Done.
WayBack Wednesday!!!
I know this is an old video, but take off those post its… The adhesive and paper are acidic and will ruin the magazine…
I know it's a pretty old video, but anyway. I'd love to read "Engineer is a loner…" and "Engineers and society".
Bigger knife for next episode please 😀
Looks like you need a fiberscope to see in tight areas like that dump truck module. As if you really need an excuse to buy a new toy . . . er, tool.
FYI, it's pronounced roughly as "een-suh" from "Snake" 🙂
Did you ask us to ''spot the mail'' on mailbag Monday?
There was an article in the '74 magazine about BBC experimenting with Digital TV and another on Plasma TVs, maybe…
Alberto Socolovsky died in 2013..
Radio Shack employees don't even know what a soldering iron is now and days and would rather sell you a cell phone or overpriced cables.
Yea thumbs up for Model Railroad :)!! Way back Wednesday sound good, always informational to watch your videos.
Oh man! You missed covering the ad on the left hand page of the magazine that read "Don't buy a surprise package."
FTDI much?!
Is it possible to better focus the the RF coming out of the microwave magnetron in order to improve the range? e.g., what if you wanted to make a longer range invisible fly swatter?
Yeah, Radio Shack is pretty much dead, they sell overpriced routers, cell phones, and some electronic appliances. Most of them don't even have a component area anymore, I went into one last year, couldn't get a resistor or an LED, but they did have plenty of 40 dollar hdmi -> dvi adapters.
someone shoot you? here comes my Final Flash!
THE NIFE =-P
Hello! How do I contact the first guy, about getting one of those PCB holders? Dave didn't give any contact details…
Radio Shack is hugely into mobile phones, and, yes, batteries. But they still have a hobbyist section that's good for the occasional "I forgot to order that."
Please do the wayback Wednesday segment. Come to think of it one of the two radio shacks in my city have closed down. So sad I'll have to order from China, nothing against them but either you pay a bunch for shipping or it takes 4 to 6 weeks.
A guy I went to college with a few years back, who was in his early 40's told me they use to use catalogs to buy everything. He told me back in the early 90's they could order pc cases and motherboards from there. Basically he used those to build one of his first computers that had a 486 and then up until a few years ago tigerdirect would still send catalogs. Dell was another one but they Dell didn't sell parts they sold complete systems as you may know. In general though the quality customs parts have gone down largely due to the fact that marketing teams will spend more time on Ad's then the products them selves because manufacturing has changed.
…Now this is a Knife….
You are getting grumpy in your old age Dave.
The smell of old books 🙂 love em
MOS of Norristown PA. 1974 is probably before Chuck Peddle and company arrived to create the 6502 and certainly before Jack Tramiel of Commodore bought them to go head-to-head with TI.
I do quite a lot of desoldering…I wish I had a vise for that…
I've heard the name Bob Sears before in relation to solid-state electronics, but I can't place him…
That CNC is a Haas, and to tell you the truth, the older Haas machines with the monochrome CRT are much better. As far as their machines are concerned, they make quite a decent lathe, but their milling machines are no good for hard milling.
Time to dedicate a few episodes to going through old electronics magazines… Maybe call it, "Bedtime stories with Dave" 😀
I can smell old magazines just watching this
