I was an avionics tech for 20 years and work on that unit a lot. The led that you refer is a valid red or black indicator, meaning for line service reference if is shows red mean three is a potencial issue with the electronics, if black all circuits and gyroscope working at nominal parameters.thanks for the video, brought a lot of memories 👍

I love how a French is disassembling a Boeing plane component... it makes it feel a lot like a James Bond movie where they're discovering secret enemy technology... 😂 Jokes aside, great video, very interesting!

This is a beautiful piece of hardware - thank you very much for sharing with us - and for all of your efforts!

This thing is far more expensive than a new car. Top engineering and construction.

Wow not seen one of these for a long time used to repair/ overhaul these when i used to work for Honeywell

Génial! As-tu déjà essayé de les alimenter pour voir si ils fonctionnent encore(même simplement le moteur du gyro)?

it's from 1975, and came from a boeing 737-200.

Just watched your other gyro videos which led me here, did you ever power this gyro? I would love to see this on running... Thanks for the great content

It may actually be the next one I try to power on.

I cant wait to see it, I wonder if it spins up as fast as the smaller ones? Could be quite scary.

Thank you for the video! How does the red thing that senses shock work?

Here is the manufacturer website shockwatch.com/products/impact-and-tilt/impact-indicators They do not really say how it works, it must be a deal of glass tubes filled with liquids.

they are glass tubes filled with a white powder. Inside this powder is a very thin glass tube filled with red liquid. If you shake it too hard or hit it with something, the inner tube breaks and the liquid leaks into the powder. Then you will see red from the outside.

That's a good one! funny though the boards almost look like the Russian electronics, lots of brown!

seems like hobby electronics circuits :) at that years there were very goog looking computer electronics indeed

Could you MCAS teardown? And 737 max sofware?

"Ah, yes! It's a 'Zubion', I think..."

how do you find this stuff?

The metal tabs could be indicators of excessive G-force. They bend up or down depending on the direction of the shock.

may be. I don't think so. they are too strange

How old is this model? It looks like an antique in today's world of modern solid state (and non mechanical) electronics! I would not want to be the one that builds and wires it up!

I used to work on these gyros repair and overhaul must of worked on these specific ones for around ten years. It was very satisfying work as well as calibrating and testing them.

This kind of gyro today costs more than the craft.i prefer Litton tricubic laser gyroscope of the MD 82

Super sympa ce concepts quel dommage que ce soit en anglais tampicos pour l’abonnement.

Wow even super expensive components still have that terrible laser etched data sheet. I was really hoping for a stamped one

Quel accent ! A couper au couteau !

Его что в 60х годах собирали? В миг15 что-то похожее

sooooo sad you have not tried to spin it !!! 400hz problem?

If I remember correctly I was not able to find the connections to the motor, I might try it again someday tho.

Tu parle Francais ou Anglais?)

Just don’t piss the gyro

I thought that you werent speaking english for the first 15 seconds...

it's funny that now you can do all of this with few bucks in a chip

didn't know that, that is amazing.

Почему питание не включил? Лучше бы французские гироскопы показал, которые американцы убили.

Can't understand a word you say.

L’accent est difficilement supportable….

Gyro............, always flat on flat Earth, okay.
