I like this video blogger. He digs up vintage audio formats and does a very professional voice over on them. This one is remarkable feat of mechanical engineering by what Japanese were so great at:

I used to repair complex mechanisms in cassette decks and other devices. Use to hate Alpine car stereos. We would get $60 for warranty repair and the thing would take days of messing around to fix them. They were assembled from bottom up. To see anything you had to take it apart. But then it was not working so you could not figure out what was wrong with it!
Tape decks are fun to fix, radios too...tuning them. ...And turntables mechanisms too.
Bunch of various rubber bands, nail polish, all type of screws, a complete set of miniature screwdrivers and pliers.
...Glue, all type, spare bulbs and fuses...all type, soldering gun, silver wire, alcohol...isopropyl, Q-Tips, magnifiers, etc.
It's a good pastime and it saves a bunch of money from the audio repair shops.
I like the diy people. ...Using their own two hands.
Everything, anything I can fix myself I like to learn.
Once in a while I don't research enough, or I'm not sure enough...then I'll tell the repairman what I suspect needs repair.
I started fixing audio/video electronics @ age seven, and Mum's jewelry later on.
But always for fun, because I like it.
We all use our hands for many tasks, including playing musical instruments, painting, writing, and gardening...plus planting forests.
Our hands are a creative extension of our inner soul; the rewards of fixing, creating, building, ...is gratifying.
Another cool thread Amir. ...And we all stay out of trouble.
