There's surely parts of the process which weren't included in this video, such as cleaning the motors. However, WD-40 does wonders.

@Jerry Dodge 100% certain the video was a scam. I would know, I've been working with electronics for decades.

@@electronicsNmore I work with electronics too, and I've seen plenty of crazy impossible restorations. Surely this board needed to be re-capped, but I didn't see that happen. Maybe it was done behind the scenes.

@@JerryDodge You had no problem with the way he probed those ic's using that analog meter?? I don't know any experienced electronic technician that would fall for that one. Like I said, total fraud.

@Osw719 True. So many scams on YT.

Yes bro i agree

Like "animal rescue" videos. "...I just happened to be walking along in the middle of nowhere one day when I stumbled upon this bag of starving puppies" At 20 + million views a pop, nice little earner.

Jealousy and laziness. Why don't you take the time to produce a good video like this and see what happens?@@johndanher7392

That and the black electrical tape

Oh and don't forget the fact they'd now be completely out of alignment.

i agree with that!

I would say he probably snagged parts from a donor tape deck to restore this one

25:50.. what are you watching?

this guy is scum to make more views wtf

reason is the video has 2.3 mil views, it earned thousands of dollars of profit and will keep earning more while the guy sleeps for many years, worth the effort for him

This video is 100% real

@@ChillToMusic87 Put down the crack pipe and step away.

@@Gilmore74 😂 The video is proof that it's legit, you can clearly see him restoring it.

@@ChillToMusic87 you’re right! he definitely did not film this in reverse. The final reveal was definitely not filmed first and then he definitely did not slap mud all over it or smash it up himself and there’s no way he planted it in the mud. It’s legit 😂 😂

I have long noticed that they are engaged in banal editing, when garbage is taken, and then in the process of shooting a video, it turns into a new thing )))

It's real you just gotta be smart and know what you're doing

@@deanfarr3249 Except it's not real. You can even see the damage and corrosion on the exterior at 4:37 that disappeared at 32:42 that was plainly obvious after he cleaned the unit, and no he didn't paint anything, since that would have obliterated the labels on the rear panel. There are people posting here who do professional restorations for a living or hobby (self included) that actually know what goes into a REAL restoration. The amount of work required to restore a 30 or 40 year old piece of equipment can be extensive even if it's been safely tucked away on a closet shelf for years much less sitting for months in muddy water. The whole video is BS. Yea using an old analog meter probing random spots on the circuit board is just SO convincing. The transport was completely trashed from all the corrosion, those motors would never spin up properly again, the tape heads would be destroyed from this abuse not to mention the solenoid for the reverse mechanism on the head. Cleaning all the electronics with tap water? What a joke. Unlike milspec parts (which we use in the aerospace industry) that are hermetically sealed, consumer grade parts aren't and the minerals in the water will most certainly cause issues with ICs and semiconductors. You CAN clean using water but it has to be distilled or de-ionized water and would require a 4 hour bake-out at 60C (140F) for at least 4 hours. Pure isopropyl alcohol is the preferred cleaner and STILL requires a bake-out. Why doesn't he test any of his projects before putting the cover on? Who in there right mind wouldn't test a unit before throwing it all back together? A BS artist that's who! Yea, just worked perfectly with no adjustments or parts replacement the first time. Riiiiiiiight!

Yes his knowledge how to use words for YT algorithm is unparalleled 🤣🤣🤣🤣

for real. this one is laughably absurd.....at this rate we're only a couple of months away from these channels pulling CJ5's or some such out of dirt mounds in the forest and electrolyzing the rust off of them in a total restoration. haha. "I restored this forgotten 1st gen bronco"

