You can put one of tha magnets to the screwdriver arm and leave it there = screwdriver is magnetic

That sure looks yummy.

Try to degauss the bits and then magnetize them again.

This one may be from the early 90s? 1991?

I liked the flash player they had lots of neat programs for it maybe if you got a older computer they might have still have a version of flash you can put on it I liked shockwave player to

Sony is dropping support on all optical media blue ray maybe DVD

It aint got no gas in it moment. Iykyk

Flooding the back of the battery with alcohol makes the adhesive give up and the battery comes out easy, its the same as laptops they wont startup without a battery

Try connecting the power directly to the battery terminal on the tablet

Those last two caps, being next to the switch mode heat sink, wouldn't it have been better to leave the legs long on them so can sit a little proud and away from the heat sink, into the top of the shell.

10:31 guys wanna see smoke holy s**t. Can we do some more 😂

I thought you had a blackberry phone powering the clock channel

Hi Dave can you tell me where did you buy that ESR Capaitor meter I assume it was a kit you builded. DO KNOW WHO STILL SELL THEM. Where could I aquire one of these uints. Thanks!

Also i have let the gas out of a blaoted battery before by putting a ring of superglue around before i poked the hole, farted the gas out and immediately sealed it with scotch tape. Worked flawlessly.

I think a voltage divider from the 5V source with an additional diode could help make the device think there's a good battery with 4.2V connected that just doesn't pull any current cause it is "full". That could maybe work. Edit: Ahh nice approach!

I'm wondering what electricity bill you have with tons of stuff plugged in 24/7 ?

I had a BlackBerry years ago. I loved it alot. Loved the keyboard and it allways just worked. Kinda sucked for RUclips but it always did the job. At the end of its life i used to have to periodically jumpstart the battery with a 9 volt to get it to charge.

I didn't know flash was dead. I saved swf files on my computer for games and stuff. I haven't tried opening a swf for years. I wonder why they removed flash? I need to look that up. Edit: I read it ended in 2020 for security reasons. But an article indicated a person can still play them after downloading a third party app.

Looks like they kicked it a few times I hate UPS and FedEx I swear they purposely try to break everything.

So long story short some bonehead repaired the machine wrong the machine can play its own recordings in colour because it recorded on the tape wrong. Other tapes don’t match so it shows no colour. Got it.

When you ASSUME. Great repair and video!

Do the same to the playbook as you did with the phone with the power hack should work the same :)

I think I had that VCR back in the day. The power supply was weak, so it took 20 minutes of it cycling the power before it became stable. Seems like Panasonic has a lot of weak power supplies for a while. I didn’t know Panasonic made it for RCA, but that explains a lot.

Did you own a BlackBerry smartphone before? And what other phones did you have?

When you get the clock working again I'd love to see a how-to on it

If the video heads were installed backwards, such that the A head was reading the B head's tracks and vice versa, would the different azimuth of the tracks cause an issue? Each head would be trying to read a video track recorded with the azimuth 12° off.

Dave can you adjust manualy your recording level on camera?

👌👌👍👍😉😉😊😊🌹🌹

Timing is everything.

did Sony make blue gear on purpose brockable?

Maybe I’m missing it- but I’ve been trying to find your contact information… I have a Sony cd/fm/cassette player that has sentimental value to me that needs repair. (Someone forced the cr door open and now nothing will play). I’m not even sure you are receptive to work orders from your videos but I was hoping.

Maybe the reason that the service department closed was because of too many stupid mistakes like this and of course, that means annoyed customers that have to come back.

Can I ask you for something *if it's possible?* maybe you try a background noise suppressor before publishing videos? I have to use earphones and the noise is really annoying. Thank you

I recently found out the reason these 711B machines load and unload so slowly is because the sun and planetary gears tend to seize up. Another contributing factor is the tension of the belt for the cassette carriage. I just replaced these gears on an SL-T30ME I got recently and now it loads and unloads like a new machine. By the way the SL-2710 service manual is dated August 1983 so that gives you an idea of the age...

I agree it is overly complex, but to me it is a mechanical marvel; watching it moving is mesmerizing. I had to fix a TOTL Panasonic with the KII mechanism (I remember it had an extra toothed belt to speed up operations or to allow jog shuttle operations) with two broken gears (teeth snapped off). Once lubed and re-timed the tape transport was working perfectly. I honestly hated a lot more the membrane keyboard which was causing false contacts and locking the machine up (remote included).

Betamax what a dream

No one know VCR would still be in service

Please, no hand. I want to record this 😂

VCR When it was in service, was there gear issues? Regularly maintenance

My other reolink cameras have the ability to manually turn on the spot light

02:02 - I keep seeing temperatures in the greater Vancouver area that I could barely call anything comfortably warm, in Windy. What gives?

I had a fair amount of capstan motor problems on these decks over the years. The capstan motors had to work pretty hard handling the rewind and fast forward of the tapes. Usually the tell-tale sign was the motor screeching during FF and REW.

I’m surprised you didn’t check the caps in the power supply. Those caps were likely cooking for decades as the unit sat there plugged into AC and the clock and standby circuits were essentially on.

Dave, I have a few of these, all working fantastic thanks to your videos. But on one, the front bulb for the display backlight is slow to light up when first powered up. Any suggestions how I can fix that?

There were several variants of the G mech over the years. Most of them use an orange-colored toothed belt as apposed to the rubber belt this one has, as well as an exta half-load arm that brings the tape over the A/C head for counter readout during FF/REW. AG-1970 uses the GII mech, AG-1980 uses the K mech.

This unit has Faroudja video processing circuitry (mentioned on the back of the unit). I was curious what your thoughts are on this, was this on other decks back in the day?

My grandpa built the Titanic, that's why it sank.... Not bad... I gave this vid a like because it's educational. I still repair a lot of things 12voltvids fix, and I learn everything one needs to know from ur vids. Thanks 12voltvids.. RE

I am fascinated by garbage, all that clockwork to make use of 1 motor and 1 motor only.

Thanks for nothing
