    Got to the 7:30 mark and PMSL at your comment. Everyone at work looks at me weirdly when I say that when wearing nitriles.

    What a beautiful specimen. Oh, and thanks for the heads up with that 303 stuff. I paused the video and ordered some the moment I saw what it did for your machine.

    I have enjoyed watching 🙂 I was looking for a 1/4“ nut driver to screw off my PET monitor so hard… and then, you were doing just that. I was sitting there smiling from ear to ear 🤣 I am looking forward to watch the next part. Not only for the monitor to be screwed back on, but I am excited to see it working (hopefully).

    Looks fantastic now, great work. And I really appreciate you showing all the steps, I feel like I now know everything I need to take one of my PETs apart; previously it's been a bit frightening!

    You could use a pencil eraser to remove the dirt instead of water and baking soda.
