Hey man! This doesn't really have to do with this video but I have a question regarding the technics. So I managed to get a hold of one that's a little defect for as little as 65 pounds and it worked fine for me for a while without showing any of the problems that where described to me when I purchased it, but then later on they showed up. Now the problems that a cure is that when I turn on the table it can start doing what it did for you and spin really fast and both 33 and 45 are lit up, but some times it works at a start and then it starts to swing back and forward a couple of times and then spin up. I found that if I pull it out of the wall socket after every time I've used it, it tends to work fine for a longer time. Before I figured just to rock it that way first, but now I'm noticing that time span is shortening. It tends to turn of when it's playing to like if you would switch it off on the on/off switch without break, but everything is lit and it's just to press start and I kicks up again. I figured that I should hit you up and see if you had any good ideas about the problem and maybe a fix before I take it to a shop and pay what I saved by copping it so cheep.
Sorry if I got this wrong, I'm old school with meters and such. But are you actually measuring the current properly? Don't you have to put the meter in series with the LED, either that or measure the voltage across a 1 Ohm resistor in series? Does my question make sense? Keep up the great work!
You are spot on, you do have to put the meter in series with the load to measure current, well spotted. But in this case i am able to measure the current across one of the LED, because all the LEDs are in series, and because the LEDs are being driven by a current limited source, by placing the meter across one of the LEDs I am shorting that LED out and effectively removing it from the circuit (hence why that one LED turns off when you do that). And because the source is current limited the current across the circuit remains constant. hope this helped, and thank you for your comment.
Ah yes - I knew you must have known what you are doing! Nice trick - very interesting. Looking forward to any videos you may have coming out in the future.
Nice to see you back making videos. nice job. well done as always. looking forward to the next one. :)
Learned something new today, if too many ferrets escape, your led bulb flickers :O
Any more Technics videos in the pipeline?
Looking forward to the next test :) Cheers James
"right....okay" reminds me of big clive!

Great video!
Hey James great to see new videos up I was wondering if you can do a video on megger testing its theory and how to properly conduct a megger test.
Sure. No problem. Always up for video ideas. Thanks for your comment.
Splendid video mate
Thanks mate. Glad you like the video.
Thank you for your comment.

nice one !
Sure you can read chinese. Get the phone app Google translate. It translates live in the camera view. It's magic.
did you ever buy yourself a Mac?
