    I simply do not trust a repairman that pretends as if they never make a mistake or fail a repair...and I also do repair.
    Lots of UA-cam repair channels never show failires or no-fix DUE TO THEIR FAULT and I think we need to admit and show more of that.
    Kudos, Sorin!

    What I like about Sorin, is that he could have easily edit the "dodgy spark guy" part out easily and don't even mention it - but he didn't. He accepts his faults and is being sarcastic of himself in his own videos. That's priceless.
