Repair videos are my favourite. Even the failed ones, it is interesting to know how to come to the conclusion they are failures.

[ryantillotson]

Remember when I was in these videos?
Good times...
Thanks for the memories Dave. :P

YUP! There is a pub in McMurdo!
Called "Gallaghers Pub"

[ronettreker]

Dave, repair videos are the best. It doesn't matter if you fail to repair it. It's what we learn from it that counts.

[winstonsmith]

I second the request for more repair videos. I don't really care so much whether you manage to fix them or not although it's nice when you do, it's the troubleshooting process that's interesting, for me much more interesting that most teardowns.

Dave, the new led lightning system did a great job in this new video!
Way way better than the old lamps.

Whoever sent in mail that's in McKinney. I'm over in Plano not too far away. Nice to know there is a fellow viewer nearby.

That knife resembles the knife used with the surgical tool for circumcisions. :-)

Where is the little minion that helped in the previous unboxing?

[casperhito]

A ghost moved the mailbag packages in the background. Your shop is haunted Dave!

[KitsuneCentral]

Don't worry Dave, most people in the US are not that keen on Sea World anymore either. Ever since the Documentary was in Theaters and later broadcasted.

Also, that wasn't a selfie stick, it was a monopod. :P

Those painted tiles were amazing, what an artist!

[Edu_RJR]

Dave those are "Allegro CA/CB packages" for current sensor IC.

[ThingsWhichArentWork]

I think that hall sensor a CQ-2092 - certainly seems to match up with the datsheet.

[willlovesbearzd]

where can I get a fail button? I Really need one!

[bigtank]

Favorite part... Giving the penguin the fail button "crap product design"
HAHAHA

[sammmmko]

Cool, I'm also from Slovakia! I really didn't except to see mail from my country here, nice.

23:59 - there are ghosts in the EEVBlog Lab ! (mailbag articles in the background fall)

[MrChookchaser]

Dave your scope can't trigger on the composite color video signal because the 4.43 Mhz color sub carrier is going as low as the horiz sync pulses. The sub carrier can't go below zero or cut off i.e the top of the horiz sync pulse.The horizontal sync pulse should be .3 Vp-p  relative to a 1 V p-p video signal

That selfie stick looks pretty handy as it can work as self-defense kinetic device either (probably worth unattaching the camera first, unless it has good tele-zoom lens) :)
