Honestly a 30 minute video isn't long for people with the understanding of the technology and enjoys the type of videos like this, with us watching you diagnose and repair electronics of different sorts. I would say that the only people that has an issue with a video being 45 minutes to one hour long are the people that have an attention span no longer than 10 seconds, usually it's people that spend all their time on social media, Instagram, etc. those types. The people lack the proper knowledge, skill sets, attention span, fundamental aspects of electronics in general... basically they do not even have any business being on your video in the first place if they are complaining or dislike the fact a video is longer than 10 to 25 minutes. I actually prefer longer more detail oriented and intricate videos so that I can prop me feet up, lean back, and enjoy the deep dive into the details and troubleshooting.

The sarcasm from the start about Tesla😂

Thanks for putting the bloody effort into videos like this! I'm just a hobbyist, but I always learn a lot from watching your videos. Please know that your hard work is definitely appreciated.

That video was worth my annual patreon subscription alone, fantastic. Next time one of my gadgets goes awry I'll just submerge the entire assembly in contact cleaner. The errant CRT display bought back memories of the sixties when, after the national anthem at the end of the evening's transmission, a white dot would appear on the SRT screen when we turned the set off. We would all sit staring at the dot, mesmerized, until it eventually faded.

"...horrible crashing flammable computers on wheels.. " DGW is my spirit animal! :))

I love to see old stuff being fixed

I would watch every video you make even if they would be 2 hours long, I admire your knowledge and experience around all this stuff and love to learn from it myself, your videos are educating and thorough and you should keep it like this, smart people that knows what all this work is about share the same opinion, we want to learn together. and the other people that don´t know anything about this stuff won´t like the video even if it would be a minute long. But everyone else enjoys it and won´t mind a long video as we are here to learn from it. keep up the good videos and don´t be afraid to put in valuable extra details and time. I´m here for it

The hunt for the problems is intriguing and engaging. Now I am really looking forward to the next installment. Plus we got the bonus of both the dog and the cat. I liked your description of Tesla cars 😀

“This one is well, NICE” cracked me up man.

i bet you'd be surprised how many people would be just fine with a long a$$ video as long as its you doing this. I could watch you breaking down schematics and diagnosing equipment for like... ever. I didn't go to school for EE and other than being quite knowledgeable in physics i am almost completely self taught on KZfaq and I've learned more from your channel than all others combined...

Made in Czechoslovakia 💙 I love learning about the design of the old Czechoslovak electronics.

I love these longer videos from you. I was enlightened and entertained for the entire time! Please keep them coming.

Interesting that grey mains suppression filter is a common item in those Tesla appliances. Nicely made oscilloscope. Great to have access to the electrical diagrammes. Those socketed transistors are awesome. Great fault finding. Love the longer videos.

We had to carry out regular heater voltage measurements on a travelling wave tube amplifier that had the cathode and the heater at -12kV, the meter was placed on a big block of polystyrene foam on top of a plastic chair and the meter leads held off the ground with another plastic chair. Reading the meter was a little tricky as we wouldn't risk getting within a couple of metres of it!

Hats off to your effort, and that wasn't very long video, it was very interesting indeed, i'm looking forward for the next part/s. Also hats off to the electronic engineers who made these kind of stuff, nowadays ic's solve the most difficult and complex parts of an electronic circuit, you have to appreciate the infinite knowledge those man had back in the day.

0:12 "It's a different tesla than the one making the horrible crashing flammable computers on 4 wheels." Lol. That made me laugh 😂😂😂

Very interesting, good fault finding analysis as usual! I will catch up on the next video. I myself am struggling now with a ham band transceiver with multiple PLLs out of lock..

Man, I really appreciate the time you spent on this. Very illuminating.

Awesome 👍👍👍👍, can't wait for the next part. I love it!!

Lovely repair video, very satisfying to watch.

Please continue making long videos. We really learn a lot from them.

Wonderfull as allways. Please continue like this! Thank you very much.

I like long videos. Thanks. Looking forward to the next part.

That is a beast! Fascinating video

Awesome and your videos can't be too long....cheers.

Nice! Looking forward to the next part!

Looks like most of the scope functions are actually working. Pretty good for the old CZ girl. I see some elements from Tektronix scopes of the seventies. Nice FET front end. Good luck with repair! Currently restoring a Polish V640 FET multimeter from early 80's. Why? Was cheap and broken and corroded from leaking batteries.

I love your description of the car manufacturer named Tesla. 😂👌👍

Top notch video, as usual.

