This is where all the magic happens. Not really. This is where anything goes.
What am I doing? One day I’ll be fixing something at my local men’s shed. The next I’ll be running a pub. The podcast is still alive. Sort of.

You know, if you look back, you'll see videos on all sorts of things. But I wanted to make this channel for me to share stuff in my daily life, like Bikes, Burgers, Beers, but I also like guitar amps, and fixing things, and watches, and just learning about stuff. Subscribe and see what I get up to.
Does anyone know where to get that big CB22F .22 ohm 10% resister and in position R175 and R176 the 270 ohm 7w at 10% resisters? I can't find them on the net.
Such a bad feeling of letting a bike go! I remember selling my Suzuki gs 500 e (first bike). It felt soo bad! I had very good memories which were connected to that bike despite being convinced that it was not the right bike for me in the end. Now I own a classic 500 - not nearly as many kms on the clock but it really will never leave me! 😊 Can't imagine the pain to sell it!
@@motomoog they definitely have a loud fan. Not ideal for recording at all. I always believe a good recording amp is a smaller low wattage unit. Often they have no fan or small ones. The Mark Bass Nano 300 I have only turns the fan on when it gets into heavier stuff and you’re pushing the speakers.
Brillient thanks. learnt something. Fixed a blackstar they even more of a cow to fix. Your fault findind was great. Me thinking possibly something was shunting the signal on V2, any great video.
Dear oh dear...you amp techs never stop moaning! Whatever amp you're working on you just moan like fu#k about it. Boogie, Fender, you name it...if you actually have to do some work on it, it's a piece of sh#t! I've yet to find an amp tech that doesn't whine like hell and doesn't have a head the size of a planet!
Nice job thanks for sharing. I have a Mexican made P bass and another from Asia " P bass "Moon " It was new and paid $70 dlls , the magnets of the "moon bass " are stronger than the Mexican P bass and have more output , I wonder if I can damage my bass amp using those cheap pickups .
@@Fili2009able it won’t damage anything unless you crank the amp up and blow the speaker. The higher power output doesn’t necessarily mean better tone though. But that is always a matter of personal taste.
Claro que si , pero no se tiene la opción de ponerle mas agudos o graves al bajo , tienes que controlar el tono desde el amplificador y si estas tocando en vivo debes de dejar de tocar o esperar a que termine la canción y ir al amplificador para hacer cambios y ponerle mas graves o agudos a tu sonido del bajo , muy incomodo porque si tocas varios estilos de canciones no es practico tener solo el volumen .
This is a fantastic video, thank you. I actually have a Seiko 5 7009-3040 with kind of the opposite issue, the day doesn't change anymore by setting it through the crown but it changes correctly after midnight. Edit: by "day" a mean the name of the day of the week, not the number.
mine broke again i tried fixing the cold solder joints its making a loud noise with very little guitar sound coming through its weak...bad bored possibly ?
I am happy for you that you were able to fix it ! My guitar store told me those amps were impossible to repair (Boss Katana, Yamaha THR, Roland Blues Cube and Fender Tonemaster), all relying on components such as the ones you find in your phone ... That's the reason why I don't buy them, for the sake of the planet I don't want to change my gear and buy a new one before the end of the warranty, due to planned obsolescence problem. I only have valves amp, why are reparable. The only digital stuff I own is my Boss Waza Air headphone because it is soooo much convenient and doesn't need any cable at all.
@@franckrichard8077 while it’s true, a B lot of things are unrepairable these days, it’s due to proprietary technology. You can’t seem to find off the shelf parts like chips, resistors and capacitors that will be easily found. But it can also be a case of the shop not wanting you to get it repaired and wanting you to buy something else. It’s in their best interest.
0:23 After pulling the amp selector knob off, remove the nut holding the selector to the black plastic surround. This is part of what holds the circuit board to the fram along with the nut/washer on the power switch and the screw holding the circuit board from the inside. I missed this nut (it wasnt mentioned in the teardown) and pulled my amp selector switch in half (looks like i can bend the metal tabs back and it will be fine). I have a broken memory selector #1 so thats why i was tearing it down.
Great video, but i am struggling to get the board with the switch to come unset from the outside (I took the screw out of the board, amp select knob off and the nut/washer from the toggle switch). Any tips for this part? I have pulled fairly hard but dont want to break anything else. Seems like all the lights, tuner display, and memory switches won't release.
In case anyone has the issue I did, I missed the nut under the amp selection switch. Take it off with a socket. I pulled hard and pulled the amp selected switch in half, so don't pull hard!