Good day. Your comments on this video seem to be well informed and experienced. At the end of your commentary on the difficulty of restoring analog era electronics, you stated: “You, sir, are a fraud. There, I said it.” That seems bold. But maybe you speak with authority. In any case, you seem to have the sort of expertise that I need. I have a LASONiC DTS-98. It is an apparently rare, dual-cassette-deck boombox with a digital tuner that tunes shortwave. (Scores of boomboxes were designed and built in the late 1970s through the early or mid 1990s that could tune shortwave. But they were almost always analog-tuner models that often had no more than two shortwave bands for at best passable shortwave-tuning ability. The relative rarity of digital tuner boomboxes that can tune shortwave is part of what drew me to the LASONiC DTS-98.) The trouble is, this vintage machine arrived from its eBay seller in Russia with what seems like significant internal damage to its electronics. There is a scary thump heard and felt when one tilts the centre block of the boombox far enough forward or backwards. It seems that the entire assemblage of electronics were completely jarred loose during shipment from Russia to America or from JFK Airport in New York City to our home here in the southeastern United States. There was NO “FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE” warning sticker anywhere on the shipping carton. The description of the contents of the carton was the same as the eBay listing of the item. The limited English of the seller probably couldn’t be understood by the Russian cargo handlers. And the lack of globally recognized red warning stickers did not instantly caution the Russian or American handlers. The boombox worked in all the videos that the seller filmed of the boombox in use after I started communicating with him on eBay. But the stereo did not work at all when I got it here in our home in December 2019. So something happened to the boombox between the filming of the last video of the working LASONiC DTS-98 and when the seller shipped the boombox to me last November. I had wanted to examine the interior of the boombox with an Android USB inspection borescope that I bought from China on Amazon. But after repeated failure to order the correct connectors, I don’t think that such a device can attach to my BLU VIVO smartphone. (Maybe I need a more expensive smartphone.)(SIGH) I don’t know if that seller will find this comment and jump in to defend himself. But let me ask: can you open my LASONiC DTS-98 and reattach the loose parts and get it working again? I don’t want to try any repair work myself. I’m not “technically inclined”; the “lead balloon” success of my trying to repair the jammed cassette-deck mechanism of my Aiwa CS-600U has made that clear LOL. (I must also say that there are no schematics for repair work.) I wonder, though: do you live in Germany or elsewhere in Europe? (I somehow have that feeling …) If the answer is “yes,” I probably can’t use your expertise; the shipping costs would be too high. (SIGH) I already suspect that you might say: “No, I don’t do repair work for various customers.” If that is the case, do you know of anyone here in America who can repair this stereo for me at a cost I can afford? Repairers of these electronics are so hard to find nowadays. Hobbyists on boombox websites won’t necessarily be able (or willing) to help. Well, this message is already SO long. Have a good day.

@@uzodinman358 No! ⚠️😁

Absolutely spot on! This guy is not restoring anything here! The videos you see here are produced in reverse, ie he takes s good working unit and films the final scenes you see in this video, then he basically destroys it, to film.the beginning scenes you see where he 'finds' the unit and pretends to 'restore' it, just clever editing does the rest. ...⚠️😮😊

Oh come on! Maybe he is just a lucky guy!!

@@hohlovin Yeah if he has god powers and can reverse rust, release seized motors, mend deep scratches back to stock with no sign of repair and reverse water damage and recalibrate sensitive electronics with stunningly accurate results without using the correct equipment just using his godly powers! C'mon, there's more chance man landed on the moon back in 1969 than this was a genuine restore! ⚠️😁😯

Похоже на то, не могла в таком состоянии сохраниться плата электроники. В ноутах детали сгнивают после залития чаем, а не таким гавном за пару - тройку месяцев. Тут железо старое, а платы в идеале. Скорее всего просто взяты с другого исправного магнитафона донора.

Intersting. I had a feeling. Like showing up to the exact spot where the exact tape deck is .. and the mud doesnt even look 1 week old lol.

Luis Martino (

Yeah. The scratches on the clear plastic also magically disappear near the end

Also, what you didn't mention: how did he actually cleaned the motor? As much as I believe that electronic components can survive being exposed to elements, I have a hard time believing that the motor needed only on exterior cleaning. Maybe he cleaned it inside too but video doesn't show it. Nevertheless, although the guy knows his thing, he could definitely improve his skill by investing in proper tools. I've restored a number of decks in the past however, none were with this much mud inside.Also, there are a number of components as part or the transport mechanism that would definitely not survive covered in mud. But the real question here is: the top cover is held in place by at least 4 screws, sometimes 6, so i don't understand why would someone take off the top cover and dump the deck in one spot then the cover few meters away? I you don't need something, you just dump it, end of story. And the cover shows no damage either.

i think the owner of the channel not understand sarcasm, he like your comet hahaha

I thought I would just cringe and fall asleep at that guitar restoration video, until he started spray painting over the frets. Then I just started laughing like hell. I know nothing about constructing or repairing guitars, but being able to play one at least once in your life you would know it's a hack job right then and there.

