    If you're an aspiring repair person or hobbyist, you need a good multimeter. A good entry level one is Fluke's 101 model. - amzn.to/3Mc4bXE . Most fluke meters are very expensive, this is their least expensive model.... Fluke meters still give accurate measurements, even as the battery is dying! If you buy THAT, or anything after following that link to Amazon, we get a tip. Don't buy anything you can't afford, all of our videos are free!

    I seem to remember Site 4 having 7401s when new, unpacked and fixed dozens and dozens back in the day. Very popular game.
    Make sure you clone the HDD to a SSD before you sell it, reliability will thank you in the long run.

    Hey guys I know some people give you crap down here. I am a tech in another industry. You guys have my dream job. I have made a virtual pinball machine. Fixed ski ball machines and watching you guys is just fun. I learned the same way you did just RTFM and go at it learn on your own. Feels good to be both self taught and part of a community at the same time. Keep up the good work and thanks for letting us watch. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO FILM IT PEOPLE!

    Using a screwdriver is perfectly fine for opening a box.
    The tape is under tension, I use keys, philips head screwdrivers, etc...
    It's actually safer too, as you have less risk of damaging what is inside the box.

    There was one of these in the PX when I was in the Army. I was convinced it was a last starfighter type evaluation tool and whoever got the highest scores were approached for "special assignments".

    Our Favorite Inexpensive Multimeter, the Fluke 101 - amzn.to/3QpknqS .... this is the cheaper version of Fluke's legendary meters which often get pretty expensive. It's a good quality one for aspiring hobbyists or electronics repair persons who want a reliable meter that won't give you false readings! This is an Amazon Associates link, if you buy anything after following that link we will get a tip, thanks for watching!

    Did anyone ever own a 50 or 60 inch rear projection RCA TV circa 2000?
    It was an awesome picture but the alignment required all these lines with all these little boxes and you had to manually adjust each of the 3 lines to make the lines of the boxes white, one at a time. Spent 8 hours one night aligning it and had a perfect sharp picture and the power went out and it went back to the original way it wS

      Some of the work I do gets packed up and shipped off to Nellis and eventually makes its way to Groom Lake. It was humorous to realize the work we were doing was going to a place that didn't officially exist.

    It reflects well on you that you didn’t immediately call it a “community”. Ironically, you seem to actually have one. 12:51 12:54 13:00

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  Рік тому +1

      I'm one of those people that when other people start using a word a lot, I stop using that word. Also nobody called it community years ago, they would call it "hobby" or "Profession" or whatever so I'm more likely to use the old words, LOL
      I used to hate that people called their game room their "mancave" and then I finally decided I would call mine a "Den" which is you know what people used to call it... but then I realized that a Den is the same thing as a Cave so I'm back at square one

    Cool story time. My dad bought a Coke machine that was in the basement at an estate sale. I was pressed into service to help him move it. It was strapped to a refrigerator dolly with me lifting from the top and him from the bottom up the stairs. When we got it to the top I sat down on the couch, closed my eyes for a second and when I opened them I was in the hospital. They said I'd had a vasovagal incident.

    Hahah, the never-ending vending machine thing happened to me once. Sadly, there were only a couple of cans left, but I went past a few hours later, and it was still clicking away, still trying to vend the cnas that were no longer there. Wonder what caused it to happen?

    Let me tell ya, when I was a kid. If I went up to a Coke machine, hit the button and it just started spitting multiple cokes out!!!!! Dude I would have been in heaven! 😂. Lucky! Hell even as an adult I’d be pretty excited 😂. I’m a huge Coke fan (the soda). I have got to get me one of these.
