    If RUclips is gonna put ads on videos regardless of monetization status, and you don’t have a separate reason to not monetize, you may as well turn on monetization.
    Worth it.

    Very interesting video. I still have my timing strobe light from many decades ago. I do not use these days, but since it is working, I just cannot throw it out.

    There are various free and paid smart phone apps that enable you to use your phone to be a strobe-o-scope. I used one to check the accuracy of my tachometer in my '72 MGB GT. I put a tape dot on the fan blade and adjusted the speed on the app until the dot appeared still, then compared this to the tach on the dash. Coincidentally, I bought a 1972 Motorola AM radio to fit into the car when I restored it - it's the old time five push button, two-knob affair that was ubiquitous for decades. It was NOS never installed (radios were usually dealer installed) and the original box had all the papers, warranty card, instructions, etc just like you showed with your RAYFLEX Announcer.

    Great info as always, the things we remember when we were younger that’s embedded in our brains, how about 19 minutes 50 second videos 😂 I could watch you for an hour no problem to be honest , here in oz it’s 1$ a day which I don’t mind paying - it’s just that sometimes these days I don’t have 30$ to pay when demanded !

    I'm with you Scout. I went OTA a couple of years ago and I've never had reason to look back. Gregory had the wrong magazines. One of the guilty pleasures from my childhood was to act like I was reading the articles in THE POLICE GAZETTE at The Congress Barber Shop, when, in reality, I was checking out how closely Bridgette's bikini fit.

    Great content.
    I love strobes! Watching a saw blade running through plywood sheets looking like the blade isn't turning.
    Or a conveyer of print, running 100's of feet per minute that is still and able to read!
    Oscilloscopes reading line voltage, current or frequencies.
    Eddy current testing is all so much like magic to me!
    Something you should look into is Pneumatic HVAC Controls.
    They utilize air pressure to regulate temperature and air volume in ways that is magical... But all mechanical.

    I remember the door chime as almost every small store had one. Really small ones just used a bell which I have in my shop. I remember trying to beat them. Not happening but it was entertainment for a kid. I wouldn't mind a strobe scope to check machine rpms but they are expensive. I still have my timing lights. One for regular engines and one for small engines. Never used the latter as it was my stepfathers. They are in a drawer with engine rebuild tools that aren't used. Kind of like the engine dwell meter.

    My 70's Garrard Zero 100 Turntable has a stroboscope built into it. You turn a knob to synch the platter to the intended speed.
    You should plug the Rayflex into a Kill-a-Watt Meter, to see how much electricity that it uses!
