looks likee you have a dick smith multimeter on your bench, i have one here too in australia.

Such a great video! As a teenager in the 80's I developed a hobby of repairing old TVs. One of my grandfathers friends had a brother who ran a TV repair shop in Bloomfield CT. He really helped teach me and help me understand the basics of diagnostic repair. I wish I still had the 1960 RCA color Roundie that he gave to me, it was such a cool basic styled set. Now years later I suddenly have the urge (and time) to get back into this hobby. I just picked up a REALLY nice 1959 Silvertone Medalist to begin the new adventure. The set looks to be very low hour but will get the recap treatment. The prior owner said it doesn't work... I don't plan to try to fire it up without being a little more careful

Is this Bemidji, Minnesota?

Outstanding. I want floats on a Cessna 310

And you don´t have to register your cameras either.....

This demonstration of the modern computer editing was rather superfluous. I wanted to see more of the historical and old machines and procedures. Today I myself edit in Premiere Pro. But I have been editing in both the U-matic and Betacam formats back in the days.

Could you video-tape the pictures from the first colour cameras?

How could you overcome the problem when cutting and splicing the tape when the picture was cut at one point and the sound at another point?

Well, didn´t colour TV start in the US already in 1953? So I have heard...

My name is JoAnn and I am working at the Bear Mountain Fire Lookout this summer. I'm completely socked in with fog this morning so I thought I would organize the file drawers and came across a note in the back of the communication log binder. It lead me to your KZfaq channel - which makes me think of my father - Ham Radio, EAA, Oshkosh, etc. I've been to several of the things you've included here so I and members of my family may ever show up in these. Thanks for the memories.

Those of us who knew and flew often with Max Folsom will totally affirm this is totally plausible. I knew him at his Dad’s air service when he was a kid. Loved flying with all including Dick, Charlie Coe, and all. Fantastic memories for my whole family including my 3 sons.

Jet flap?

Worked as an A&P/IA at KSUA in Florida in the early 1990s, saw this beauty a few times. At the time the taxiways were barely wide enough for it to taxi.

💯💯💯

Thank you for the informative video. I live in Oregon. To me, South Dakota is fly over country. I was a former lookout, in SW Oregon. Worked four towers over the years. They are all automated now

I worked 4 lookouts in Oregon. The real thing. Thank you for this video. My first visitor. After 3 months. An Army vet from the Vietnam War. Good man. He stayed a long while. 3 hours. But a smoke popped up in my area, while he was here. Above a cloud deck. I reported it.

Brought me back to 1952. My first airline flight in a Chicago and Southern Airways DC-3 from St. Louis to Memphis. Came back to St. Louis in a Connie. Wait while I dry my eyes.

Knowing that "we" put Japanese people into camps...I was surprised to learn we had such a language school. I'm retired Army, too young for even the Korean War, and I'm a fairly good linguist...but this wasn't something I had expected. He cites many parallels to the Palestine-Israeli present problem. Priceless interview here.

Amazing this had no advertisements. I've been through much of that area and can relate to some of these stories...I'm from Wisconsin and know many of the early stories before statehood and all the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack era...back then they hit "peak wood" and a century later we hit "peak oil". I often passed by a sunken village on/in Lake Wissota...the stories are soooo similar to those of where I'm from. There is a book about my grandfather called the Lumberjack Frontier and Eau Claire has a L.J. Museum. Good information in this video.

A fourth one? I’ve been on top of the other 3. Very interesting. Sounds like a secret tower out there somewhere. What’s the story?

Great job Dave!

Only flight enthusiasts can begin to comprehend what this video shows. Astounding!!!!!!!!

It's all there in my book, "The Secret War and General Vang Pao 1958-1975" available everywhere

He was interestng to listen to. Should have shown his dog. More photos would be nice.

I missed my calling by 30 years I guess! I have over 500 hours flying skydivers in a Porter and Twin Otters. I am sure it wasn't all fun but never dull!

REALLY GREAT LOOKING SHOP THE FLUK METER YOU HAVE THERE WHAT IS THE MODEL NUMBER MY FRIEND HAD MINE HE JUST PAST AWAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT THE MODEL NUMBER OF THE ONE ON THE BENCH, FROM ONE TV RADIO MAN TO A NOTHER THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IF POSSIBLE,,,...

!fun video, liked the scout and Elvis j3cub

Hi David I'm Haytham from Lebanon. I'm working electronic maintenance especially radio tubes and TV antique. And I have some tubes in my store

Is that woman your s ? Show your house.....

I love shopping for antiques. This place sure has a lot of antiques. Thank you for posting this video.

My favourite kind of shop. I could spend hours in a place like this plus lots of £'s as well.

God Bless You And Family Thank You For Your Service Praying In Jesus Name Amen

And there we go again. The Beaver proving how versatile it is. Easy to understand why it has such popularity among the people who rely on it.

I drove through Greenville in the early 90s, on my way to kayak the West Branch, and saw the DC-3, at Folsoms, up on shore, still on floats. I wish I had taken some pictures of it. The amphib floats are huge ! I flew DC-3 a bit in Kenya, out of Nairobi Wilson in the late 70s. Just this summer, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum flew their C-47 into Parry Sound, Canada and were offering a 20 minute hop for passengers. Beautiful C-47, that had flown on D-day and dropped British Paratroopers. Pratt 1830s weren't leaking any oil on the ramp either, rare for a DC-3.

I gave you a Thumbs Down as you guys were so unsafe! I counted so many OSHA safety infractions it was crazy. You're lucky you haven't become a bouncer. Showing how to climb a tower, whether it's 30 feet or 300 feet is great information, but ONLY when it's done properly. Your tower climber should be ashamed. I don't give a hoot if that's how he's always done it. He's been lucky. Very STUPID but lucky. The crane operator.... wow! You see him unlatch the boom and let it swing WHILE a person was at the junction point? Who are you people?!!

Found myself coming back to this. It’s a relaxing watch and I really want to visit. US National Parks always interest me despite living in the UK.

See also the Chase/Stroukoff YC-134E. An upgraded C-123 with BLC for STOL, and a waterporoofed fuselage (no "step", as on a seaplane), with a pair of big flat skis. On skis, it operated from dry land, water, snow, sand, etc. The 5-sided funny farm in its wisdom, saw no use for it. Recently they were delving back into putting floats under a MC-130J, and presently (2023) DARPA is looking into a large GEV/Seaplane for logistics called "Liberty Lifter" after the Liberty Ships. It called for ability to operate from waves, or to fly up to 3km, and for sustained forward operations at unimproved, minimal conditions.

This sounds fascinating. However what happens in dire circumstances when the internet backbone is Knocked out? Isn’t ham supposed to get through when nothing else will? Seems crippling when it would be needed most.

How many years ago was this?

Great Video Guys, Im 65 Now and i do remember this stuff. The good old days

Also see: *Jim Burns* He does full restorations

I flew on a Beaver out of Spencer Lake that was owned and piloted by Folsom flying service Greenville Maine. That was sometime in the 1970s late 1970s What an experience.!

Takes me back to when I was a kid working in a TV repair shop in the 1970's. Even though it was a time of transitioning from vacuum tubes to transistors, we had a wall of tubes (though not as large as in the video), a book that said which tubes could be substituted, and Sam's Photofact schematics. I forgot the benches with the power strips. The next shop was smaller and didn't have all the stuff.

I'm sure North American had better and faster ways to do this job in 1944.

My great Grandfather, Theodore Wysocki was one of the original founders of St. Stanislaus Church

This was before transistors, they used vacuum tubes!
