Welcome to the Beautiful-Electronics-Blog, BEB. Free teardown videos and education.

Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3DcrZ2pV0Y9gR3xS1swTqGPNWHxaplye

Ad-free, if you watch my videos within 48 hours after release.

Box 1 is a lot of random stuff, that I got from that suspiscious Tektronix seller, as gotten to know in ep. 29. Mercury-vapor lamp. Radio dial in speedo form. Broken Philips reel-2-reel machine. All tubes missing. Broken turntable. A pile of B-stock and faulty tubes.

Box 2 is a Tektronix scope model 515A, acquired from an honest seller. This scope is in good shape, with only a few marks. All tubes are in place. I might do a full restauration video on this device later this year.

Box 3: A pack of Telegärtner BNC connectors, a Crestron remote control with touch display and it's stand.

Box 4: Siemens MKV capacitor. It's Q-factor far beyond 1000 makes it one of the best capacitors in the world, in terms of lowest damping.

Box 5: Mayer Makes donation. A curve plotter from ABB, short teardown. Two strange IC's. Maker Fair Vienna sticker. Roches unite. Big thanks to Clemens.

Box 6: That parcel that I have acquired from DextersLab2013 long time ago. If only I could find it. Instead, I am opening up a box of Siemens MKH capacitors that I've got on ebay.

Box 7: Pheonix Crimpfox M, a modular crimping tool with separate inserts. Stolen on Ebay.

Box 8: APT-X ISDN manager. With a ridiculous outtake. Short teardown of that device, featuring a Motorola 68000-family microprocessor and a large EPROM. Battery ratteling aroung.

You will also see:
Reason told for lack of uploads. A brief look at future episodes. Keysight U1733C LCR-meter. Random stuff. Outtake. Huge pile of mailbags - they all will be opened in future episodes.

from 31:20 onwards: everything is fine though. Don't worry. Don't take it too serious. Eli, ich liebe Dich, mein süßer Schatz. And free hugs to everyone.

I know that this production is not brilliant. But please be fair, and don't compare with productions of fulltime-youtubers. Still, this video took me several days to roll and edit. I did my best to provide you 30 minutes of good electronics related entertainment. I am receptive to constructive feedback, but yeah, please practise some politeness, thank you.

LOL, yes, I've noticed the grammatical errors and typos throughout the entire video. Especially at 30:55, grammar and pronunciation as it should be: there ARE so many TARE down videos. Reason is, I always get excited when I'm in front of the rolling camera. But I will do better next time.

Script, Camera, post production: Max
Footage recorded between September 2016 and 22nd of April 2017 in Dobl, Steiermark. Edited and uploaded on Youtube on 22nd of April 2017. Total time spent on this production was approx 2 full working days. A huge loss in money. Was it worth the effort?
