- Mark repairs a 1979 vintage guitar effects unit, which features a super rare Bucket Brigade Delay chip - the Reticon SAD1024. It doesn't go well, and did Mark get scammed???? FAKE component alert!

Wow, not only an electronics genius, but Mark also plays guitar 👍👍👍
Yes, I was impressed, he's awesome!
Shreds, slays, treats the women right,
Inspired by Kirk Hammet
I must admit I had a Bubbles moment there.
soldering skills say this is no genius. also why does circuit say copyright ralf metzger, and nobody notices the breaches of IP.
Watching People actually manefacturing stuff instead of buying or outsourcing is awsome!!!! please more!!!!
Is there no end to your talent. I’m very impressed with your efforts on this one Mark.
Just what every electronics workshop needs, a test strat.
Before this channel, you couldn't easily find it all together in one person: knowledge, charisma and sensibility. Mr Mark, you're all of those things, your channel is one of the best here and I look forward for more from you, sir. Well done!
Etching your own board, finding a functioning chip replacement. You're a beast Mark , thank you! I've been watching your videos for the last several evenings
“Better discharge the static…Not that there is any in this country” 😅
Static in every country and your country shines out in fiddlers, guitarists, unt Der flooglewelt.
I can build and troubleshoot electronics, and I have a lot of fun with it. However I can testify that Mark is on a completely other level. Great to witness this proficiency. I am also impressed with the cheerful easygoing attitude. Cheers Mark
That’s why I loved fault finding as nothing quite replaces that buzz you get when you switch something on after a repair and it works ! It takes a certain type of person to be a technician.
It’s addictive lol. The more complicated the repair the bigger the buzz.
At nearly 70 I can’t do delicate work anymore due to trembling hands and it’s so annoying, but I still have all the test gear !

Just a thaught....... you could consider teaching a youngster who wants to learn, and he/she could be your hands?
Im sure you could still get work if thats your profession, as mentoring someone is as though you continue your work through someone else, and eventually you could hand over your business to that person who would continue to provide help to your community 🙂 ?......
The fake chip has marks on top showing the original top surface was ground off. The half moon indicating pin 1 is also shallower than normal. Amazing effort rolling wire to make flat pins!
Not as consistent but an iron strip and a hammer will also do the trick. But Mark's way is more elegant and professional.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 You could also use a socket with long pins
@@tim0steele I'd have just made them longer and soldered them into a vero board, them solder the pcb on the other side of the legs, and snip off the legs to the right length. But to each their own of course. Mark's skills are top notch.

It’s always a great day when Mend it Mark uploads a new video. Thank you!
Never seen handmade pcb's before - I've just been educated AND entertained! Thanks man, you're a modern day McGyver!!
Wow solid work! 😀 Lovely bringing a device like this back!
Glad you liked the T strippers! Ideal entered the market with abrasives for DC armature maintenance and branched out. Glad you got some nice sounds out of the Mistress.
That really took me back to my CDT lessons, I loved making printed circuit boards like that 😊
“Night after night, who treats you right?, Baby, it's the guitar man”. 🎸
Brilliant! Love watching your repairs - its the chuckle that's the icing on the cake!
Im so glad i found this channel. Please more of these. So cool.
As usual - very clever and resourceful repair. I think I might have added a power light as a bonus.
A 12 volt led doesn't cost the eart, and a hole isnt that akward to drill with a "splodge" of glue 😂😅😂😅😂
Hi Mark, as a fellow engineer from Walsall I just wanted to thank you for the enlightening videos ,keep up the good work, every day is a school day 😆👍
Is there no end to this man's talents ...........................................
to align all the legs before soldering them you can use a spare socket and press the legs into the spare socket and then solder all the pins at the same time.
I used to work in a small music store in the 90s, and I had to deal with very similar repairs as this one. To be honest, I would have just hard wired the different chip with jump leads. Crude, but effective.
I like your way better.
Any machine you don't have?.... lol Thank you Mark for letting us walk along with you on these projects. Sorry about the fake chips. Really enjoy watching you work your magic. Thank you from the US!
Jasus! As always an amazing repair and engineering work Mark.
First time I’ve seen you play, no end to your talents.
You’ve opened up a big can here Mark with your work around.
You’ll be bombarded, I’d like to jump in first, will you make me one of those boards for my HH Clockwork Concubine, I’m on my last 1024A
Might try buy some 512s as spare.
Keep up the brilliant work.
Thank you

