      Yep, that's where things have headed. Fluffy bullshit to hide the fact that the emperor has no clothes. I was 10 when this video was made, and it's brought back memories and the realization that sometimes too much info/noise is not a good thing.

I love the straight style, no fancy distractions, no useless discussions, there is a right way to do it, and there is a wrong way that is "unacceptable", and the guy is damn right. The underlying technologies have evolved during the last decades, and of course one should keep that in mind and adept accordingly, though the attitude to carefully create a handcrafted piece of solid work is something I often miss these days and I'd really like to see revived.

      Thanks for everyone's compliments : This Video on 16mm was first rate at the time sadly the transfers are all from 3/4 U-matic. Pace made this program to many who used them to train employees: corporate and military classrooms. Produced in over 13 languages teaching mill spece class 3 soldering and PCB repair and OEM rework.
      The program was made in adherence with IPC certifications. Pace equipment is no good without brains behind the tool. Bill Siegel produced this as a product to help sell PACE products, but you will see no actual promotions in it.
      The programs were a big hit at the time. The beginning of the Rework and Repair program still gives me the chills. It's a powerful motivational speech. I've heard it many times selling it.
      Now, you as a tech may never have to use this content, you guys are SMD BGA all the way. On Pace's Web site you will see SMD training using their gear.
      You might see me in a video I made when you search Pace Inc. Some of its content is still good for most SMD work.
      The skill is some serious shit when it comes to biomed equip. , Avionics or anywhere failure is not an option. Reliability is the key!
      Much thanks to all of you.

      Very true. And on a similar note.
      You know you're watching a HughesNet commercial when someone tries convincing you of the benefits of internet access.
      Honestly, at this point if somebody actually requires coercion to consider subscribing to an ISP, they don't need it, and likely can't even use it. Lmao
      For those outside the US, or otherwise haven't seen these commercials, HughesNet is a satellite internet provider for very remote rural customers (where hardline broadband can't reach), and every last one of their commercials over the last decade vaguely run down a basic list of "appealing" connectivity incentives, for example:
      Talking to the grandkids.
      Reconnecting with old friends. They're nonspecific, but they mean Facebook.
      Finding recipes for cooking.
      Watching your favorite TV shows, on-demand.
      And anything else reserved for the eldest of boomers or perhaps time travelers from the distant past, that have never laid eyes on an elecktronomonical whatchamacallit or whizbang doodad beep-boop box.
      WHAT BRAND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!
      Very out of touch marketing, one could say.

    This entire series, lesson 1-9 was great. More "how to" videos should be like this. Clear, to the point, straight-forward, no BS, good audio, great editing lining things up with the speaker. Where are these kinds of videos these days?? Is it because anything this good has to be paid for? Maybe, but if you ever want to teach something via a YT video or series, you should come back here and take notes.

    I learned this and more at the RCA NASA wireman training center back in 1959. I convinced my former student that soldering was an art, not just a ask. I went from wireman to technician, to engineer. In my early retirement years I Taught college students the art. At one time in my life I was promoted from the tech bench to an office admin position. Within a year I was back in the lab teaching techs inspection skills. Electronics was a great choice in my life for me. Every day at work was pure joy.

      And if I may assume, its made without money in mind.
      Nowadays its all for money so no, you will never make America great until you teach people that its not all about money.People today are scared and thus angry, they explode easy out of fear and so love is repressed.

    Fabulous video. I have been soldering for 25 years straight and I feel like I have got hands-on experience but knowing something consciously is something else indeed. Best video I have ever since. Although it is old school and doesn't cover electronic components of the scale today, it still gets you prepared to go deeper into today's demanding smd and super small components. Fabulous.

      @atomicskull6405 9 місяців тому

      A few things have changed, SMT rework requires you to use drag soldering now, what old timers would have ridiculed as "solder shoveling" but with tiny SMD ICs there is no other way and they have tips designed for this method now.
      Also I have found that with very large wire and connectors like 8 AWG and 12mm bullet connectors you sometimes have to resort to tricks like kapton tape to protect against potential solder spill but that's really closer to welding than soldering (some would also ridicule that but I don't feel like being punished for a slight misjudgment in solder amount by having to completely redo a connector)
