for the common sense.