I was wondering how he found the top of the case in a separate spot... lol

What a crock of shit edited out of sequence ....random disassembly without recording where everything goes Take parts off and throw them on the table ....no corrosion under the PCB Random checking with multimeter You are doing real restorers a disservice

He just buys two identical items, trashes one then magically turns it into the untouched double.

@@reacespeaces2 ...possibly, but with my take on it, he wouldn't have to buy anything. He wouldn't need to if he just edited his video clips out of order. In any case, it's still just a scam for KZfaq clicks.

Nothing needed replacing before he fake destroyed it.

not to mention the rollers...

Get out of here. it's obviously real

Hello, Terry Southwood. I live in the southeastern U.S. I’ve got this vintage LASONiC DTS-98, a big, pretty rare dual-deck boombox with a digital tuner and detachable speakers that I got from Russia on eBay. It worked in KZfaq videos that the seller made, but it doesn’t turn on at all when you plug it in. It looks decent on the outside, but it’s probably got pretty bad damage inside: components jarred loose, maybe an ICB or two broken. (There’s a scary, heavy thump you hear and feel when you tilt the centre block.) There are NO schematics. And you said in your January 2020 comment: “I’ve repaired such stuff for a living.” So maybe you’ve quit that line of work: the long hours, tough to find spare parts, etc. But maybe you know someone else who can help me out…?

Actually, this video, was shooted backwards.

shut up you bellend

Tape lives. Good tape sounds as good as FLAC (and DAT tapes can be better than CDs), and it is material. People like to interact with real things, not virtual.

could not have said it better xD

FAKE! The cassette player at the end is not even the same one he was "working" on. You can tell because when he was brushing the rear panel off all the white lettering was almost gone. He scratched it off. There is no was in hell he silk screened all the manufacturer information back on to make it look factory fresh again. He swapped out the one he supposedly found for another player one.

How do people just *not get it* that this is fake?

It's the same deck. He filmed it "restored" first, then threw it in the mud for a week.

This tape deck video is also faked? Look at when he removed the alignment screws for the heads, you would have to do a full alignment and not something you can do with just a analog meter he shows. Dead giveaway is bottom casing taken from a different deck and not the one he pretended to grind away at. Notice he edits the video at that point. PCB board is also from another deck and not the same one he pulled. Ask any tech in your area and show them video and they will tell you it is faked. Watch his Acer laptop video and if you know anything about computers you know it is fake as he did a poor job faking that one to the point a lot of people in comments called him out on it and any tech will tell you it fake. He likely bought another exact model off eBay, or somewhere and switch it and showed the rusty transport and etc to make it look real and then put the good parts back in the end and showed it working and cleaned up. He screw up as you can clearly see he used a different bottom casing and main PCB logic board is different, he had to do that to make it look like he restored it. I hate guys like this as they take away from real techs and engineers that do this for a living. Yes I am a engineer and work on complex stuff regularly. No I not going to work on a rusted tape deck, or laptop that not worth anything just to get views off it look rusted and magically like new again. Any tech savvy friends you happen to know just show them the video and they will hopefully tell you it is faked as well as point out his mistake and reason it will never work. Better just watch his Restoration a damaged Acer Laptop video.

@@thetechgenie7374 I feel sorry for the naive viewers who will start hosing down their PC to clean them after watching this.

@@thetechgenie7374 He didn't use 2 identical units, just one and some clever editing!

@@pdtech4524 I can see them doing that and will save them the cost of having to buy a second one?LOL

@@thetechgenie7374 Yeah seems to be a recurring technique on this channel. Just have a look at the Acer laptop restore lol 😁⚠️ The first few minutes was enough for me, the mud on the screen has clearly been 'painted' on with a dirty finger! 😁⚠️

The extent of the corrosion looks like salt water, who knows some one could had accelerated the process further with battery acid. I can imagine how those trim pots will be very noisy and yet it was not replaced in the video. It would of made it more believable if he showed actual testing not fake testing, that is not my way of testing diodes. Have no idea why at the ending he needed a volt check with the lid closed 33m 11s when I expect a fully restore unit, seeing he went to that much trouble, where is the passion? (Yes, I can see the PSU is missing originally). If he was genuine you would seen his workshop and commentary on all the fault finding dramas together with a service manual explanation. This guy certain know how to create click baits to cause controversy.