Awesome vid man, as always I learnt heaps, and had a chuckle

Looking forward to part 2 ( and possibly 3, 4 and 5)

Great video.

There is nothing wrong with these long videos. This video I did not notice that it was 34 minutes until I finished it because it is actually fun to watch. I also want to see a video about your set of tungsten lamps and turning them all on and seeing them in action.

Если схема синхронизации построена на туннельном диоде, то там есть проблема: со временим ток покоя туннельного диода уплывает и перестаёт работать синхронизация. Если это так, то нужно просто подобрать новое сопротивление смещающего резистора диода и всё будет работать.

You have the coolest multimeter

Good effort! Curious to see the next video :-)

I would have watched the whole thing even if it was an hour long! Excellent description.

Tnx for great video again. I learn alot watching your channel and helping out other people fixing things instead of throwing away. 73 on5gs

Thanks!

Thanks! More videos like this please 🙏

"It sets a DC voltage that is going into this 6 transistor contraption" DGW 2023 😎

I used those variable capacitor at 5:52 to made my first fm bug 25 years ago.

Dankeschön! TY a lot. Of course appreciate your effort!! Want see part2 of the repair. Bloodylong videos for ever XD

thx for your work

Danke!

Are you using beer directly for fire extinguishing or after processing?😂

You are wise to mention the plastic automaker in this video- the comments generated will game the algorithm and accidentally, some people might learn about troubleshooting repairable electronics!

Thanks

S tím triggerem ti držím palce, doufej že to není odstřelená tunelka GE134. S páječkou se k ní ani nepřibližuj, stačí malé teplo a rozletí se vejpůl, je pájená dohromady 😃Prvně bych dostal spouštěcí signál z malé desky pod pakeťákem časovky, pak se případně vrtal kolem tunelky.

very good

Nice scope, kinda reminds me of the Polish OS352. I love the ceramic terminal strips... pretty much the same kind Tektronix used.

Thank you. It is great to see how you think through the problems. One thing I'm surprised not to see is any steps to discharge any residual HV. Could you please please address that in your follow-up?

Contact cleaner is the new rosin!

It has only one focus control. The other one which seemingly affects focus is an astigmatism control. I think the CRT has a separate electrode for it, it has to be adjusted until the dot is nice and round, instead of elliptical. This control on most oscilloscopes is either only a trimmer that can be accessed only after removing the cover, or it is accessible through a hole on the front panel or side panel. It drives me crazy that they put a knob on it, it is absolutely unnecessary because it only rarely needs to be adjusted. I will remove that knob from my BM566 because I often adjust that accidentally instead of the focus control. I will probably cut the shaft off of the pot, and make a slot on it, so it only could be adjusted with a screwdriver.

Anybody else get excited when he breaks out the contact cleaner

Nice! It doesn't look easy to get that thing running and also the "custom made" components by the manufacturer, such as that "stereo potentiometer" with 2 different ranges, isn't that fun to deal with. But it will be interesting to follow

@DiodeGoneWild Any idea how to fix the line not display horizontal? The fuse in my oscilloscope blew and after recovery, the line isn't horizontal anymore. Unfortunately I don't have the schematic to look at. I assume it has to do with the board that control the tube but doesn't know where to start.

This isn't dual beam but there were a few Soviet dual beam CRTs, like the 13LO48I and the 16LO2V. There's also the 13LN8 which is a dual beam direct view storage tube used in the S8-17 oscilloscope.

i have been turning volume down just in case every time you powered it :D

One knob is probably focus, the other is astigmatism.

Multi episodes, 25 to 30 minutes, seems to cover the widest audience on other channels. , ;)

Imagine taking this whole thing apart... I would probably need to be in isolation for an entire week to put it back together

Hi Daniel!

So that's what the super cheap Chinese multi meters are for 😂😂

❤ Love your videos ! ... and your accent as well. Thank you very much !

hi ! my analog oscilloscope (16B) is having trigger issue i think, the display signal is not stable, and suggestions ?

I’m still used to the one with the Cyrillic lettering on it…

Does the HV transformer in the oscilloscope look like a TV flyback? I have only seen scopes with 50 Hz iron core transformers with n*100 V winding for the voltage multiplier.

I would like to old oscilloscope no complicated curcuit board ,understanding simple stages ,very rare oscilloscope . If it produce again it will be get that, more demanding,for technician .😂 I see it had a schematic diagram , try to it makes again ,😂❤❤ GodBless❤

It needs adjusting of the balans if the trace "zero" jumps around while changing V/div. Without input you should not see a trace because there is no trigger signal. That is why there is "auto" trigger.

