There is a name for that. It's "munching" (edit - Muntzing) or something. Named after a USA electronics company owner that would walk down the production line and randomly cut out components.
If the device still passed the QA, the component was removed from the BOM.
They all still work ok. TUAC were always changing their circuit designs. I've got 5 TD150 amp modules that are all different, ranging from a few resistors to number of transistors
Yes. Thanks, I will get some new components today but not the 330pf. Must order again. Some components have the wrong value on board. so I will try follow it around and check. Where do you find the R33 wirewound resistors?
