Yep, that's where things have headed. Fluffy bullshit to hide the fact that the emperor has no clothes. I was 10 when this video was made, and it's brought back memories and the realization that sometimes too much info/noise is not a good thing.
I share your sentiment. All the old car commercials, military tutorials etc. seem to focus much more on the hard facts and science behind something. Almost as though they've been made to teach.
It started as a film and was converted to videotape in 1980. I remember watching this during a Pace presentation at a company I worked for back then. Pace was in and out of McDonnel Douglas all the time. The rep had a special cart to haul around the projector and demo equipment.
It's a common theme... many years ago, only experts edited films like this. Today, any schlub can make a TH-cam video. Same in the music industry, or other places too. When anybody can do something, the average quality goes down.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 I agree with you completely. Goofs who couldn't tell a basic story to save their lives are posting 30 min youtube videos of comperable junk. This isn't just good video its good narrative and story telling.
This is the best soldering tutorial in the entire internet. I remember watching it several years ago. It was so informative and took my skill on a whole new level. Thank you PACE for publishing and keeping this knowledge online.
It helps a lot that the background sound is removed and only the voice over is heard. Also the redish tint of this video gives away that it's being even more cozy.
You know that this video had to be originally on a reel to reel film. I can almost hear the projector motor playing in the background. My fondest memories of school involve watching films in the classroom. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief when you walked into the classroom and the film projector was there cause you knew it was time to set back and relax.
Stephen Macomber your comment brought back memories. I also loved it when we could convince the teacher to play the film backwards if we had time after class. That was always funny.
Pace Inc. thanks all of you for the comments received over the past several months. Pace Inc. produced these films, "Basic Soldering" and "Rework and Repair" for the industrial classroom and are not product specific. Pace developed the repair procedures in the "rework and repair" program .Setting new standards for advanced electronics assembly rework and repair. Many new SMD process sheets and the latest 2012 systems and stations are available pace world wide.
I couldn't find your "trainee handbook basic soldering for electronics" referenced in your video, not even on your site. Any idea where I can get a PDF version?
Thank you . Pace ( William Siegel) is ahead of his time. He invented many PCB rework and repair processes and the equipment to assist the board tech. Best Marc W. Siegel
I knew even before I started watching that this is going to be super mega awesome. I've watched several of these older instructional films starting in the 1940s all the way to the 80s and they are all fantastic. Clear, concise, to the point. Thank you so much for this. The internet is a miraculous thing.
It also doesn't help that some people that are being taught don't want to learn. So then everything is dumbed down and super vague for everyone that wants to learn.
I know, super late reply...The fact that you had to use the phrase "super mega awesome" proves the point that we are constantly bombarded by tons of hyperbolic bullshit these days and the only way to cut through it is to be even more "super mega hyperbolic".
nah, it’s because some people trying to make the “average up” they think, calling it “good for average people”, and mess up the whole world… I meant Chinese government.
At first I thought this was some sort of 1970s joke video, but this is 10x more professional and explanatory than any modern youtube clips!!! I totally agree with an earlier comment, this does show America in a golden peak of world-leading greatness. So glad I watched this! Thumbs up for the professionalism of the 1970s!! (I'm assuming its the 70s because of the Saturn V's).
Oh yeah, I believe I've seen him in a video like this before where he was standing in front of a giant, life-size motherboard prop. I was like this is totally awesome!
The best video soldering series I have ever seen. Some things have changed but still good advice. Sure, epoxy PCBs might be more robust than the older boards shown here, but making a good 2 second joint still applies.
I was a soldering instructor in the Army and in civilian life. These remind me of the videos we used. They might be the videos we used, I can't remember. Nonetheless, they're the only ones I've seen on youtube that actually show proper methods. For years, I've been recommending them to anyone looking to start soldering prop electronics. Thanks for posting!

Glad there's no one trying to be cool or funny, looking for "followers" on this video. i must say it does look prehistoric but thats why i appreciate it
I love watching these old school instructional videos. To-the-point, pleasant narrator, beautiful hand-drawn animations, nice big label fonts. Old how-tos teach you things without insulting your intelligence.
