Your metal bench makes me nervous. The likelihood is you are in contact with it when working so your body is earthed if the bench is earthed, so if you touch B+ the current will flow through you. With my wooden bench and floor in a dry environment, I could touch B+ and the bench and not get a shock. I need to touch two different voltage parts to get a shock, not just one. The other possibility is that your bench isn't earthed, so it takes on a voltage from anything that touches it, like a live chassis.

No complaints about long videos here! Thanks for posting it! Cheers - Luther

A wisted turd might be a reason to call your doctor.

Amazing review, aerospace engineer here

You don't have to get rid of your current camera to add another one to your setup. You can use one for one and the other for the other.

This was a great educational video with lots of troubleshooting of weird issues Vern.

The 474 should have been 473, (if wanting to use a 0.047uF). Makes you wonder who these people are! They obviously DON'T understand electronics!!

This one was a stubborn one, but worth the struggle. I enjoyed the video, thank you! Also, you don't "talk too much". Nonsense - it's interesting to follow your train of thought and fault finding.

I wouldn't doubt it's measuring flow. their pitcher style water purifiers used to have an interesting mechanical thing inside that measures how much water has flowed through it to determine when it's time to change it. there could be a second hall effect sensor soldered to the pcb on the back side to pick up the turbine pulses. they also could be doing some timing as well, so that once a new filter is installed it will start a timer and "expire" it after 6 months or whatever in addition to measuring flow. it probably sleeps and only wakes up once a second or so to test the hall sensors to save power and will power up fully when it sees a change in the sensors.

A long video but I didn't notice. Quite a can of worms there Vern, well done sorting it all out. It's interesting to watch the radio operation come together a small step at a time. Every small repair resulted in getting closer to a functioning radio. Good watch, thanks Vern 👍🙂

Perfect length video. Learned some stuff too. Thanks, Vern!

Love your self-deprecating humor man. Learned a few things along the way with you. Thanks Vern.

As of a few months ago Napa auto parts still stocks the light bulb socket button pigtails, they have for as long as I have been alive. I rarely if ever repair them if the wire is broken off them. I buy them in bulk and just replace them.

Still pretty cheap over here Vern. Very interesting testing, beyond my pay scale 😊

Complex for a water filter 😀 we used to have a facet outlet aerator that changed the colour of the water via a LED depending on the temperature. It only had a service life of a couple of weeks but was fun for the Grandkids while it lasted.

Can you help me make a voltage step down circuit for 1950 Buick. My battery died while out and I couldn’t accept a jump from any 12 volt car. Thanks

These tiny handsets must have very small tubes inside them :-) but they work very well. Excellent review, very thorough and fair. If I was the supplier of this equipment I'd be happy. Actually I'm interested to see what else they offer. Thanks for sharing!

What's the power output for GMRS?

Amen! The English is terrible on most products from China or Japan! I had a couple of Boefang, and the instructions were terrible! I asked for help, but I just got what was in the manual from them...NO HELP!!! I tossed the Boefangs!

I have Baofeng Ham handheld it looks a lot like yours !

Great to see your content again! 😀

I'm from Finland and yes, I know Red Green 😀

Hi, i want to ask what you recomend for weller standard but the secondary winding is aluminium and i cant use copper because it will oxidize right away what would be your sugestion?

One of the biggest scams perpetrated on the American people. If you think about it, they spent more money on an indicator to tell you to change the filter. The reason why there’s more money to be made in replacement filters than what the unit is worth. You’re probably contaminating the water more than you’re actually filtering the water. Because the water sits in the plastic, it’s leaching PFAS and the particulate from the filter is adding to the contaminating water.

That certainly was entertaining. Amazing where we find computers (microcontrollers) these days, even in simple devices. The disassembly was indeed most satisfying with Clivesque rigor and perseverance. "Give it to Clive, let him bleed" ~ hilarious. With Clive there's a possibility of some adult beverages and mild profanities, as well 🙂

So, you're saying the R-everse gear is on the R-ight side? The drive pulley goes clockwise, cause the engine does.. 😂😂😂 you're working on my Yardman... Scored it for $200 after I fixed the sellers truck. The blades had been on there for so long they were 16 inches long (new ones are 18 inches.) put more grease in all the spindel bearings. Straightened the speed control parts. Put the right plug in. Started it up got fifty feet bogged the blades and killed the engine. Went to restart and the key switch blew apart internally ☹️🤣

Good evening, Excellent kinetic disassemble Clive will be very please you have investigated this device and made a good fist of it. My suggestion for removing rusty screws from plastic, touch screw with your ' Sol - der - ing ' iron until loose then unscrew. Lithum primary cells last about five years with circuits like this which go to sleep. Do explore more stuff your video edit was on point . Radio mech > Glasslinger Shango66 . Best from the Brits who have been soddering longer than Americans.

