One day.... One day I'll have bins upon bins of components just like you!❤

Tony, i am an electronics tech from way back, but not really. What I mean, is my job led me into directions where I found myself needing the high level knowledge and not the intimacy of "real" circuit analysis... (AKA "Board Swapper"). I later went into supervision and management of employees the last 10 years of my career. Now that I have retired, I am looking into creating a test bench and doing repairs for additional income. So, a long story longer, I struggle with choosing the test bench items I will need to get rolling. I have purchased some of the things I'll need, like several flavors of oscilloscopes, a Tektronics function generator, bench top VOM, LCR meter, a cheap transistor checker, 2 Hickok tube testers. Some of this stuff is eye-popping in cost. I found relief in seeing that you've obtained "possibly" useful equipment that has been superseded over the years by that you found more efficient or a better investment for the real estate on the bench. Thanks for the video!

This is a great tour video. Thank you sir!

Love it. For some reason I always find myself more interested in what people store in their parts bins more than anything else

I like your shop Tony. Keep making great videos!!

Nice 5/12 volt power supply! We used to find these at the Dayton Hamvention from the surplus dealers. They used to advertise you could weld with the 5 volt rail. I still have my Shindengen 14volt/50 amp power supply. The supply has an "82" build date code and is still running strong. These older supply's are built like tanks compared to the newer MeanWell supplies that come out of China. I have a Gitchers military radio structure with a 49KBTU ECU and a 28 volt DC power supply for the military radios that uses a 120vac 3 phase 400Hz input. Main breaker for the DC distribution is at 50A but I have been told this supply will crank at least 100A. The transformer in it must weigh in at at least 125 pounds, so much for linear supply's. this is slowly becoming my personal shop-ham shack-man cave/ storage unit.

Holy crap!!! You got a lot of stuff. No kidding, a very impressive and formidable array of electronics. Nice video.

Yep, reminds me of me. Before my simplify stage about 12 years ago.

Great stuff .... thank you !!!! I’m green with envy ....lol

lots of great goodies and parts galore the only things I did not see are phono cartridges and stylus's . wow a wood shop as well a man of many trades I look forward to seeing that as well . it is a great setup for the space you have great job . thank you for sharing this and I look forward to seeing more great videos

nice to see what others used in the shop.

awesome shop!

Nice little Work Shop..Very Good..

Nice to know I'm not the only one collecting bits & pieces since I was nine

I got into electronics at 8 as well. I moved a few times and lost much of my equipment. Fascinating seeing classic items and my uncle had halicrafters radios. I wish I could have kept most of it.

Been cruising KZfaq looking at electronics repair benches and finally see one that looks like a REAL work area. So many look like they were thrown together just to make a video. Nice 👍

Very nice. I've always wanted my own shop. Maybe some day.

Even then you had a lot of real pro gear, top tier included. Congrats on that :) Lotsa lovely hifi stuff too!

Xray Tony, you're awesome. I subscribed instantly.

Thanks for sharing

Nice workshop.

I love it, very nice basement lab. I have 9 oscilloscopes, 30 multimeters, 3 Fluke 27 fm, Fluke 289, Fluke 28 series 2, Fluke 87 V, Fluke 77 series 4, Fluke 179, Fluke 27 series 2, Fluke 97, Fluke 99 series 2, Siglent SDX 3045, Soar 3430, 3 VTVM's, 7 BK Precision, one Hioki and some othes. 5 Power Supplies, 8 soldering stations 3 of them Hakko. And many other things,. I don't need everything for my job, maybe with one oscilloscope and two multimeters are enought. Cheers.

Fantastic..i wana build workshop like this..~♥~

Lots of good test equipment you have there Tony. I used to work in electronics myself and used similar equipment while being employed in high tech. I'm retired for a few years now, but enjoy watching your videos because you take the time to explain the details of my projects. Especially your repair projects.

i am now 10 i started to learn and collect electronic componats since i was 8

Woooow

Hi Tony, remember me? I ordered those probes you advised me about for my Farnell Scope. I've just watched two walkarounds of your woodshop and electronics shop, all I can say is like WOW!!!!! you have some excellent gear around you. How on earth do you find time between all that and repairing tech, whilst at the same time making videos of what you do? I really don't know how you do it ................but I'm glad you do! Best regards Ray H ( From the U.K. )

Sencore SG165 is been my list for sometime

From Iran❤️

Im only 14 and i wish i grew up back in the day when you COULD get older (mostly better) electronics and tools. I have had bad luck buying soldering irons so far

Now I know why your called X-ray tony😆

warning I had alot of the same gear just for hobby use mostly. i had total loss fire, lost my home and everything in it!even though i had many pictures of my gear! my insurance was a joke. They basically said your gear is worth more to you then on the resale market and gave me maybe 5 cents on the dollar to replace it with! they said even with a rider on my policy you may get only part of what the rider claim is! SO I have been slowly replacing things out of pocket just like i bought them to begin with!being retired on pension its slow going! Thank god for Ebay! Dave wd8mbz

wires everywhere. I think all those electronic guys are a bit crazy

Do you have any problems keeping electrolytic caps for a long time? I worry that some I have in my drawers are so old now they have probably dried up. Because of that, I usually just order electrolytics as I need them.

Very Nice, I am now in the process of renovation my small work space to a more better organised space. I notice you have a lot of electricity cables running behind spaces.. Don't you fare a fire might brake out?

How can I find your items for sale on eBay? Thanks!

I don't know how you can work with such a small work bench area. Your just like me hoarding junk and old test gear you have not used in 15 years or more. I feel your pain honest man but get a skip and fill it. Give yourself some elbow room. God man ! A grid dip meter, I bet you got a modern spectrum analyser and a good signal generator why on earth would you ever want to go back and use a grid dip meter they were crap anyway . How much easier it is to give other people advise I cannot follow myself. PS yes that 300MHZ scope is much better than you need, I would be happy to give it a good home. Oh and your not using that kiethley meter much either. Best regards Chris

Good video and nice workshop. What is yor call sing radio? 73 EA7JUX

Wow. And then there are hoarders...

'LED's' Lmao

BUSY PLACE. NCE PLAY GROUND...