I like old school videos and the way they present the information. Everything is explained in details and in certain order. Best video I've seen about soldering.
I agree. It's great. The next video should show "why did this solder joint fail"? Also "How doing it wrong while connected to components burns up things". I had to learn from real life. A lot of times you don't get an option to disconnect everything. For sure not in space!
People from the past got a better way of explaining stuff, like this one, not like from howcast who just talk nonsense, this is a very good video now i know what's the use of flux, thanks for uploading this video man, this really help me a lot.
That's because they didn't have to worry about entertaining short attention span morons or offending snowflakes...they gave the information and you either learned it or you didn't. School was pass or fail! No one cared how you felt about it, you want to be an electronics tech? Pass! Oh, this is too tough for you? Here's a shovel! ...Good ole days!
Going on 37 years now. Probably more as I think it was done in the late 70's and converted to videotape in 1980. I saw this back when it was a "New release" :)
I want to thank you for these videos! I've been into hobby electronics and kit-building for more than 35 years (since I was a wee lad in grade school) and even after all those years of soldering, I learned a lot from this series (and now understand the reason behind a lot of other things I'd figured out on my own through experience). You really CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
I'm 73. Been fiddlin with electronics since around 63. Got my ham license in high school around 65. Last 4 years I worked part time building electrics/ electronics for a local power chair outfit. This job was my first experience with lead free. I still have an older Pace desoldering station shown in the video. I have a Metcal station, several Weller pieces, and some Pace equipment.
Very true. And on a similar note. You know you're watching a HughesNet commercial when someone tries convincing you of the benefits of internet access. Honestly, at this point if somebody actually requires coercion to consider subscribing to an ISP, they don't need it, and likely can't even use it. Lmao For those outside the US, or otherwise haven't seen these commercials, HughesNet is a satellite internet provider for very remote rural customers (where hardline broadband can't reach), and every last one of their commercials over the last decade vaguely run down a basic list of "appealing" connectivity incentives, for example: Talking to the grandkids. Reconnecting with old friends. They're nonspecific, but they mean Facebook. Finding recipes for cooking. Watching your favorite TV shows, on-demand. And anything else reserved for the eldest of boomers or perhaps time travelers from the distant past, that have never laid eyes on an elecktronomonical whatchamacallit or whizbang doodad beep-boop box. WHAT BRAND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! Very out of touch marketing, one could say.
I learned this and more at the RCA NASA wireman training center back in 1959. I convinced my former student that soldering was an art, not just a ask. I went from wireman to technician, to engineer. In my early retirement years I Taught college students the art. At one time in my life I was promoted from the tech bench to an office admin position. Within a year I was back in the lab teaching techs inspection skills. Electronics was a great choice in my life for me. Every day at work was pure joy.
Thank you! I was looking through other basic soldering tutorials and they all treat the viewer as though they have prior knowledge. THIS is the video for a guy that needs things spelt out from A-Z.
+Dean Johnson I couldn't find a local source for quality items for soldering, either. Try e-bay or Amazon. Both have good-quality solder, brass tip cleaners, temperature-controlled soldering irons, etc.
This is by far the best video ( series ) I ever saw about high quality soldering techniques and the related background knowledge. I love the straight style, no fancy distractions, no useless discussions, there is a right way to do it, and there is a wrong way that is "unacceptable", and the guy is damn right. The underlying technologies have evolved during the last decades, and of course one should keep that in mind and adept accordingly, though the attitude to carefully create a handcrafted piece of solid work is something I often miss these days and I'd really like to see revived. PACE, thanks a lot, you rock hard :)
Thanks for everyone's compliments : This Video on 16mm was first rate at the time sadly the transfers are all from 3/4 U-matic. Pace made this program to many who used them to train employees: corporate and military classrooms. Produced in over 13 languages teaching mill spece class 3 soldering and PCB repair and OEM rework. The program was made in adherence with IPC certifications. Pace equipment is no good without brains behind the tool. Bill Siegel produced this as a product to help sell PACE products, but you will see no actual promotions in it. The programs were a big hit at the time. The beginning of the Rework and Repair program still gives me the chills. It's a powerful motivational speech. I've heard it many times selling it. Now, you as a tech may never have to use this content, you guys are SMD BGA all the way. On Pace's Web site you will see SMD training using their gear. You might see me in a video I made when you search Pace Inc. Some of its content is still good for most SMD work. The skill is some serious shit when it comes to biomed equip. , Avionics or anywhere failure is not an option. Reliability is the key! Much thanks to all of you. Marc Siegel
All this video taught me is that the pace of technology is relentlessness and ever accelerating. It's full of those 1970s simplifications and inaccuracies. Materials Scientists cry when they see this video.
