Bedini 100/100 restoration.[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Hi, I've recently bought a Bedini 100/100 power amp that has only one channel working. Before I trace out the circuit from the PCB's, does anyone out there have a copy of the circuit schematic diagram please? ( or even a similar bedini ) Much appreciate any help. you can email me off list if you like: cheers, Paul. |

His explanation of the huge levels of crossover distortion in both channels of his (contemporary, many years ago) amplifier wouldn't have appeased a third grader. Total BS. My strongly held suggestion is to trace out the circuit and to then begin an examination of how the amplifier should have been made. Then make the Bedini like that.

My goodness, i'm starting to get the picture! "He does not work from a circuit diagram, though he knows how to read them and compose them. For him, the positioning and balancing of components comes as naturally as one who is gifted at playing the piano by ear. He can "compose on the fly." http://peswiki.com/index.php/PowerPedia:John_Bedini is this for real? this could be a bizarre ride. any other tips ? chs, Paul.

Bedini 100/100 restoration.[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
In the years that I used to go to the CES show in Las Vegas, the times I
listened and talked with John Bedini, I felt he would fit right in with the vegas faithful. On his amplifiers, he bragged that by grinding off the tops of the power transistors and filling them with his magic compound they sounded better. As I remember all of his designs were based on quasi-compentry designs. But its been many years since I've seen the insides of any of his designs. Barry Streets wrote in message ...
