I thought Bob had sent you a Bible at first....

Aoyue isn't awful, gets the job done as far as I've experienced, we've got a few of their products in the shop, and while I'd rather have something not shit in there, until I can afford it, they actually function pretty great.

At 24:56 you show us all 7 volumes and there are indeed 7 books but no volume 3 or III, there is however a volume 8 or VIII.
So you have Volumes 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8.

What the?

At 23:04, you can see that Nicola Tesla is an authority consulted for the book. Pretty cool.

Assuming you can trust the labeling, those power supplies are by OSRAM, according to the board labeling. And that's pretty much an A-grade lighting manufacturer. I suspect these are not supposed to be used as bare boards in plastic enclosures, and/or they're supposed to be used with forced air, and/or they're fake as a whole, and/or they got stuck with a bunch of fake parts.

4:45-ish, forget to edit the mistake out? Good you leave em in. I like them.

[TheAmmoniacal]

I wouldn't say the Aoyue is bottom of the range, they do make some of the best Hakko replicas out there.

[JessHull]

that leaf actually looks like a rose petal. Which might make sense considering people used to (or still do I suppose) press flowers in books.

[sleepib]

Complete set? So, where's volume 3?

[timekeeper]

I love when he opens boxes with such large knives

[AntonioBarba_TheKaneB]

+EEVBlog the "Ritocco" written on the carving tool means "retouch" in Italian, just a fancy way of putting italian names on stuff to look fashionable :D

[LazerLord]

4:45 forget to cut that one out, or just some unintentional laughs? lol

[FrankSandqvist]

Would it have killed Tagarno to have the zoom as a multiplier instead of a hex value? :D

[lollandster]

Thumbs down for luring me over to the eev2 channel and not having the teardowns there.

[giannisloukovitis]

I used to put leaves and petals in books in order to dry them up and take them out completely flat when i was little :)

[JIbIDEHbv]

15:20 Is this not a rubber potholder for a quick change is hot pressed? It's not like a sponge for cleaning soldering tips.

[OzyWizard]

That Parameters Multimeter is the same model as the one's we had back in1989 in telecam Australia.
I had mine hidden on my second last day of work, because I was warned the Install techs would pop the hinge on my tool box before the start of the last. Thus anything missing would be put on there bill... :)
I was working in Pitt Street Carrier. 10th floor of Pitt street exchange.

[leonkernan]

Went over to eevblog2 but couldn't find the eTag teardown. Am I blind or too soon?

[proyectosledar]

hi Dave. Love that "kill a watt" it works realy well for me but lcd is so bad xD cheers

[MichelPASTOR]

The boards at 36:00 are HID lamps driver/supply boards.