so refreshing.. there is no "click here, subscribe to my stuff, patreon, like on instagram, facebook, twitter".. no freaking channel intro with music.. we knew how to do shit back then.
This is really great. I was in high school electronics shop when this was made. Thanks for reviving it. Any chance that the book mentioned will be made into pdf for us DIY hobbyists?
Working for a military base , learned the high reliability soldering course. Don't do as much component replacement on a board level as much , but still good to know how to do it. And still used Pace equipment , and love it !
Wasted almost 8 hours reading and listening to countless subpar youtube "tutorials" which didn't even cover 5% of the info in this wonderful video. Why this isn't the top search result, I'll never know. But I'm so happy I somehow found this video which has answered everything I needed to get started with soldering.
its so odd how much i love old instructional videos like this. I always feel like they are so well put together despite being so old. Not only that but they always have such good narrators, in fact it always sounds like its the same guy lol.
This makes me want to put in my effort to normalize this style of video lessons/mentoring over the more 'modern' approach. So simple yet explains everything in perfect detail!
I 1000000% agree, this is when world was a good place to live in general, just notice with how much effort and care this video was made and polished. Only someone who loves what they do could've made this video and explained it in such detail and such passion. And if I may assume, its made without money in mind. Nowadays its all for money so no, you will never make America great until you teach people that its not all about money.People today are scared and thus angry, they explode easy out of fear and so love is repressed.
I have been to Medical school... I have no idea about how electronics work (besides general knowledge), I have no idea why this video is so freaking satisfying to watch... Why can't we have instruction videos like this today... Thank you PACE.
I started watching this as I thought it would be a silly 1980s video, ridiculously out of date and not relevant. now 10 videos in to the playlist and learned so much. Absolutely incredible resource
A few things have changed, SMT rework requires you to use drag soldering now, what old timers would have ridiculed as "solder shoveling" but with tiny SMD ICs there is no other way and they have tips designed for this method now. Also I have found that with very large wire and connectors like 8 AWG and 12mm bullet connectors you sometimes have to resort to tricks like kapton tape to protect against potential solder spill but that's really closer to welding than soldering (some would also ridicule that but I don't feel like being punished for a slight misjudgment in solder amount by having to completely redo a connector)
This entire series, lesson 1-9 was great. More "how to" videos should be like this. Clear, to the point, straight-forward, no BS, good audio, great editing lining things up with the speaker. Where are these kinds of videos these days?? Is it because anything this good has to be paid for? Maybe, but if you ever want to teach something via a YT video or series, you should come back here and take notes.
You laugh but I worked on multilayer boards on the F/A 18 Hornet which were a 1970's designed fighter aircraft. (Takes 10 years before they become manufactured. In 1987 I was trained on 4 layer multilayer boards, so, multilayer isn't a new thing by any standard.
You must go "old school" for a straight forward, no bullshit explanation. Thanks a lot for posting this.
Yep, that's where things have headed. Fluffy bullshit to hide the fact that the emperor has no clothes. I was 10 when this video was made, and it's brought back memories and the realization that sometimes too much info/noise is not a good thing.
Back when people didn't need to be entertained to learn something
I share your sentiment. All the old car commercials, military tutorials etc. seem to focus much more on the hard facts and science behind something. Almost as though they've been made to teach.
Good point! A few years ago Justin timberlake brought sexy back, maybe in 2019 we can bring "no bullshit" electronics back?
Old school is best school
I will never forget the "2 Sec" because of the way the guy wrote it. Permanently imprinted on my retina.
