Cool find. I would recommend you to speak louder or put some gain on microphone before uploading video. Keep rockin!

For some strange reason, the KX-TG947x doesn’t have line power mode, even though the KX-TG939x does. The 947x does have the holes for a piezo ringer, so maybe it does and the manual is wrong. The way to find out is to plug it into line 1 but no power and pick up the receiver.

Tbh I would just keep the ojo has a display item

The Vtech DS5151 is supposed to have power backup according to the manual, but the images show the 1-line alphanumeric display, and those models don’t have it due to them not being able to fit “Powering base… Don’t pick up”. Or at least that’s why I think most models don’t have it anymore.

@@techwithtyler20 The manual is incorrect. This one that I have does support power backup, and also it does have the big 3-line dotted display.

@@RodArdvnElectrics The manual’s correct, Vtech’s images aren’t. I think this is the only Vtech phone ever to have diamond-cut keys and power backup. Shame it’s not available in the US.

Hi Rod, great video as always, my friend Jason is in the market for a new cleaning tool, and noticed you seem to have a hair drying like appliance in the background there, that if my suspicions are correct, that actually blows rather than used for suction and is for cleaning appliances. Can you please share the model number or name of this cleaning appliance, with your thoughts on its use cases for cleaning small hand held electrical appliances?

[@RodArdvnElectrics]

@@BusinessifyYT Thank you very much for your kind comment. The device I have is a blower, mostly used to clean dust and computer fans, it’s basically a substitute for the air cans that we buy and they run out. It’s a pretty powerful device, definitely a good substitute, and you can find it in Amazon and such.
