I wonder how much research that this guy has done on the technology that is being used to data mine everything we do. They sell that data, which is our personal intellectual property, and they don't disclose the accounting to us about how much income they are gaining from our data. They can tell when you turn on a Blender, micro, AC, WHATEVER. And also a multi level billing system, where they charge you MORE NOT LESS THAN BEFORE. My bill went up not down after install, they can do unimaginable things with the help of these and it's part of the surveillance state that's become increasingly concerning

Hello Spats! I was waiting for you to finally upload this video ha! I am the one that purchased the other one from Ebay! The first one you purchased that was damaged,I looked at that one but I was not happy with this condition.The one I purchased almost looks new and it has the extremely rare owner's manual with it as well! However , after requesting the seller to box the boombox up a particular way for safety purposes they didn't, and it came to me with the cassette door partially popped out,and the power button sometimes doesn't engage to power up it up. But it almost looks new. I'm probably going to be putting it back up for sale.Let me know if you would like another one! Cheers! Larry

Last Wednesday I picked up a Panasonic RX-5050 boombox. I found at a flea market for $15 in %100 working condition. I did just got done going through it to clean and lubricate the tape transport. The belts were still good had plenty of tension and weren't deformed. So I left the original belts in the unit.

Regarding shipping damage, I nowadays always write the fleabay seller a message with explicit instructions on how to package an item so that it will arrive safely, and also tell examples of what not to do. If they choose to ignore all that and it arrives damaged, it's refund time. With "unreplaceable" things, I sometimes even go on a road trip and pick stuff up directly so it can't be damaged during shipping.

Very nice, great job, Spats, making lemonade out of a lemon! 😊 I have a very small collection of boomboxes, and I've never yet had any GE box, I wonder if GE made their own or were they made by Sanyo or Panasonic or another manufacturer?
@spatsbear3 күн бұрын
It is a combination of both: GE made their own (Hong Kong or Singapore) and will have an FCC ID that starts with AKJ. They used Funai as an OEM (FCC ID A56 or ADT) for some models (very well made and fantastic performers) with some models unique only to GE (3-6035A for example as shown in this video; The 3-6035B was the same but made by GE Singapore). The 3-6045A was custom made for GE by Capetronic (FCC ID ANV) and there is a Telefunken clone of it.

ok.. these cassette decks allow you to remove the flywheel cover by providing holes to get to the screws.. explain to me why they cover up one of the screws to allow you to remove the tape motor.. seriously.. so you have to basically remove the plastic surrounding the cassette mech.. which is a pain.. when they could have just left a courtesy hole to remove the screw.. grrrr... great video BTW!

Thank you for this video! I found one of these VCR's recently. I got it mechanically working (belt issues of course), loads smoothly and plays with sound but no picture, and I was about to start diagnosing if I can find a service manual -- but it looks like I should start with a recapping. So, where did you find the service manual? I'm looking all over Google, and all I can find is a SAMs copy for sale. The manual you're using looks like it may be much better than SAMs -- can you tell me where you bought it, or can I get a copy from you?

Wonder why this has those slashes in the captions? I don't have this DVD so can't check myself, but most Disney DVDs have the identical text on the closed caption signal and the player-decoded subtitles.
@TheMediaHoarder16 күн бұрын
Digital "converter boxes" are required to output captions as a signal that can still be decoded by old decoders. Captions work a bit differently on DVDs also but I've never understood exactly how, some early Blu-Ray discs have them also. Some cheaper DVD players won't output the caption signal. Modern Blu-Ray players which lack analog video outputs have caption decoders built in. My Oppo player can also display them from digitized TV recordings played through a hard drive.