... at least, all boards are for the same scope, i have a romanian scope built in 1991-1992, but using boards and parts from 1985-1988, and, more badly, boards and parts from 3 or 4 different scopes! :) so, a Frankenstein, with a lot of undocumented adaptions and matchings... sweet! :D

Hah first time I’ve spotted the burn mark before Dany! What do I win?

Even more contact cleaner!

Ďakujem za toto video a mne sa páčilo, že bolo také dlhšie, lebo tam bolo mnoho zaujímavého obsahu a budem sa tešiť na ďalšiu časť. Ak ti môžem poradiť čo sa týka tých objímok na tranzistory, tak som si všimol, že na tých objímkach je výstupok (plastový) tam, kde má tranzistor tiež výstupok (kovový), takže podľa toho sa podľa môjho názoru dá orientovať, len by som si pred vytiahnutím každého tranzistora (samozrejme len tých, ktoré bude treba vytiahnuť) pre istotu overil či tie výstupky súhlasia, niekde mohol pracovník pri osadzovaní pozabudnúť a nemusel osadiť objímku správne výstupkom súhlasiacim s výstupkom tranzistora, pritom elektricky to môže byť správne aj tak, lebo čo som si všimol, tak tranzistor ide osadiť ľubovolne.

How did you get the electrical schematic?

Beauty

I'm getting a broken tek crt Analog scope off a friend and I'm gonna try to fix it and mod it into a cuve tracer. I shall be bugging you Dany.

can u help me to diagnose my oscilloscope problem with readout never show on screen buat if i turn on 1 hour readout show on the screen, oscilloscope gw istek gs625

👍👍

Tbh I really want to see DWG fix some Tesla Motors product. I know he enjoys his share of fixing his country's automotive products!

@DiodeGoneWild Meh who cares Daniel tjat video is getting long.. We love yours bloody long repair videos and sense of humour too.. 😎😎

Woohoo! Old capacitor testing coming next! I don't know why I love watching bad capacitors being tested, it's not like the what I see is going to be beneficial in any way shape or form! But watching someone do all the proper capacitor tests and not just ESR is not very common.... To many times I see people who only test for ESR and get a good reading even though I can see from the other side of the screen that it's top is expanded or leaking electrolyte.... And they called it good! There's also a lot of people who test a capacitor for capacity and when it reads over it's rating they think that it's good.... If a capacitor read's over it's rated capacity, it's bad! It's most likely suffering from voltage losses due to high parallel resistance which is also DC biasing whatever is downstream and setting things up for an expensive cascading failure of components that are probably no longer available!... So yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing many capacitors being tested....

If I had something to see if you wanted it, how can I contact you?

Osciloskop, kteý je těžší než stůl, na kterým leží.

Great video, but I need to add that it's not a good idea to spray contact cleaner into an oscilloscope, especially into the Y divider. The oil can seep in-between the plates of the compensation capacitors, changing their capacitance a lot, it can screw up the aligment so bad that even a 1kHz square wave will look bad. Soaking oil into the phenolic boards of the wafer switches in the Y divider can have a similar effect. I started using a 100MHz Kikusui oscilloscope at work about 15 years ago, and did not understand why it is so horrible, the slope and edge of square wave looked different in each sensitivity setting. Then my colleague told me the scope needs contact cleaning annually, because the range switch is flaky in it. The compensation got screwed up by the oil from the contact cleaner.

29:15 The sockets are keyed by the way...

😔😞 friends ....

This video was sponsored by Uni Credit bank😂

That's the most complicated brightness control ever 😅

A/B button for syncro

I think you used too little contact cleaner. I think it needs more contact cleaner.

Made by Tesla. Not to be confused with that car company, Tossler? 😜

Definitely no problem with extending lenght of video, I was just setting down when things were getting intriguing, you broke off - a part 2 perhaps?? Your manipulation struggles with need for extra hands, have you thought of employing your cat (obviously of high intelligence😽) to lend a helping paw! Doggie might help but perhaps cannine intellectual capacity not so profound.😂

When the content is interesting why not make it as long as necessary.

The HV supply is crook

You were way more fun before , u talked louder. You're toooo quiet right now

please no i hate shorts

PLEASE stop poking around with a screwdriver. Turned on or off, you're freaking me out. PLEASE use an insulated pointer. I know you know what you are doing, but it's WAY too easy to make a mistake, and you'll only do it the once.

He clearly dislikes EVs though he doesn't have one. You should at least try them before judging about them.
