Panasonic TR-003C: One of the smallest CRT televisions ever made
"The Panasonic TR-003C is a 3" Pop-Up TV with Cassette Tap Recorder. It operates on AC or a built in battery. Enjoy TV or record and playback radio on the built-in cassette recorder. Approximately 3 hour operation on a single charge and a 500-hour life span. IC, all solid state, electro-tuning. Complete with battery."
This unit is probably over 50 years old. While this one is in fairly rough shape, it is still functional! The CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display is only 3", one of the smallest CRT televisions ever produced.
Today we take a look at this old treasure and then we take it apart.

The DYMO 1570 is a fantastic embossing label maker that was built as early as 1960, and there are a ton of them still out there making great labels to this day. After my previous video there was a lot of interest in a full "uncut" video detailing the disassembly and reassembly of this label maker. So here it is. Come with me on a journey through the disassembly and reassembly of this classic de...

DIY Fiber Optic Bike Light - On a Key Chain!

Building a Retro CyberDeck Inspired by the TVA
มุมมอง 39K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This project was built using an old Project-or-View slide viewer that I found at a thrift store. I was inspired by it's resemblance to a tiny computer, and decided to turn it into a small, portable, Raspberry Pi powered computer (Pi Deck). The retro aesthetics of the Project-or-View also reminded me of Marvel's Time Variance Authority and the TV Show Loki. So I ran with that as a theme to furth...
Building a LEGO Robot That Can Draw!
มุมมอง 8126 ปีที่แล้ว
Continuing to explore my creativity I challenged myself to break out the old LEGO Mindstorms stuff and make a robot that could draw! It ended up taking the form of a delta bot mounted on its side. It's artistic ability is questionable, but I suppose that I can only blame its creator for that :P I hope you enjoy, give it a thumbs up if yo id :D Subscribe for more DIY projects, cyberdecks, & crea...
DIY Articulating Arm Mount for a Phone or Camera
มุมมอง 156K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Filming and photographing projects is one of the real obstacles to sharing a creation. I've always found tripods and other setups to be cumbersome for filming on a workbench or desk. My solution was the offspring of a work lamp and a selfie stick, and has integrated phone charging with a micro USB cable. Built with minimal tools, this mount is compatible with any 1/4 in UMC attachment will work...
Pretty cool! Love anything retro and giving new life to obsolete objects! Only thing that would have made it even better would have been to put a microdisplay in place of the slide. I guess that would have been impractical both in terms of space and display light levels? Maybe it's possible to remove the display backing and use the original light, or even a small projector?
Glad you enjoyed it! I originally tried using the tiny SPI display in this fashion, in place of the original slide. But it was just not bright enough. Some other people have also suggested using a tiny projector instead, which has the potential of working!
@@ExercisingIngenuity There is a guide on instructables for creating a transparent display by removing the backing, basically turning it into an animated slide! Maybe the image quality wouldn't be great, but will likely look pretty cool :P I'm guessing the original lamp should be bright enough, otherwise there are LED lamps these days that are much brighter. Anyways, your finished project is lovely, good job!
I owned one till thieves found it. Not the smallest required a Lead Acid Gel/Pac rechargeable battery. Rdio cassette pop up 3 inch CRT TV. Panasonic made a 1and 1/2-inch CRT black and white and color pocket TVs.
Good video, but you could have zoomed it a little more on some of the parts to make it more clear how to put them together. But I did use your video to put mine together after taking it apart :)
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it still proved helpful on the reassembly!
Great video. I disassembled my 1570 label maker and repaired, but when I was putting back together I noticed a spring fell out and I don't know where it goes. It is a different spring than the two you have shown in your video. about 2 inches long and solid wire. Do you know where it goes?
Hmmm, I'm not sure. I noticed in this teardown that their dymo 1570 had an extra spring from mine, perhaps that could be it: th-cam.com/video/uqG_mJiZ7Ls/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mkHTMY-UkI5h4PIX
@@ExercisingIngenuity I saw the spring at 1:24 in your DYMO 1570: The Cadillac of Label Makers. Thank you.
Cool
You’re a lifesaver! Took one apart without properly documenting and had trouble putting it back together until I found this video
Glad it was helpful!
Bit sad you are destroying a bit of history. I would have loved to see he device refirbed instead.
Yeah I see where you're coming from!
This is always a difficult quandary for me when working with old devices. Restore, or reuse? Both have their merits in my mind. That's part of why I wanted to document this device in a video, to at least appreciate it and preserve a part of it before repurposing it.
You've saved me stating the same thing... Although maybe I should have made standalone comment so the point is being made more strongly. On the other hand, I suppose we can only complain so much, him being the owner of this machine. At least it was nice to get to see a device I knew nothing about. In that regard it was a fine video.
I have one even smaller. It has a 1" face. No, I'm not talking about the old camcorder view-finder tubes. This is an actual TV with a built-in tuner made by Panasonic.
