EW0096 - National NV-370 VCR Investigation and Teardown
In this video we take a look inside a National / Panasonic NV-370 VHS VCR and then compare its electronic and mechanical parts to those from an NV-850 VCR. See my previous video: EW0095 - National NV-850 VCR Investigation and Fault Finding https://youtu.be/5r_ZXDiAM7o For a more in-depth look and fault finding of the NV-850 Model VCR.
Let's try out some of the National / Panasonic NV-850 HiFi Stereo VCRs from my collection and see if we can get at least one of them working.
Some fault finding was required for this. The service manual is very helpful.

People like to watch Un-Boxing videos? I am not sure of the appeal.
Here are some GaN USB-C Charger / Power Supplies unboxing. Some of them done during Tetris Live Streams.
These are part of a long term project to test the efficiency and performance of a wide range of Power Supplies. There will be a follow up video at a later stage where we go over the results of the power supply tests.
Taking a look inside two different Thunderbolt 3 Docks:
- HP ZBook Dock with Thunderbolt 3
- Caldigit TS3 Plus
Exploration of the chips inside and how the USB ports function.
Some discussion on techniques for double sided PCB assembly.
Let's replace the broken panel on the Samsung 55" Q7 TV with a new one.
Hopefully not breaking it in the process. It is a big and delicate TV Panel.
At the end a big peel off the screen protective sheet.
I was hoping that getting a motherboard with integrated Thunderbolt will solve the problems I had with the previous system I built in EW0059. It's Thunderbolt add in card is a bit unreliable.
Didn't quite work out.

Another Video camera Teardown and investigation. This time Hitachi FP-C1.
I had thought this was a tube camera, from its size, but it is CCD.
Will investigate 3 tube and single tube Video Cameras in future videos.
