The level of quality is crazy here, and I'm saying that from a videographer's perspective... I took a look at the subscriber count and I was shocked, KZbin is a harsh place. You gained an extra subscriber today! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much I appreciate hearing this. KZbin is harsh and partly why I had slowed down making videos after 3 years. I had plans to make more last summer but had a flood and lost much equipment. I'm hoping to make more in the Spring. Thanks for watching!

@@RetroRepairGuy @RetroRepairGuy I noticed the slow down and it's understandable. I hope the algorithm finds it's way to you and you can regain all tools and components that was lost in the flood, and most importantly - your motivation to make more vids! I will definitely watch them! Sincerely from Hungary, Europe.

Well I thought often of moving to the US but unfortunately didn't happen! It's unfortunate that many trades like shoemakers and mine are almost non existent. Today techs do basic maintenance and suggest getting a new unit. I've had many contact me from the US wanting to send stuff over for restoration but at the moment I am rebuilding as we were hit by a flood in the summer. You could always try getting in touch with me in the summer. Thanks for watching!

84M? A lot of RROD consoles. They may have sold that many but what about all the returns and the ones that ended up in landfill. I will admit there are still a few out there that some people still have that are still working. But can bet not even half of them are still working. With the original xbox, ripping out the clock cap will save it. So why would you not like that idea. Sure recapping is still the way to go, I also believe that "if it is not broke, don't fix it". Yes the other caps will fail but will not do the damage the clock cap will do.

What's really weird is that some light sixers were made in Sunnyvale, and a small run of heavies were made in Taiwan with serials starting with a T. Those were made in Early-Mid 1978 and have a mix of light/heavy electronics. I think Taiwan and Sunnyvale might have overlapped a little. I have one of those Taiwan Heavy Sixers. Made a video of my rebuild of it recently.

Hi Wally! Long time indeed. During the summer I was preparing two videos and then, like many, my house got flooded at the beginning of August. Lost everything, including the entire Home Theater. Much got destroyed including cameras, restorations, VHS tapes and much more. I had to throw a lot and been trying to just rebuild the house and studio/office so that I can eventually make more videos but there is so much to do. Thanks for checking in! RRG

Nice video! Posted a while ago, but still. I noticed that the VU meters are not working? The hands are often stuck due to hardened lubrication. I solved this myself by putting a soldering iron on the rotating screw. To help loosen the meters, in stubborn cases I used a battery and a half that I placed on the minus and plus wires. Very short so that the meter has a tendency to break free. Often works fine. Maybe a useful idea?

Beautiful work! I have a vintage GE radio alarm flip clock I thrifted for about $2 CND many years ago- in working order! The FM radio didn't work, but I didn't care because the AM stations were fun to use instead! It still works except the numbers on the clock won't turn on their own anymore, so I unplugged it and set it aside last year. Found it yesterday and decided to look up repair videos on youtube- mostly to show to friends/relatives who could help me out at some point, because I am not experienced with electronics lol I saw you're in Canada, and so am I... just subscribed! Fawn 😊

I don't know how or why, but this video played at 144p for me by default. It took me a good 5 minutes before I realised it wasn't part of your aesthetic for the intro of the video! I kept thinking, OK nice retro vibe, but can we just have the video in 1080p now. I didn't even realise KZbin had 144p as an option. Anyway, nice video, enjoyed the tinkering.
@RetroRepairGuy
@RetroRepairGuy 4 ай бұрын
Hi! Yes I realized that also; if for whatever reason it happened to play a video at a lower resolution, it sometimes defaults to that resolution for a future video. I don't know why. But yes, I offer all my videos in 1080p, whenever there is a segment for a retro vibe, it's normally pretty obvious. I have a few I even offered in 4K but realized it wasn't really necessary and YT takes forever to process them so I stuck to 1080P. Thanks for watching!

Hi there! No I purchased all the parts from Amazon. You can easily put it together following my video. I would however select a better speaker like one with more square sides and not rounded and maybe a little wider as it is difficult to make the components stick to it properly with the velcro. For the radio if you are not comfortable doing it yourself, a few people on eBay are selling them, just don't overpay for them because it's just a tiny modification that has been done as I showed in the video.

Thanks for the memories. I am an old-school photographer. Taught Basic Photography at night school in the 70's and 80's. Bought my 1st 35mm Camera Kodak Retina Reflex III in 1962 at Hobby Lobby Camera Store in Detroit, It had a 50mm Lens, later I purchased 135 mm and 85-200 mm zoom lenses. Then going to Nam in the late sixties, I bought a Minolta SRT 101 SLR with the same lenses and a 28mm 85mm Lens. Took lots of pictures during the war there. In the summer of 1970, all the cameras and accessories in the Riots in Detroit in 1970. An HS friend of mine was shot by a friend of my dad's in a bar. He tried to hold up the place. The guy shot lay in the street for hours and died. 2 large hospitals were just 3-4 blocks away. Rioters broke in my parents and brothers home and the chief of police there told my parents and 4 brothers to get out of the house. That night they broke into the house again, stole anything of value, and torched the place. Bad for me as all my stuff, cameras, coin collections, pictures, and records were still stored in the house and lost. Pisses me off even today to recall it. Probably better this way. My Dad and brothers had several 12-gage Shotguns and other rifles. No pistols, It would have been bad...
