    Greetings Steve! I'm a novice hobbyist and found your channel about a week ago. I've watched quite a few of your videos and find them amazingly helpful, entertaining and educational. Thank you for putting these "REAL" repair videos up for us noobs to learn from. You're doing an amazing job, keep up the great work, sir!

I've watched a lot of repair channels as i started diving into this, and i must say, your channel very quickly has easily become my #1 favorite.
