About
My channel was started primarily to inspire people to repair things themselves. A few years ago it came to my attention that even grown-up men that I knew could barely do anything at all with their hands. I have even met men that did not even know how to hang a shelf, for example. Also, for many things a specialist is needed nowadays. Modern product design is also geared toward letting people do less and less themselves. Ever try to work on a new car? I remember my dad working on his old Dodge Dart whenever it needed maintenance.
I primarily focus on repairing transistorized vintage audio equipment, mainly Japanese or American equipment from the 1960s to the 1980s. Here and there I might do a restoration, but that is altogether different from a repair. Also, I often try to do the repairs with basic test equipment, based on the realization that every person does not have expensive and exotic test equipment at their disposal.
