Basic Soldering Lesson 1 - "Solder & Flux"

[@Ston247]

You must go "old school" for a straight forward, no bullshit explanation. Thanks a lot for posting this.

[@JViello]

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.

[@bobbarker2814]

Back when people didn't need to be entertained to learn something

[@xxDrain]

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.

[@djtoddles8750]

Good point! A few years ago Justin timberlake brought sexy back, maybe in 2019 we can bring "no bullshit" electronics back?

[@cwgumby]

Old school is best school

[@rachaelb9164]

This video is over 40 years old but it seriously is the best one I’ve seen on KZbin lol.

[@SlaVoy]

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.

[@jacksan1]

I will never forget the "2 Sec" because of the way the guy wrote it. Permanently imprinted on my retina.

[@pdbouie]

Damn where is the instruction manual for life like this. Straight the point, informative this was great!!

[@paceworldwide]

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.

[@johnmarks714]

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?

[@lucysluckyday]

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).

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.

[@scarecrowsworkshop8526]

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!

[@I967]

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.

[@dchobbyist6098]

+I967 It is so much better than almost all of the newer stuff. Man, people sure forgot how to teach.

[@RpiesSPIES]

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.

[@JViello]

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".

[@eastender74]

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.

[@MayurPanghaal]

Perfectly put !!

[@canadude6401]

LOL. so true. When they wheeled in the TV or projector cart into the classroom, it was a big smile on all of our faces!

[@RobMacKendrick]

That sound, in a warm dark room. Most comfortable place on earth.

[@aquilifergroup]

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.

[@hjalfi]

I would suggest putting on kzbin.info/www/bejne/q33UXpJ_i52nhrs in a background tab while watching this, for best effect.

[@TrentBurrows]

This is by far the best tutorial available on KZbin!

[@mjdafork]

The clothes and hairstyles may have changed, but the soldering information here is timeless. My 9 year old nephew is right into technology and is desperate to learn soldering. These videos are just the thing. Thanks Pace!

[@animalblundetto8440]

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.

[@subterficial]

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.

[@grantmartin1852]

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.

[@HazeAnderson]

Editing video was much more difficult then, so instructional movies didn't use it as a trick to keep the viewers' attention.

[@collaredgreens1600]

it's only 90% better than what's out there now because there's 1000000% more out there.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

It's a common theme... many years ago, only experts edited films like this. Today, any schlub can make a KZbin video. Same in the music industry, or other places too. When anybody can do something, the average quality goes down.

[@ronj9448]

This video was never aired, but carbon tracing tells us that it was made and released in the late 80s.

[@AF_1892]

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!

[@christophbrauer2007]

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 :)

[@MrMarcSiegel]

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

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.

you know you're watching an old video when someone tries to convince you of the importance of electronics.

[@NightsReign]

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.
