Where is Rob Robinette?
« on: November 02, 2021, 08:57:31 am »
Lately I can't connect to robrobinette.com. I get 'Failed to open page.'

Is this just me or does anyone have more info?

Hmmm, my browser just hangs . . . I didn't have the patience to wait for an error message.

He had an equipment failure and might be down a couple days.

I found an article that said he died in a motorcycle crash in Nashville. I didn't know him personally, but His website was a major resource for me. My heart goes out to his family and friends. This was a great loss for all of us. If anyone has downloaded his site, can you please make it available to the rest of us.

Update, it looks like I had the wrong Rob Robinette. Sorry about that Rob! He appears to be very much alive. I'm not sure why we can't access his website. I hope it's back up soon. I reference it on a regular basis.

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Rob posted on Facebook a few days ago that his web site may be down a while

I have his .diy boards in the diy library here if you are looking for those

If Rob Robinette's site goes down, as it seems to reasonably often, you can find it here
https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://robrobinette.com
just select the most up to date save point, and go from there.

The most recent working link will pop up a calendar date with a date snapshot.