The counterfeit market makes things super frustrating! I loved that you made your own PCB for the replacement.
The SAD1024 is virtually unobtainium. They sound great for guitar, though. I've made a pop-in replacement using more modern chips, as have others.
They're obtainable, just not at a pricepoint that's comfortable for people who don't really, really, need them.
Подумал - Сашка Лаэртский, ан нет. Но когда в конце заиграл на гитаре - засомневался ) Спасибо, вы очень крутой спец!
That old peddle has a nice warm sound to it. Your nice little modification board was the most interesting bit of that process. Nice work.
You have a lovely workshop, it would be interesting to do a little mini- tour of it in a video one day. BTW - I love your guitar, lovely colour.
... and you're a muso as well! I'm more impressed every day Mark 😆 Possibly the most impressive tech repair channel ever mate, love your work!!
Love your craftsmanship and cheerfulness!
Fantastic repair - top notch work as always. So glad I found this channel. Keep up the great work!
Once again, a most enjoyable video
Chris

Your process for making these videos is spot on. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your work, Mark. The breadth of gear you cover is awesome I can honestly see you going a long way!
Amazing to see you at work there Mark and we are all in awe of your broad skills re electronic manufacturing and testing.
I am impressed with your road to succes towards half a Mistress with satisfying result!
watching you work your magic, i regret not getting into electronics when i wanted to, as a young electrician apprentice. Now im just a sparky, but playing at fixing amps as a hobby, learning from you at nearly 50. Thanks Mark
You are a pretty incredible dude. You've reignited my love of electronics, that is, the knowledge of each component, identifying circuits. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic repair as always, very skilful, I love the way you never give up, I thought that would have been a gonner, but you did the business, well done.
Amazing work, a lot of different skill sets there. Nice Work Mark !!
Great repair Mark. I learned a lot from your channel so far. Keep up the good work 👌
Hi , I just want to say how much I enjoy watching , you are brilliant at making the very technical repairs interesting and fun.
TOP shelf, mate. You've got skills!
Great vid Mark! I love your innovation!
Ahhh Mark, I have to go to bed ffs! Oh well. 30 minutes less sleep can't hurt.
@monsieurtechnical it's not his fault anymore now, of course I fell down the classic youtube rabbit hole 😁
Awesome work mate, really enjoying your show. Cheers.
Very very impressive repair Mark, simply fascinating skills.
11:12 Thanks for the great tip of floating the non-drilled single sided PCB on the etchant!
Amazing Mark, you really excelled this time. And You play Guitar too, no end to your talents. Keep 'Em Coming.
I've watched many of your videos Mark .. and there's always another bit of kit! Wire roller ... chip straightener - awesome
Great content and advice…
Cheers Mark!
Very nice Mark. Enjoyed the repair.
Awesome as always... Really enjoyed this one thankyou
Love your work Mark and so well explained
Who would know that one of the most involved repairs I've seen you done would be of such a simple circuit! Always a pleasure to watch your vids Mark
A great repair again, Mark!
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.grz
A man of many talents, well done
What an absolute pleasure to watch somebody who actually knows what they’re doing 😎 Shame you’re maxed out with work, Mark - I’d love to send my old EHX Deluxe Memory Man in…
Thanks, Mark. You are an excellent Engineer
Astonishing knowledge and skill - Brill
Omg, nice guitar! This was a fun episode.
Good repair Mark and nice guitar playing at the end.
Your approach is spot-on. Top-notch work, Mark. I guess I’m gonna get that mechanical workshop going after all :)
Amazing! Seems as some of your other subscribers had the same thoughts as I had like is there no end to your talents in repairing items but also being able to play the guitar. Really enjoy watching your videos - great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Any other technician would say " irreparable", but not Mark. Greetings from Brazil.
Such men need the world. thank you for your value.
Fantastic video. Well done. Mike Matthews would be proud!
Fantastic job Mark thanks for sharing 🦘
This is SUPERB video. Thanks for sharing it.
Lovely repair, so impressed
Much enjoyed as usual, Mark.
Thanks again for a great video Mark!
Love to read those schematics with you. Takes me back, very very satisfying.
I know that feeling when you plan and prepare everything, but at the first switch - things don't go to plan... Kudos for sticking with it and working out the solution!
Thank you Mark, another great vid.
Very nice work as always! I didn't know you played a little Guitar! Enjoyed this video as always and thanks for sharing!
Greetings from Germany! I like your nice way of explaining electronics. It`s calming to watch you!
Keep it up!😀
Amazing work, sir!
Thanks for another great video, I learn something every time!
Intricately customised electronic repair..love it !
A man of many talents!
