NRG 40W Amp

Post by MiXiN » Fri Jul 10, 2020 10:20 am

Just found this on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224069256074

I remember seeing these in the NRG boxes way back in the 90s, but seem to recall the layout being cleaner & less dense/populated.

Is this a mess or does it look OK?

Looks fine but there is one massive problem with it - the price!

Ahh shit, didn't notice that.

....OK so maybe there are two major problems with it, the first one is most definitely the builder who doesn't have a scooby, and again secondly the price is sky-high.

Nice one fellas.

Was gonna see if he'd drop the price, but I'll leave it alone if he's got a shit rep on here.

One of the trimmers looks like it's in the wrong place as well.

You'd be very lucky if it even worked at all, best to stay well clear of that Cretin.

You would be MUCH better off just buying one of those nice new Nicolas Proctor NXP competition 100w amps from the Dutch RF shop for about 69 quid, not only will it give you about 3 times the power of the NRG board (120w), it will also run MUCH cooler and more efficient. :tup

While on that 40 watt amp I can see there's two versions so which one is the correct nrg version as the other one has lights on for dc in and output power?. If so there only one diagram out there which is for the leds 40 Watts. This picture ehre doesn't have a diagram or nothing for it from what I can gather.
