Philips 22AH180 Repair/modding

I made a little writeup about my adventures with a Philips 22AH180 "Black Tulip" TOTL tuner here.

Enjoy!

How do you like the tuner so far ? Is it a super tuner or just an om tuner ?

 

[PE9ZZ]

With the display fixed I like it much better.

I have the same tuner, can the performance with the wide ceramic filters be improved somehow ? Any recommendations?

Do you experience performance issues?

 

[PabloTincho]

Not really but since I saw your graph I was wondering if it is a way to improve the tuner ?
Also the original spec, the distortion is high, do you know why ?
