    A word about the audio quality: See those 2 things clipped to our tops? I invested in 2 x wireless SmartMike+ on Indiegogo to fix past audio issues & avoid doggo cable tangles. Seemed great. Tested great. Finished filming & it had garbled all the audio. 🤦‍♂️ Had to defer to the camera mic which was further away. Next stop wired Rode lapel mics with doggo tangles! 🤷‍♂️

    I hate it when people say "oh just replace the fuse" The seem to forget that a fuse only blows if something else has gone wrong. Replacing the fuse does not fix the problem that caused it to blow in the first place.

    • @Techcraft15
      @Techcraft15 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi, I know, that often something else is broken. But in my experience, the fuse is often in series to a transformer. If the voltage is too high, the fuse immedeatly blows, because the current on the primary circuit is too high. I did not want to upset you.... Sorry

    • @philpem
      @philpem 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I'll absolutely echo that. If someone asks me to repair something and says "I swapped the fuse first - the one in the machine, not the one in the plug"... I'll triple the repair labour estimate. And I'm going to send this video to the next person who argues over the bill! XD
      The old trick with power supply repair is to wire a 100W lightbulb (filament type) in series. If it glows brightly, there's still a problem. Difference is, the current is limited low enough that you can measure and find the problem without the risk of more failures.

      Back in the day (87-89 somewhere in there) one of my jobs required a team of about 20 of us to breakdown a truckload of TV's. Now as you do (as we did) we were using a long stem screwdriver to push under the EHT cap and connect it to earth so that the tube was discharged before proceeding. Well it was one of those really hot and sweaty days in London with no AC. So I had pushed the screwdriver under the cap and one of my workmates came up behind me slapped me on the shoulder of the arm holding the screwdriver (he was just saying hi). My hand must have slipped ( I have no recollection of the actual accident) because the next thing I know is that I'm on the floor with my head resting on the side of the bench. The thing is it wasnt a bench in my row. I was told that there was an almighty crack and I went flying over 2 lab benches (thay are quite tall and I am rather short) I awoke to one of the guys leaning over me asking if I could hear him, I took the rest of the day off. The screwdriver melted the entire head and burned a notch most of the way through the stem where I must have contacted it. I got off lucky, I had a minor burn on a couple of fingers and some small balls of metal embedded into my skin on one finger. Recommended 11 out of 10 :-)

    That blown-up power-supply reminds me the time when I was an IT-technician student. In the summertime me and a friend of mine was learning at a computer store where one of the first jobs they gave us was fixing used power supplies. They told us to measure the transistors first, we didn't even touch the fuses before measuring them. An other trick that tube-amp repairmen often use is to wire a light-bulb series with the unit under test so it will limit the current if the unit has a short circuit.

    To Erik who worked on the set with that computer, I am curious to learn more what all you did with it on set. I love how older film production was done with early computers. I remember reading that the Titanic was edited on DV tape apparently. And then I expect was used to get the time code of the original film and then cut together manually based off the edited timecode. Very fascinating to see the actual computer that was there on set as well. If I could go back in time I'd love to have seen all that. Great job to everyone and thank you all for sharing bits of history.

    I used to repair TV's back in the CRT days and rarely was the fuse blown as a result of a power surge or even lightning strike, it's normally because components have failed and there the fuse plays a role in protecting the AC Mains from being shorted. Some TV's had numerous components blown but the fuse was still ok, and in those cases it generally was as a result of power surge.
    Anyone who comments and just says replace the fuse, knows very little about electronics why stuff happens. Having said that occasionally replacing the fuse can work, always get the multimeter out first.

    1:10 is how you restore the balance in the Pun Force, all around the universe, young Anakin. Watch the Lady, and learn. I must say, that poor Amiga really went through a lot of stuff - it's sad in a way that its integrity could not be preserved, but I'm sure it will live a wonderful second life in Holland. I visited the computer museum in Berlin, I guess I could enjoy a trip to the Netherlands, too. :) Oh, and thanks for the magic fire, Gandalfractic. You made me remember our first C64 power supply, which got *FIZZ* after probably one year, maybe less. Dad went and change the fuse, only to obtain an even bigger *FIZZ*. A couple of days after, a new Commodore Timebomb entered the house. I'm definitely not going to turn on either my C64 or my A1200 once I get them back before accurately inspecting them. Another lovely video, great way to start this year! :)

    Started my Amiga A1200 for the first time in 20 years, or sort of: I had to do it twice to make the video stop rolling at high speed. I expected lower video color performance or an explosion of the caps, but I kept running 24 hours then soon after running 8 hours with perfect performance (except for the the first attempt to get video). Long time ago I owned a "Paravision" or "Panavision" device to turn an Amiga CD32 into an Amiga A1200 (I sold it over 20 years ago along with A600, A500 and SCSI drive to get some more space where I was living).

  • @logansorenssen
    @logansorenssen 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You frankenfished it!
    There's a story behind that term. Many moons ago when I was stationed in Italy, I had an old PC that I rescued out of a skip. For some reason, that machine got dubbed "frankenfish", because I frankensteined it into working and it kinda looked like a fish if you squint (it was an old Compaq Presario).
    I accidentally plugged it into 240v while it was set to 120. I opened it up, swapped the fuse, put it back in, and when I powered up, it ran for about fifteen seconds, and then... Well, what happened to you happened to me, with much smoke, fire and stench. I had this little duster thing that used CO2 cartridges, so I quickly used that as a fire extinguisher. It was quite clear that machine had chooched its last.
    But that's not the end of it! The following week, at work, we got this shiny new super-expensive secure fax machine. I set its PSU to 120V, grabbed a US-style power cable, plugged it into a US-style power strip, hit the switch, and *BANG*.
    Pick myself up, shake off the shock, avoid getting defenestrated by walking my boss through exactly what I just did. Well, now she's boggled too. So we pull up the tiles to see what that power strip is connected to: it's plugged into a US-style extension cord, which we followed for about fifty feet under the floor, to find that the end had been snipped off and an Italian-style power plug had been spliced on and plugged into a 240V Italian-type outlet! On a second look, every single other device plugged into the power strip was voltage-autosensing!
    When I told my roommate about it that night, he said "so you frankenfished the secure fax machine?"
    That's what I've called that kind of error, ever since.

    I'm disappointed that nobody mentioned the series light-bulb trick with power supply repair. You hook a 100W filament light bulb in series (cut the live wire, wire both ends to a lamp holder). The bulb limits the current when you've replaced components, so a small repair doesn't turn into a bigger one. That PSU probably needed a lot of parts... but now, yeah, I'd write it off unless it was *really* special.