I'm a fan of all these OLD radios 📻!! Just came across your RUclips channel and subbed 👍 to it!! Too bad 👎, they don't make the good old things they used to. Just junk at Walmart that lasts less than 5 years. Please keep these GREAT radio videos coming!!Your friend, Jeff!!

Great radio repair series with some good tips. I think the owner will be very well pleased.

I got kenmore dryer and got a code F22 I changed tje part u got plus the other one beside it and still same thing can u help me out

Thanks for your reply on my carb question. My starter drags when I try to crank my yard machine tractor. Do you have a video on replacing it? Would the solenoid cause this or should I replace the starter? Thanks in advance.

Have you run across an issue with the audio on the FT-897D dropping off? It seems only on 10m.. occasionally, SSB signals (audio and s-meter readings) are greatly diminished. If I key and then unkey the radio, the audio and s-meter readings return to normal. Issue comes and goes.. may be good for 2 minutes, 2 weeks, or 2 months before it happens again. Possibly a filter issue? Radio is ~20 years old and I am the original owner. I see no direct contact method on your RUclips channel. The radio, otherwise, appears to be fully functional.

Haha. The only intelligent thing I can add is that the original tips have a cross section of 2.3mm x 2.0mm = 4.83 sq. mm. A number 12 wire has a cross sectional area of 3.46mm. A number 10 wire has a cross sectional area of 5.3 sq. mm. The resistivity of a # 12 wire is 1.588 ohms / 1000 ft. and a #10 wire has a resistivity of 0.999 ohms /1000 ft. so by ratio, the original tip should be around 1.097 ohms /1000 ft. I think the #10 wire will be more suitable than the #12 wire to be closer to the original design. I haven't tried the #12 wire but mine works great with the #10 wire on the 100/140 watt gun. Got to have enough resistance on the secondary or you will heat up the inside of the transformer. Heat kills the magnet wire on the primary side.

Hi Vern. You’re wise to leave the tuning selector in tact and lubricate it. I have a 50 Buick and recapped it. It’s working beautifully. It’s very heavy and removing and installing it back because of the position one is working, upside down.

Thanks for your post. Do you do carb rebuild?

71ARMY78 RRFS at the 7th 71 to 73, tech control,

Car radios have always had 262.5 khz IF

That is one beautiful radio for 1946, push button tuning as well 😍 Thank you for the shout out too Vern. I have a US built radio in my next video. Can I say, I don't get why you guys trim the top end of the local oscillator then pad the starting point at 600 or whatever frequency. I know it will end up the same but it seems odd to trim before setting the start point. Anywho... great series and I love that radio, Matt will be very pleased 🙂 Oh... tick for the hot glue and the oval speaker and the 3D printed adaptor plate ✔✔

AT THE 11:47 MARK, YOUR RADIO HAS A STEAM PUNK LOOK TO IT

I am always amazed at radio engineers/technicians abilities to bring old tube radios back to life.

Great video nice repair well done enjoyed this series

Great videos mate keep them coming congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿

Never mind reconing the speaker 🔊. Just replace it with a modern speaker which is 10 times better. The rest of the radio is cool though and very interesting to see this old radio brought back to life 🙂👍

Nice video. Can you share with us the source and part number of the water decal sheets?

Regarding your Canon EOS camera and battery pack, Canon has a DC-adapter and external power that can replace the rechargable battery. This way you can run the camera on mains power and not relay on the battery. DR-E10 is the DC-adapter that goes in the camera in place of the battery. CA-PS700 is the power adapter that plugs into the DC-adapter. BTW, I have a bunch of these batteries lying around after swapping them out for the DC-adapter.

I use fusion 360 as a educator I get to use it and in the classroom we have flash forge !

There are very few people repairing old car radios for the reason "time is money "and they make modern substitutes with modern components ( solid state) with the same or nearly the same radio fronts but not as elegant as an original. That being said thanks for showing that these old beauties still can be fixed up and working again regardless of the cost in doing so. They also sound great when fixed by a competent guy like you Vern.👍👍

I'm not so sure everyone is shooting 4k. The majority is just 720p being upscaled before upload.

Nice job, and I enjoyed watching these episodes.

Nothin wrong with the hot glue on those IF cans. The speakers with the foam surrounds will generate a lot of vibrations in components. The surrounds are for bass response. It’s possible to reduce the bass response by adjusting the tone cap to a higher value. ❤💪 Great video.
