Well if it was me I would know exactly what I would have done to the kids. Doing the dishes without being paid for months or cutting the lawn without being paid for the entire summer or giving up all their allowance money to pay for the repair. I was brought up and taught the value of a dollar and back in the 60s a dollar went a long ways. I was taught to not go into debt and not borrow money but save for it until you can afford it because that's what my parents did. I've never had any personal debt other than my mortgage when I bought my home which is long paid for. If I want to buy a new car I go to the dealer and I write them out of check. If I broke something as a kid I was expected to work to pay for the damage just like adults have to. It builds responsibility. Both my kids are very responsible now that they've grown up.

@@12voltvids yes, same here, if i don’t have the money, i don’t buy it. People in the netherlands (used to be) quite on the money/frugal/calvinistic or whatever you call it.

@@martijnappeldoorn8686 Always worked for me. My credit rating is probably very low. Never checked but as i don't borrow money and my 1 and only credit card it paid off every month I am sure my score isn't that high. Been years since i had a mortgage.

I would tell them it was a problem with their Pay-Per-View service.

Yes it probably was kids. Everything breaks. Things that you think are unbreakable turn out to be breakable. Expensive neon sculpture that is definitely breakable was put up on a shelf 20 feet in the air for safe keeping. A ladder is required to get to it. One day it just broke. Climb up ladder to find a stuffed toy sitting next to the broken tube. Sonny boy said his friend threw the toy up and broke it. Friend denied it, say Sonny boy did it. Cost 500 to have repaired. Sonny boy learned quick when his allowence and chore money went into paying for the damage. He wasn't happy. It was one of those learning moments as they say. My reply was "if i broke something of yours you would expect me to fix it or get you a new one wouldn't you? His reply was yes, and my reply, there you go.

Noticed something?

@@12voltvids you lack of hair in a couple of shots or was it just the camera angle ?

@@Raptor50aus got lots of hair. Just went to the barber and had my ears lowered. Not quick as thick as it was when i was 20 but I am pushing 60. I have friends younger than me that have alot less.

Last one I worked on only needed a kick start cap on the power supply.

Well flex cable is required in this design because it needs to move so you don't use fixed wires or even flexible wires on connectors like that that have to move back and forth every time it reverses you'll end up with broken connections in no time. Those flexible PC boards like the ones used for dot matrix printers are designed to flex constantly without breaking

@@12voltvids It kind of looked like the bail wasn't pressed in all the way still. Check out 24:15. The right side isn't flush. Maybe you fixed this afterward, just thought I would make a note.

I thought the ribbon would snap trying to insert it.

It spins up as if it were going to play, then stops and takes forever to spin down before I can open the tray

​@charlesjorden7499 maybe see if a belt needs to be changed out. If the belt is loose it might be able to spin a cd up to speed but not a laserdisc. Don't take my suggestion as the gospel since I'm just spit balling here.

Watch and learn

Thank you