This video is over 40 years old but it seriously is the best one I’ve seen on TH-cam lol.
What happened to video editing like this? No advanced video editing tools, and yet, still better than 90% of what's out there. At least in my opinion.
It started as a film and was converted to videotape in 1980. I remember watching this during a Pace presentation at a company I worked for back then. Pace was in and out of McDonnel Douglas all the time. The rep had a special cart to haul around the projector and demo equipment.
Editing video was much more difficult then, so instructional movies didn't use it as a trick to keep the viewers' attention.
it's only 90% better than what's out there now because there's 1000000% more out there.

It's probably the comforting sound of the mid 1950s American accent which gives you that state of euphoria.

Leaded solder won't give you cancer as long as you maintain proper hygiene and wash your hands after you're done.
It says 1980 @ 0:05 seconds. Nice Video. ;)
Lucy, this is far older than the 70s. It's probably 40s or 50s. (when they used projectors - like the summary says)
I don't know who made those old technical videos but I wish that man all the best in this and next life. God bless his soul for making those so well.
this is what a 'tutorial' means. just tells you everything you need to know but also keep it not too theoretical.
you have right,i should save this thing instead of thousand movies on external hard
I prefer lots of pauses, hesitations and babies crying in the background, makes it seem more genuine
I've learned more in the first 7 minutes of this than I have for years watching different soldering videos
Oh God! I'm in that good part of TH-cam again.
Best Training on uTube on this subject.

This video was never aired, but carbon tracing tells us that it was made and released in the late 80s.
paceworldwide I am older and that looks more like the 60’s style dress, music, and sound quality. But I may be wrong, I used tree ring counts.
That's 100% not the late 80s.

This gets recommended a LOT on r/soldering. You learn soldering a lot faster when you know how to move heat, and how much you require. Good stuff!
you know you're watching an old video when someone tries to convince you of the importance of electronics.
Very true. And on a similar note.

Honestly, at this point if somebody actually requires coercion to consider subscribing to an ISP, they don't need it, and likely can't even use it. Lmao
For those outside the US, or otherwise haven't seen these commercials, HughesNet is a satellite internet provider for very remote rural customers (where hardline broadband can't reach), and every last one of their commercials over the last decade vaguely run down a basic list of "appealing" connectivity incentives, for example:
Talking to the grandkids.
Reconnecting with old friends. They're nonspecific, but they mean Facebook.
Finding recipes for cooking.

so refreshing.. there is no "click here, subscribe to my stuff, patreon, like on instagram, facebook, twitter".. no freaking channel intro with music.. we knew how to do shit back then.
I finally understand the why behind soldering failures. This is by far the best soldering explanation video on the entire youtube.
Just happened upon this video. Excellent content and a great resource. Thanks for posting it. I will definitely share this one.
It's amazing how this tech-related video is more than 30 years old yet still relevant.
that was just awesome i learned more than i ever had googling stuff
This old ass video and the guy's voice is both equally entertaining, informative, and soothing.
This is really great. I was in high school electronics shop when this was made. Thanks for reviving it.
Any chance that the book mentioned will be made into pdf for us DIY hobbyists?
I think these are the best series of videos if you REALLY want to deeply understand what soldering is and how to do it.
Best video on soldering I've ever seen! + a bit of myth busting is always good :)
Working for a military base , learned the high reliability soldering course. Don't do as much component replacement on a board level as much , but still good to know how to do it. And still used Pace equipment , and love it !
I have got to do it! Let me know if you are watching this in 2019.
Wasted almost 8 hours reading and listening to countless subpar youtube "tutorials" which didn't even cover 5% of the info in this wonderful video. Why this isn't the top search result, I'll never know. But I'm so happy I somehow found this video which has answered everything I needed to get started with soldering.
That intro music makes me want to solder a conduit between the Italian mafia and the Black Panthers!
Ive can not believe how good this video is! I wish all technical videos were like this! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Can't beat the classics
its so odd how much i love old instructional videos like this. I always feel like they are so well put together despite being so old. Not only that but they always have such good narrators, in fact it always sounds like its the same guy lol.
