Hey Ed! Glad to see a video! You inspire me to get out in the garage!

[@Systemrat2008]

Wow i never thought i would ever see one of these old Phillips VCR units again. These where pre beta and VHS but similar to the Sony u matic. The head in the 1700 model of the Philips was in very short supply and they solved that problem by pricing it so no one would want to buy one.

[@rwhitenz]

if you like old vcr images check out oldvcr.tv/main/ one of my friends at work owns that collection/site

[@Aussie50]

Yes,! that is another autopsy I have to do, I found it at the scrap yard, its a wreck and even at the time I figured it was just a VCR until I got the smashed top cover off and found its a single spindle, almost 8-track style of mechanism

[@ExcessiveOverkill]

It’s sad to see you not posting as many videos as you used to. Watching your videos and photonicinduction’s when I was like 10 years old is what got me so interested in electronics to begin with. Now I’ve got my own little electronics bench and an industrial robot to mess with. Anyway, keep up the videos, even ones like this are nice.

[@MrCinimod93]

I know how you feel about uploading vids, I've not done one on my other channel since September, just not had the will to do it, plus I've not had the money to buy cheap projects either, so, pretty much killed my video-making right there... :(

The same thing with an alternator happened on my Jeep. It felt like it was cranking at half speed. I took the belt of the alternator and it spun right up.

do you ever talk to your old mate v8jagnut? what's he up to these days?

[@TheFlacker99]

I'm still here Ed, and I ain't leaving! :D Too bad for the Merc! Crazy how much German/high end car parts are. That's why I avoid them. I almost did some work on a Maserati, but my gut said "That car will be a nightmare to work on". Some of these exotic cars you need to take the engine out for an oil change. That's a horrid design. Have you ever thought about building a race car? Isn't racing really popular Down Under? I recommend filming the Merc repair. I'll definitely watch it. Cheers!

films the Mercedes repair. what is a roadworthy?

[@vk3hau]

A Certificate of Roadworthiness (also known as a ‘roadworthy’ or ‘RWC’) shows that your vehicle’s safe enough to be used on public roads. A roadworthy is required whenever a vehicle’s sold, if it’s being re-registered, and to clear some defect notices.

[@robbyschemonia3089]

Quitting my day job for KZbin would be a really crap idea for me (Plus I like my day job). The days of making money let alown big money are long gone, KZbin hit its peek years ago now & even back then it was pretty much the luck of the draw. Now KZbin is in its decline until it dies as the service has never made a profet & costs billions a year to run. How much longer is anyones guess.

[@cyneater6300]

@@arkzup In the inline 5, not sure about the inline 4. The oil pump dosn't self prime. so you might get about 15 maybe 20 minutes when you change the oil. I've heard people drain it then fill it at the same time. The process to prime the oil pump is some what insane. It depend on the engine and model. A guy at trade school machines engines and some of the inline 5's things are not up to standard. Pretty sure the next Ranger will by VW and Ford with a V6 diesel. And mazda will be partnering with Isuzu using the 4JJ1. time will tell.
