Single Channel Circuit

Each channel uses two OP27s and an PA41. The signal from the offset pot and the BNC on the front panel are combined and head into the first OP27 which appears to be in an inverting configuration. This heads into a second OP27, I didn’t traceout the feedback on this but assume it’s a buffer for the PA41 and either it or the PA41 re-invert the signal. Comments welcome!
