This repair was inspired by the incredible teaching and passion I've learned from "Mend it Mark", "Mr Carlsons Lab", and Dave McDonald at "12voltvids". Mark's good nature and systematic repair methods have shaped how I diagnose vintage electronics, while Paul's deep technical knowledge and professional techniques continue to elevate my understanding of circuit theory. These channels represent the gold standard of vintage electronics education - thank you both for sharing your expertise and inspiring a new generation of repair enthusiasts.    / @menditmark      / @mrcarlsonslab      / @12voltvids
