  ERROR: &nbsp;At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jUitplchok&amp;t=206">3:26</a> I mistakenly describe the primary leads (to the output tubes) as being &quot;secondary leads&quot;.

  Uncle Doug might be the coolest cat on YouTube.....And DEFINITELY one of the best instinctive teachers. Thanks for another informative video, sir.

  Of course Uncle Doug has a slammed ratrod in the driveway… not only is he funnier and wiser than us, but is cooler and more humble as well. &nbsp;Thanks Doug, I will be binge watching your videos for decades.

  This is the best hands down the best video explaining impedance ratios, in a way that an idiot (me) can understand it. I can tell you are a teacher in your profession. Thank you!

  I learn more from Uncle Doug than any electronics instruction source. &nbsp;His smooth voice, combined with &quot;down to basics&quot; approach are just great. &nbsp;The levity of adding in a current cat status here and there are just great. &nbsp;I could listen to him all day, and have learned so much. &nbsp;He goes into technical aspects effectively, and doesn&apos;t insult as he goes way back to basic concepts to ensure he&apos;s grabbing all audience members regardless of their own knowledge base. &nbsp; These are just great.

  A very &quot;in depth&quot; look at OP transformers. This is a tried and true method of matching unknown transformer tubes to speakers, but it was not well known, until now! Your presentation was easy to understand, although nothing about impedance matching is easy, you did an excellent job of explaining it all. You truly are a wonderful teacher! Whether your students knew it or not, they were extremely lucky to have had you as their teacher! You did what I would have done with the Rat Rod. Painting the wheels did not take away from the Rat Rod&apos;s over all look. The mods you did were spot on! You are almost ready to start racing it. Thanxz

  Bless you Uncle Doug for sharing your wisdom with us!!! I have some organ transformers from a yard sale and did not know where to start. I also have some organ tube chassis with large transformers on them.

  Dude, I love your channel, your literally handing down the knowledge of tube amps to people. I&apos;ve repaired a few amps off you sharing your knowledge, thank you so much!
