A fun look at some of the technology from yesteryear. A bit of history, repair and modifications.

When I’m not tinkering around in the basement I’m also renovating caravans and other things @feeandjohsrenovationshow

You have the Mac Pro 3,1 which is really very slow. I am now using the dual Xeon 5690, 12 core Mac Pro 5,1 using 96 GB 1333 RAM, and an NVMe 2 x SSD on PCIe, dual boot, macOS and Windows 11 Pro. With OpenCore the dual boots work native on the machine. No Boot Camp and no emulator needed. I have Radeon RX 6800. With this I can play Red Dead Redemption 2 with all graphics on Ultra, and still get good frame rates. It will give good performance on pretty well all current games. For a 15 year old machine, that is pretty good.

Bootcamp is a pain in the butt sometimes. You could always try and run it in compatibility mode for 98, 95 or Vista from within the properties of your game file. Anyway, it was a fun video and seeing the process is quite fascinating. Good work.

The reason my pc crashed and blackscreened with the fans blasting was bcs of the video drivers and the video card did not receive enough power from the psu. Maybe this is one of the reasons

Possibly. I tried 2 different PSUs, and also 2 different video cards, in different PCI slots, and nothing helped 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for this clear and detailed video explanation! My Model M stopped working properly when I tipped a glass of wine over it 😖 so I'm going to have a go at cleaning it up when it's dried out. 🤞 I found a narrow 5.5mm socket on line at Amazon - BGS 10503 | Socket, Hexagon, deep | 6.3 mm (1/4") Drive | 5.5 mm - for GBP 2.84. No worries!

Many thanks Sir, this your hommage to our own SWE Stig's speakers, and you all the way from the Antipodes! And a contest to you, dear followers, you just try your best to find a sexier speaker - new or vintage - than a pair of these, carefully restored all the way with new surface treatment of the veneer and everything! And then comes its sound - where does this wiiide sound really come from? - Jezzzs. What have the loudspeaker engineers been doing during these 50 yrs?

Excellent Job, and about the only other way is to cut it off, but that is really dicey, and I would only do it on an older nastier drill. Your drill here is in like new condition. DeWalt should be ashamed on this whole drill chuck issue, but it looks like newer drills have improved, at least in the case of runout issues. Put a Rohm chuck on it next time! Peace! 👍

The Dearing ring which sits directly under the tonearm gimble( they break) second, the stauerpimple a tiny rubber cup on a post that the lifting paddle moves to set the tonearm down -lift at end of record. I'm working with some engineers on the ring replacement. Also, the cartridge sled ( where connections from cart to tonearm are made) goes really bad on wiring. There are sellers on ebay for new sleds.