Very cool! Is that the Panasonic TravelVision? I would like one of those
@@ExercisingIngenuity It is! Model:TR-1010P with a date of April 1983 I had to replace a lot of the capacitors inside along with repair corroded traces to get it to work.
Wow! It's fantastic you brought it back to life, were you able to get a picture on it?
@@ExercisingIngenuityi'd say "to get it to work" defines getting a picture on it
@@ExercisingIngenuity I was! I like preserving this kind of stuff. A bit of a shame that analog TV isn't transmitted around here anymore. Last station held out until about 2018 but all they played were infomercials.
Cant wait for the next one!
Me neither! I'm excited to share it!
Wow
It's very tiny!
Super rad ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Very cool! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you liked it!
solid man, love this
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Even better than the first dymo 1570 video!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Awesome project, well done!
Thank you!
I went to local a Walmart yesterday. In one of the aisles, I saw them - the labelmakers. There was I variety of them, mostly electronic ones, but this thing caught my eyes. It prints labels with the style. Slow. With only 1 font available. But the letters are protruding and look so 60s! This is exactly what I want.
the cutting blades look just like the blades on pencil sharpners.
How much dis one sir
Great project! Do you have a link to the fiber optic cable you used?
Thanks! I will try and dig it up, I actually bought it more than a year prior for another project.
Not cutting through the label + tape is the whole idea. It makes peeling the tape off the label *much* easier. My own Dymo labeller (which I bought in approx. the late 1970s and I still use) does exactly the same.
My understanding is that one blade cuts completely through, the other cuts partly through. As you said it makes it much easier to remove the backing. On this dymo neither blade cut completely through, so you could not disconnect the label from the tape inside the label maker. Amazing you still have one from the 70s!
I just managed to grab one of these at my local trash and treasure market for $10. Its honestly now my favorite label maker
simple and effective, nice work!
Thanks!
Please keep making videos.
I'm planning on it! Stay tuned!
I think that's a feature. It reduces Waste.
So is the one I buy to give to my help to use?
this is beautiful
Thank you!
Thumbs up for the acordeón
Glad you liked it!
about 5 days from seeing this video i now own one, I'd be £30 richer if i didn't come across this video 😆
Congratulations on your new label maker! 🎉 Apologies to your pocket book
got it. Now i need one
this is so cool. i had a similar model as a kid. damn now i guess i have to buy one because nostalgia.
Nostalgia is a powerful force!
Just bought the same exact one brand new in box at theft store for $15 dollars i feel lucky😊
That's an awesome find!
I hope you make alot of nice labels man
i enjoyed the video and the work. im concerned that the wood is pretty easy to cut with an angle grinder/hacksaw if anyone was determined
This is true, however the alternative that we were using before was a stair railing made of crumbling 2x2s. This is at least a step up from that. Glad you enjoyed the video!
you got a PO box? I'll send you a microphone for your voiceovers. Awesome channel--sub'd
This was actually recorded using a RODE VideoMic GO II. Going to have to work on using it as well as my audio mixing. Glad you like the channel!
@@ExercisingIngenuity a bit of unsolicited advice: sit on a bed or somewhere with some fabric/sound dampening (closets work very well) & get a little closer to the mic. use a compressor on the audio in whatever software you're using to make the voiceover a bit more full-bodied. it'll sit nicely on top of your videos even with music. you might need a pop filter/wind screen as well depending on your mic technique while speaking. cheers
@@griefwells Will definitely give this a try. Thanks for the advice!
you have something good going on here. Listen to the feedback regarding audio, and it will be great.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it. Working on the audio 👍
You mean the Mercedes of label makers?
There have been a couple of thoughts on an alternative automotive analogy, perhaps we can develop a system
Amazing build!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
A retro diy computer for monitoring and maintenance of the sacred timeline. How efficient.
I feel so stupid for saying this but seeing these as an adult makes me think of Dexter's Laboratory. Where they were used as weapons. ^^
Hahahaha, never watched Dexter's Laboratory, but they do have a good sci-fi weapon look to them
I had one for so long as a kid and got rid of it... I miss it still.. I'm a retard for letting it go
Can you turn up the music a little more, I can barely hear you
Re do the editing with quieter music, please!!!
very very nice man!!! only thing i would do differently is i would print logo etc on cover with screen printing and than weather it to match the rest of the look
Interesting. You can even tell it's made in a way to be serviceable. I wonder if Dymo would have sold spare parts for it.
it isnt digital , I prefer the embossing though
Nice one dude. New subscriber ✌🏻
Thanks, glad to have you on board!
Love these things! Although I really wish they had the hyphen character. I think some models do, but mine doesn't, so I made my own hyphen key out of a stapler
Yes, a little more punctuation would be nice
Excellent!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
cool
Amazing. So intentional. Even as I said internally, "can't someone unscrew the bolts?" you made freakin custom security caps! Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
