Ooh, I know exactly what you're talking about. A few years back (10-15 years ago?) there was a minor nerd craze online of guys building coil guns and DIY tasers using the guts of disposable cameras. You could walk into any place that developed them and ask nicely, and they'd probably give you like 10-20 from their garbage bin after they'd extracted the film. It was the capacitors that people took from them. And yeah, they can sometimes hold a charge for a long time. I got quite a few of those camera guts free back in the day for various projects. Shocked myself at least twice.

@@StrangeParts I strongly agree with your point in general, and I have taken apart hundreds of devices in my time, but there are a couple of things that store enough charge that really, you only get one chance -- you're dead if you screw it up. Old TVs, electric vehicle batteries, unijterruptible power supplies, etc. Personally I just don't take the risk on those, it's too easy to make a mistake. Even after identifying the flash units and determining I wasn't going to touch the contacts, and with years of electronics experience, I still managed to shock myself when taking apart cameras on two separate occasions. If those had been CRTs, I may not still be here. I think drawing a line is perfectly fine, there are thousands of other things to take apart and learn from.

In Japan you meet and see sellers who are passionate about what they are selling. They often know their stuff and you know the stuff you're getting is the real deal. I used to live in China and really 99% of the time, I have to do my own research on a lot of stuff because often the sellers will only have a basic knowledge of the goods they have and you may not even get a real part. It might be a knock off or worse a a defective part that was suppose to have been destroyed.

@@StrangeParts It's quite unfortunate, but it's been a trend in that part of Akihabara in the past decade -- quite a few small shops that used to sell "junk" (second-hand stuff being sold as-is) closed up, and many were replaced by restaurants. It seems like the low rent of the area attracted many restaurants who had better marginal profit than shops selling cheap second-hand goods. That in turn raised the rent of the area, causing many "junk" shops to be forced out. Higher land value made it lucrative for new development, causing old buildings to be replaced by new buildings (like a hotel that recently opened), and many of the newer development seems to be oriented toward the "newer" trends which have higher margins like restaurants and goods catered to anime fans. All this change in Akihabara is like a microcosm of Tokyo itself; it's a city that's in constant flux, where trends are constantly changing.

12 years ago, I watched an NHK Documentary on Akihabara specifically as an electronic district. It was VERY much like looking at this video here; where you could buy wholesale parts for all sorts of electronics, microchips, processors, and computers. Seeing this really makes me happy as there are way too many youtube videos showcasing the "maid cafes," and "love hotels," that have popped up in akihabara. I couldn't care less about the "Moe Craze," but really hope that as of this writing, the old akihabara is still alive & that the maid cafes (and love hotels) don't fully take over. Thank you for posting this.

Huaqiangbei it's all about making money, no time for chatting, no feelings, no passion, the place feels incredibly cold if you are a hobbyist.

Should make that camera digital so you could link it to a Bluetooth printer so when you snap a pic ypu could send it to the printer. Keeping the aspect of having it print the picture but through a Bluetooth printer. Would be a really cool project. Would love to see it happen. Just a thought. Another idea is to modify it to have a newer iPhone modded into the camera so you have the touch screen on the back and use the flash and camera thats on the phone and many of the other components from the phone. Basically turning the camera into a digital touch screen camera with a good quality camera with the newer iPhones. Loving the videos and I would love to come check out japan and china!

Thanks for this video... I knew about Akihabara for its electronics, from reading about it and stuff back in the day, but by the time KZbin became a thing everyone started uploading videos about anime, manga and videogames in akihabara. I'm so glad to have finally found a video about this stuff.. And see at least there is still an area devoted to it

I have been to Akihabara in 2009 and 2018. The time has changed and I feel Akihabara, while it's still great, it somehow lost the charm they had 10 years ago. And as a tech enthusiast, I also feel there is nothing "wow" in their innovation anymore. The slow down in their economy is real. While the Korean and Chinese have already caught up in terms of innovation.

I've been in Tokyo 25+ years and way on back went through a phase of building my own PCs and such so I spent a lot of time wandering around the Akihabara that was, before tourism, anime and those creepy maid cafes took over. I even played basketball and tennis in the courts beside the station! I wasn't expecting anything from this video, I thought it would be much shallower, but they pretty much nailed it. There were literally hundreds of amazing little shops like these where you could find anything electronics related. They're disappearing fast though so if you're interested in seeing the last of them you'd better get here quick before the developers push them out.

I find it funny that people are rushing to acquire a share of btc and crypto in general just on hearing Elon musk got some, despite the recent challenge at 48k(USD) for market value. The truth is, Bitcoin is way bigger than anyone in the world currently, this is merely a start to the rise of btc and crypto in general this year. What i'm trying to say is, btc is bigger than Elon and would sooner than later see better figures irrespective of his purchase.This is the very reason I am focused on accumulating more btc by way of trading with high indicators and expert signals I use for personal trading from pro trade analyst carlos I'll admit it, His guide has been the reason I've gotten 17 BTC in portfolio trading in the year 2020. he can be contacted on iNStagram (@carlos_andrewfx) for crypto-inclined challenges issues.
