    Steve i just read your post regarding illness. Want to wish you all the best but also that i too had the same diagnosis in 2021. Same treatment, same symptoms. It's tough but manageable. I guarantee you they have mastered the treatment, and you will recover. I'm in remission, since 2022 treatment ended. Regular checkups and some anxiety when they are due but apart from that i am back to 95% myself. The other 5%is learning how to cope with the worry. You have a lovely wife to help and that is worth a lot. I cannot express enough that positivity is key. Keep taking the meds exactly on time. Thank you for continuing with your videos and know exactly how you feel. ❤

    @Nobe_Oddy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I LOVE seeing videos JUST LIKE THIS!!! where you pick up a broken piece that's old and (semi)collectable, fix it up after going over the condition and also fixing the defects/damage (like the sticker peeling up a bit) and then selling it for a profit... There are a few channels that do this, but I don't watch them because they aren't about fix the electronics - they're just about fix iy up and reselling.... So if you were to include YOUR buying price and what you SOLD it for then you'd have the FULL CIRCLE and THAT is what's appealing about THSOE videos.... so you'd be COMBINING those type AND your typical electronic fix..... That would be a REALLY COOL addition to your channel occasionally... like a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly special episode... And you go over all/any of the sales that have happened with those specific collectable just on the 'special episode' (I'd say you do it bi-weekly, buy ON TOP of your typical uploads.. (but you CAN'T change your existing schedule because then you might upset THOSE viewers that look forward to Friday because thats when TronicsFix uploads his show.... you know what I mean?)

    I remember one of my first repairs.. I cleaned the contacts thoroughly. Probably disassembled more than I needed to.. but it worked! That moment was so magical! I get the same feeling now whenever a piece of previously-broken tech springs to life at the end of a repair!. Love this!!

    The one thing I am thinking about with that battery cover is to create a schematic for people to 3D print a new one. Granted there probably isn’t a need to have someone print a bunch because of how old and maybe how many units are out there. Having the schematic online would probably be the best option if someone wants to do it.

  • @chfgn

    About 15 years ago I gave a local collector $400 for an original full-size DK Jr cabinet and he threw one of these tabletop units in for free. It’s surprisingly fun to play. It’s designed in a really clever way to provide a vibrant color backlit screen using only the ambient light in the room.

    An "unadjusted" movement is a movement where no attempt has been made to ensure that the daily error rate in several orientations (positions) have been minimized across the positions. An "adjusted" movement, therefore, has had some extra care in ensuring that the variance in accuracy between several orientations is minimized.

    There's something heart warming about these old things coming back to life. Go for it!

    As far as I know, no jewels means there are no timing crystals which is why it also says unadjusted . It means you can't change the speed by changing the crystal. I could be wrong though. Anyway, the condition is amazing considering it's age. It's a shame we cannot get BW-100 here in the UK, but, to be honest, I have always used DW-40 with no consequences. Sorry to hear about your illness. I really hope it's something that you can get better from.

      The no jewels is in reference to the fact that it has no jewels. High end mechanical watches often use jewels as bearings so since this has no moving parts, there are no jewels :)

      It's actually to do with import tax. A timepiece that has jewels and is adjusted and calibrated, like a fine mechanical watch, attracts a higher rate of import tax. This Nintendo game does keep and show the time of day, so therefore it can be classified as a timepiece. Some of the handheld versions of Nintendo LCD games were actually called Game & Watch.

    I love these videos! These old tech items were so neat, really sad we dont see these anymore (not from legit companies, that is!)

    Oh the manuals and box(while rough) does add a lot of value to this!