Thankyou
I just purchased the new Heathkit digital clock. Need to refresh my soldering skills.
This makes me want to put in my effort to normalize this style of video lessons/mentoring over the more 'modern' approach. So simple yet explains everything in perfect detail!
ahhhh. when America was beautiful and intelligent
Don't worry. We'll Make America Great Again.
I 1000000% agree, this is when world was a good place to live in general, just notice with how much effort and care this video was made and polished.
Only someone who loves what they do could've made this video and explained it in such detail and such passion.
And if I may assume, its made without money in mind.
Nowadays its all for money so no, you will never make America great until you teach people that its not all about money.People today are scared and thus angry, they explode easy out of fear and so love is repressed.
"Don't worry. We'll Make America Great Again." No you won't
America needs people with hunger for learning.
juliusvalentinas It’s going to happen, but a price will be paid. That’s why I’m here learning how to build electronics - in preparation.
I have been to Medical school... I have no idea about how electronics work (besides general knowledge), I have no idea why this video is so freaking satisfying to watch... Why can't we have instruction videos like this today...
Thank you PACE.
Thanks, medical is serious shit.This is mil spec.
No worries. Your not alone. Need info on a technique? or product? contact Pace on the site.
Thanks for watching. Marc Siegel
I have watched 'how to solder' videos all week.
By far, this one video is better than all of them combined.
When America was great.
Trump has our back
Like during the Great Depression
@@T3ddy0wns only if your a russian
When America was great.
The rich paid their taxes, we built roads, schools, and we went to the damn moon!
bro its a soldering tutorial calm down
Best 20 minutes I ever spent on the subject!
Love the kettle drums :) BOOM BOOM
I started watching this as I thought it would be a silly 1980s video, ridiculously out of date and not relevant. now 10 videos in to the playlist and learned so much. Absolutely incredible resource
A few things have changed, SMT rework requires you to use drag soldering now, what old timers would have ridiculed as "solder shoveling" but with tiny SMD ICs there is no other way and they have tips designed for this method now.
Also I have found that with very large wire and connectors like 8 AWG and 12mm bullet connectors you sometimes have to resort to tricks like kapton tape to protect against potential solder spill but that's really closer to welding than soldering (some would also ridicule that but I don't feel like being punished for a slight misjudgment in solder amount by having to completely redo a connector)
"Get in and get out as fast as you can!" noted
This entire series, lesson 1-9 was great. More "how to" videos should be like this. Clear, to the point, straight-forward, no BS, good audio, great editing lining things up with the speaker. Where are these kinds of videos these days?? Is it because anything this good has to be paid for? Maybe, but if you ever want to teach something via a YT video or series, you should come back here and take notes.
MUCHAS GRACIAS MÉXICO,,,, CD MX. GRACIAS. 28 MAYO 2018
Thank you ... Old videos seem to be much more informative than newer ones.
Cute doggie at 8:19
I used to be observant like that when I was young and not jaded
Amazing vision
This is one hell of a video for the beginner! Thank you for making it available.
Pace: "...on today's technology, like double sided boards"
Me: *_Laughs in 5 layer boards_*
You laugh but I worked on multilayer boards on the F/A 18 Hornet which were a 1970's designed fighter aircraft. (Takes 10 years before they become manufactured. In 1987 I was trained on 4 layer multilayer boards, so, multilayer isn't a new thing by any standard.
Wow! This was the best vid I have seen on this. No need to reinvent the wheel with modern videos.
Am i the only one who saw this on 2019?? Any one??..

This is the single best tutorial ever made on soldering. I say that unironically.
Sometimes I would like to send this to some manufacturer.
ha! good one; I hear ya
Straight out of the 80's! Clearest soldering explanation I've seen yet. Thank you!
Look around you. Just look around you. Have you figured out what it is we're looking for? That's right. Solder.
Finally. A really REALLY full-fledged, no bullshit and clear explanation about Soldering.
Thanks PACE!
i need that manual
Been soldering for years and in 2021 still learned some tips and tricks from an old school presentation!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
When adults instructed adults.
