I use auto generated subs, I go thru them my self, but i am far from perfect at finding all errors, so if you find errors worth fixing, please comment (or PM) with the TIME in the video you saw the error, i will be happy to fix it. This also apply to the Danish version.

Hi Thomas, another device from the WoW group 😁 This is called used space, it is so packed inside that there is no room for air. I solved the repair of buttons with electroconductive rubber several times, depending on the design in different ways. The buttons were from a smoking environment - it was enough to wash carefully. In another case (strangely porous conductive rubber) - impregnated with electroconductive varnish, and in case the buttons are badly damaged, I have the electroconductive targets themselves - I cut off the old surface with a scalpel and use a special silicone-based glue to stick a new target. Nice day 🙂 Tom

Fascinating, always like a good spectrum analyzer video, having owned a few. Wonder how much it cost? Several thousands is my guess

Anritsu is not a cheap brand, so this one was quite expensive back in 1986

@@TeardownOZ2CPU had the job of buying a "cheap" spectrum analyzer for the lab where I worked in '87. Chose a takeda riken latter called advantest, that cost £6500

@@ptronix cost it is all about frequency range, dynamic range, bw filters, stability and build quality, i also own a 100Hz to 32GHz Anritsu , maybe i make a video about it one day :-)

Kontaktfladen i de gummidimser har en overflade med grafit, dem har jeg en del gange haft held til at friske op med en blyant, så fungerer de godt igen. Men jeg kan godt se, at dem der er ret besværlige at åbne. Spændende stykke udstyr, vi fik kun en smule teori om dem, da jeg gik på teknisk skole, desværre ingen fysisk erfaring. Tak for endnu en spændende video :)

ja jeg fik heldigvis åbnet og fikset de 2 der var helt defekte, og nu er apparatet meget fint og brugbart igen, PS: fin Ford Taunus på dit billede, hvis du søger på min kanal vil du finde 2 videoer med samme model, jeg har harft 15 taunus i alt :-)
