Yeah, that’s it. No idea what a diode is or does, or how a diode pack is used to rectify ac to dc.
Never hand-wound a choke for a crossover.
Never recapped a vintage receiver.
Never replaced a Philips sub-assembly in a CD player.
Never modified a handheld scanner to pick up 800Mhz when it was a cellular frequency.
Never built an FM transmitter or linear amplifier from scratch.
Can’t tell a resistor by the color bands.
Nope, I know nothing about what a diode is or why it might tie in to someone talking about a “1-way” or “exit” fuse.
You didn’t get a basic diode joke and think I’M the one who doesn’t understand components? Yeahhhh…