As I am a tube man, I bought the 212r Fender amp only to have enough headroom if there is no PA on stage. Finally I love the clean sound of this 212R by using my pedals. With no effect pedals it is already pretty nice for a solid state and sounds typically "Fender", just a bit colder and punchier than my tube amp. As soon as I use the pedals, the difference in sound to my tube amp is minor in my ears, but the 212R stays a lot longer clean when cranked up. My tube amp goes into distortion when I play it loud, which is an unwanted effect to me. I prefer to use the solid state to stay as clean as possible. That´s what I need it for. No distortion at all is what I call my own style. The 212R is not very reliable. Therefore I will replace some resistors and diodes by better ones as soon as the amp restarts to have issues. By the way: I love my tube amp. I ever preferred tube amps, but the maximum clean headroom that I want comes out of a solid state amp.
The customer was informed of that and in fact they mentioned to me that it’ll likely need it as the pot shaft will be a larger diameter on higher quality pots. They’re drilled out to industry standard. The way you’re saying it is like I drilled it out with a flat blade screwdriver. 😂😂😂
Don’t get me wrong, they’re good amps when they’re working. But they are poorly made with plenty of cost cutting. Definitely see Peavey has lost its way.
Just did my first chain adjustment on my Rebel. Feels alright. No more slack wack when shifting. 😂😂. Now if i could get the horrible squeaking out of the front break. Rotors are smooth as glass so I dont suspect a rock. Just going to tear it apart and see if anything turns up. 😂
Nice work with the chain. Just remember to leave the manufacturer recommended slack to account for the swingarm movement. As for the brake squealing, it could be glazed. You could get away with trying to bed in the brakes again, but if it’s bad, it’ll require a new disc and pads. Machining discs is kind of a thing if the past these days as the discs are so thin to begin with. What causes it is generally riding the brakes. Take a look at your braking technique and adjust if necessary.
I could be wrong, but I believe those caps were a low voltage circuit that wasn’t too vital. I can’t remember but I would have likely tested them anyway.
Usually you just press the crown release or some movements require you to undo a setting screw half a turn. Every movement is different, and different model of TAG watches will come with a different movement. Usually the setting release is pretty obvious though.
@@whatsstefon Awesome! Thanks! I can’t seem to find how to release the stem on my aquaracer but you’re video made me realize exactly what’s wrong with it. My crown needs replacement! Now even if i take it somewhere, I know what to say and what to tell them I need! Great video! The only one like it out there! You’re awesome. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly too!
To Center the new nut, just put on both e- strings .when they are running correctly, jut mark fretboard and nut, remove all the sh.. and glue in the nut. Measuring ,measuring, measuring. And then fu.. up everything😊
@@whatsstefon before glueing in you can also trim the edges and any overlap on the sides, as well as polishing the nut. I have also seen people filing down the nut slot to get the correct height or width of the nut. Absolutely weird!
Kapton tape is used in surface mount technology manufacturing. It's used to tape off the gold "fingers" connections before the wave solder process. I know, I worked in SMT for 34 years.
Have you got any tips on replacing a crown gasket on a similar tag. I’ve got a WK1221 that is just about failing a pressure test. Case back O ring looks perfect so I assume it’s crown gasket.
I believe the gasket is within the crown. You’ll need to remove it, clean the crown in an ultrasonic cleaner, and replace the gasket. Don’t forget to silicon grease it. What sort of water pressure testing are you doing? If you use a tester with water in it, unlike the fancy new ones, you’ll see the source of the leak.
We don’t use q-tips in Watchmaking. They will leave fibres behind which can enter the movement or stick to the silicon grease on the gaskets and completely negate the water resistance, allowing dirt and moisture to enter the watch. The watch was later manually cleaned using pegwood, and put through ultrasonic cleaning to remove build up dirt.
Thank you. It sure is a beast. Barely sore from an 11.5hr 800km stint in one go from Maroochydore to Tamworth. 7am to 6:30pm. That last hour was brutal.
Just FYI...at least in the USA, the "L" in "solder" is silent. And, the thing you are working on is referred to as a "pick-guard", not a "scratch plate".
had replace the battery, reset it dan setting the time was good...all buttons was working at this time, but the led doesnt light up... am I missing something? appreciate the help if possible mate... thanks
Good quality movement. Less likely to break anything. I still practice the same thing just to avoid doing it on all movements unless they have a semi quickset date where you have to go back and forth between 9am and midnight to set the date.
Can you tell me why i have had many many shocks over my 51 years of being an amplifier service and repair technician and m still here alive and kicking yet youtube video providers such as yours say its fatal and I will die ?.
lol. I have to disagree. My 2013 Sporty had 100,000km when I sold it. Trouble free. This Ultra has 88,000km and still going strong. Rubber deteriorates. My Tiger had all the rubber hoses fail, the indicators fell off, and so on.
@@thomasobrien5976maybe. I’ve had plenty of bad luck too. Two of my last brand new Japanese bikes failed with less than 10km on the speedo. One failed during pre-delivery at the dealer. Both Harley’s I’ve owned are rock solid as.
