Knowledge, Time, and Money
It all makes sense now...
Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives, sales people, accountants and especially liberal arts majors." This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two well known postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time.
Since: Knowledge = Power,
then Knowledge = Work / Time,
and Time = Money,
then Knowledge = Work / Money.
Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge.
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

Yeah, i'm a lousy shot.
No idea how to post a pic that's sharp enough when i downsize from 8Mb.
The white stuff on top consists of 8 really thin teflon layers.
Open style, but once it's set it'll wear a tightfitting dust cover.
Has an 8pF trim range across 180 degrees.
(but: see the pretty thing in that mirror there)

That shot seems like a focus problem to me, unless is cropped from much wider shot. Even than it seems like a focus problem. I would suggest to use if you have ether macro lens, or macro setting on your camera, and than shoot the full frame of the subject - cap in this case. There are no problems in downsizing the large image, so it is irrelevant how big your file is to start with. It is a question of optics.

maybe few matched outputs ?
by mistake soldered in Shunty?
It was not mistake but to have the exactly the same amount of dreky curent going to shunts in order to have the same temperature on all heatshrinks

yeah ....... pretty engineer - like approach .......
"look woman, it isn't hole of my soldering iron - in your new carpet ; that's probably factory defect ......... "
