That’s funny when you mention the smoke test. I thought of “Brad the Guitaroligest” keep replacing things and burning things until it’s all replaced and fixed. Lol 😂. Great videos I’ve learned a lot over the years from your videos.
I don't think she's got 'the bug' yet. It's not until kids get 'the bug' that they really get right into electronics and are hungry and attentive to learn as much as they can. Girls tend to get it less than boys do.
OMG Terry, look how much Emi has grown ; right before our eyes. I tell you brother, one day she is going watch these videos and have fond memories of time with Grandpa. Poor Emi looks tired, god bless her. I love watching these videos. BTW Terry, I bought one of those hair clippers and used it myself and it works great !! Thanks for the tip!!! One day you should have Marsha host a video and calls it MLab and you can bring her wine... Role reversal :) Love it. GREAT JOB !!!!
I've had the same thing happen trying to repair equipment at times. Troubleshoot to a conclusion, reasonably sure I've identified the bad part, go through all the time and effort to replace it, and... only to have the exact same problem as before. Few things more frustrating. Emmi's pretty young, as she gets older I think she'll eventually realize what a golden opportunity she has, and how fortunate to have such a great grandpa and teacher. Be patient, from what I'm experiencing with my own 10 year old great nephew, it takes time, he seems to be kind of surrounded and absorbed right now with his age specific influences and entertainment coming at him from all directions, and tends to get bored quickly with things that fall outside of that.
A friend of Mine was the Engineer for Whites Metal Detector came up with the discriminator Circuit for the Whites Metal detectors his name is William Lahr. We used to go gold panning together with a dredge he had made and the whites metal detector when we were sniping cracks for gold. A very sold unit.
Off topic but it's important. You Johnson guys out there are crazy! I had an eye on a Viking some months ago, not the II, and it went unsold because he wanted over $550. So he relisted it of course. I was waiting to see if reality might sink in. Nope! He upped the price. I couldn't belive it. Last I saw it was almost a grand, with no lookers. So I bought my Heathkit. lol. Heck, all I wanna do is toss out a quick 'n8nk' after the 30 minute long CQs on 80 AM. ... he slides the clamp on the neck of his chrome lollypop up.. setting the brick on the key as it were.. and says clearly into the blindingly shiny lollypop head "cq" - then he turns inward, and ponders the meaning of life. Some minutes later he issues another introspective "cq" then wanders into the kitchen to make his morning pot of joe. Fresh steaming cup in hand 30 minutes later, I hear footsteps... and then comes forth a relaxed, slowly ennunciated "cq... cq... cq... this is joe-dirt calling cq... joe-dirt, mid America calling cq... over and listening for any call" :) 73!
I had to return the selenium speaker. Very bad speaker, it has cone like elephant's ear, no details, no bass, very low sensitivity, even massive magnet can´t help. I can´t believe JBL produce such bad speaker. Thanks for the video, your friend is completely deaf.
Hey Terry, do treasure your time with Emi. She's an exceptional young lady. Our daughter, Sarah (N9YWQ) & I did the same thing 25 years ago & she got her Tech Plus at that time. Time passes by way too fast. Thankfully, she's still maintained her interest & recently got her General. I hope Emi will do the same.
Good video. I have a Whites Eagle II and needed a part for it. The awesome folks at Whites sent me the part for NO CHARGE! Top notch customer service and parts dept. The battery pack is the same one as I use in mine. Keep her interested, as it can benefit her in later life, and maybe one day it will be her lab!
Terry, I met you at the Southfield show a few months ago. (I'm in your video.) I too am an avid detectorist. My White's mxt had similar issues. With this video I found the problem. Thanks man!
Hi D-Lab, great videos and Lab setup. Thank you for posting. Would you happen to know of a replacement switch for the Mode Selector Switch on a Whites CoinMaster 6000, or any information that would help me find a replacement switch on arrow/ digikey / mouser etc...? I'ld like to replace a broken mode selector switch for a friend's kid.
I watched my dad fix radios and black and white TV's in the early 50's. He explained everything as he went along just like you did. Those were magic times and I was wired for life.
My old man gave me an ohmmeter when I was 10 years old and he taught me how to use it. That was 50 years ago.
Great job Terry ... or should we say Mr. Fixit! That was cool, thank you!
I call that a Polish Watt Meter. It's a handy piece of test equipment, especially when you use someone elses finger.
Emi is a great helper!
16:16 Grab the FLIR camera 😃 I just got one recently really handy device! Cheer, #SeattleRingHunter

Minelab Sovereign xs . No go. Where to begin ? I see no fuses.
Still cuter than a bugs ear! :) Nice job Emi and Terry. "Smoke Test!" was on VWestlife I think or was it uxwbill.
How much you pay your apprentice?
Hi I have the same issue with that orange cap but mine is destroyed, what value capacitor is it? Thanks
Hello? would you mind helping out please.
respect and one love from Greece
poor Emi yawns...
I don't think she's got 'the bug' yet. It's not until kids get 'the bug' that they really get right into electronics and are hungry and attentive to learn as much as they can. Girls tend to get it less than boys do.
Mmm..,a nice lesson.♥👍

Hey Bud, whats the process if someone wanted to send one in to you for repair?

I have been watching you and granddaughter fixing a whites metal detector. How can I send you mine. No power possible same reason.

I have a White's mxt that needs a off/gain potentiometer. Would you have information on a part number or where I could get a replacement?
Great detector back in the day. Still a highly sought after one today. Good job getting it going again.

Good job man 👍
Can i have the schematic for 5900di sl....?
Do you know how to convert a bad Whites XLT screen to the new the new LED replacement?
Terry D - Electronics Surgeon!
where can i get a schematic for the electronic of my xl 600 pro
Emmy looks pretty bored she is at home all the day I guess 😂👴👴

HEAVY METAL GUITAR DETECTOR

Nice job.
Need your address in case my detector takes a crap!

Emi, learn as much as you can from grandpa Terry and someday, when you're older, you'll look back with a smile on your face. Cherish every moment.
Great job!!! Terry and Emy , you never surrender , greetings from Santiago chile !!!
Circus Board repair by Grandpa Terry.... Good to see Emi in the shop! Nice work you two.
Hi Bob!
Terry, you did the right thing in changing the pair of capacitors, "changes are it would have come back to the shop".
The lesson is to get someone else to provide the Polish Watt Meter.
I have 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson I can’t wait until they’re old enough for grandpa to teach them radio and guitar
Emmy's into it, if she wasn't she'd be outta there! Pretty neat to see. Keep it going Terry!
Home schooling the D-lab way. Hope Emi gets an "A"!
Terry, I met you at the Southfield show a few months ago. (I'm in your video.) I too am an avid detectorist. My White's mxt had similar issues. With this video I found the problem. Thanks man!
Cool deal man! Glad to have been of assistance!
I think Emi was ready to grab the clipper again...
Terry do you think Em will ever get her Ham ticket?
So awesome of you to teach the younger generations .............
Clearly that thinking juice helps a lot
Terry it was just an " open fuse " haha!
Hi D-Lab, great videos and Lab setup. Thank you for posting.

Thinking juice. I like that.
Your granddaughter is adorable.
She is an excellent sport!
Emi's really getting taller.
I love that look Emi gave the camera.
I watched my dad fix radios and black and white TV's in the early 50's. He explained everything as he went along just like you did. Those were magic times and I was wired for life.
He's got an extraordinary amount of knowledge.
Maravilha.
Will she be taking over D-Lab one day?
I wouldn't bet on it.
