I almost fell out of my chair laughing with "Austria, not Australia". ;-) BTW, a bit of 100% DeOxit applied to the PCB fingers sometimes loosens the tight connection up a bit if you let it sit for a while...but yanking on it works too!

The puppet has again made a good restoration of a famous multimeter ! - We have to keep repairing over and over again because there is too much waste in electronic equipment today! in 2021 no plan, no firmware do do this !

Thats such a cool old meter, good to see it restored and working.

Ooff well it looks like I'll have to clean the switch bank in my 1978 Keithley 5 1/2 digit multimeter. On the 20 Ohms range (that's 1mOhm accuracy!) it often reads garbage. And I really like that setting, because when it works I can much easier find short circuits or defective ICs. The other settings pretty much always work though. (That thing actually runs on a 6802 CPU...) These CD4016s like to go bad... C'mon, there's CERN in Switzerland... one of their dumpsters' gotta be connected to Dave Jones' dumpster through the core of the planet :-D. (they have an e-waste dumpster in every building near the entrance door that's just screaming "Hey! Need parts for a project? Help yourself!" I got a bunch of mysterious hybrid ICs that are unobtainium, ungoogleable, but say CERN on them. Cool. Useless but cool.)

Careful with random ICs from CERN... maybe they create portals to other realms? 😜 There might be a movie in that idea... Sadly, I don't have access to such dumpsters. The occasional washer or microwave in the communal dump is the best I could do but I'd rather not touch those items.

@@atkelar Well OK I don't find measuring equipment in the dump all the time (less than once a year), but I did score a Tektronix 535 that only needed a few tubes. But as many CRT TVs as I like. Definitely more than I can store. Old stereo equipment, more often than expected I find ancient computers! Like 2 years ago I scored a Rockwell AIM-65 in working order. And a few weeks later a VC-20 that only needed a new Kernal ROM. 6 years ago I scored big. As in huge. 5 Commodore 64 - all of the breadbin variant. 5 1541 disk drives. 2 Amiga 500. A Sony CDP-101 (the first ever consumer CD player). A Roland SH-2000 (the second ever synth with programmable aftertouch, 1974). A Roland Jupiter 4 (from 1978-1982 every second discopop song ever made uses one of these). And two Apple ][ clones, homebrew. And I got pretty much all of that working!

Ah yes, in the 80s, the C64s seem to have gotten some use as "data logging computers" - around here we got a new coal power plant at that time and they put out some environmental sensor stations. I recall that they had some 19" racks of instruments which fed into an SX-64 with an attached printer for data logging.

I was of course being a bit tongue in cheek ;) but those things are pretty expensive, especially if you only plan to use them once a year perhaps... I just can't justify the expense of even used ones.

@@atkelar Ive also got 3 DC calibrators... I think I need help LOL, all of these I picked up as faulty units and repaired, you seem to have enough skill to tackle something like that, maybe keep an eye out for a broken one, you will be surprised how often you end up using one to check things.

Ah! I think YT has a bit of a strange way of handling these premieres. Most of my viewers said - so far - that they got the notification "spot on time"; I have no idea when (or even if) YT notifies subscribers about that. I *really* like the live chat feature though and a bit of lead time gives people a chance to gather if they want to. Normally, there is a bit less lead time: I finished the video at 4am and had a workday, sorry about that, the usual "premiere in a few hours" setting didn't make sense this time.
