In this video I attempt to fix a huge variety of stuff, some purchased from eBay, some from Amazon and some sent in by viewers of the channel from all different eras spanning 100 years.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in these videos.
Many thanks, Vince.

2hrs of Vince? Yes please!
Exactly what i needed today
😂
I watch at 1.5X speed so just 1.33 hrs of Vince but it sounds like he's had a few cups of coffee.
@@mitchd949i often do this with long videos
Vince if there was a magic button to push the algorithms to the moon I’d be pressing it.
Lovely long fixathons are great, as is all your content.
Thanks for your time and dedication as always.
Vince, you gave me the courage to try fixing two mechanical clocks that I love, but stopped working years ago. Guess what? I got them both working, and keeping good time! Thanks for the encouragement, Vince! PS: I love your Rolls Royce videos.
You give me the balls to tackle repairs myself. While listening to your calming voice in this video, I removed the stripped spur gear from my RC truck, this being the first time I've ever worked on one. Spare arrives sunday.
Thanks for the inspiration, Vince! I love the longer videos.
I would like to thank you for all your videos, I have learned so much from your channel, I never had any former teachings of electronics, but ever since I started watching your videos I started fixing things and it has given me a lot of joy. I even got out a few broken items from my basement that were left there to die, only to realise that they were fixable.. You have certainly given me a new hobby in life that gives me a great deal of sense of accomplishment.
Well done 👍👍👍👍
Longer videos are great! Vince's approach to fixing is just my cup of tea. I love how confidently and calmly Vince disassembles stuff. I'm so nervous I'm going to further break whatever I'm trying repair that I break into a nervous sweat like I'm trying to disarm a bomb.
I love fixing things, always have since pulling things apart as a kid. Much to my parents annoyance. Always try to fix things before buying new. My wife asks me how long it will take to fix, I always say ten minutes, even if it takes weeks or I can't fix it at all. Sometimes I keep trying to fix it after the replacement has been bought, I don't like to give in. Love watching your thought process, sometimes shouting no when I think you're going for the wrong thing.
Inspired by MMV just fixed my power washer. A wire had snapped off from one of the motor field coil attachments. tried to solder back on but realized it was coated Aluminium so crimped it and its working ! . Thanks Vince for giving me the confidence and showing that most problems are fixable.
It is a Naval Pocket watch, owned at one time by a Navy Officer. The serial number of this pocket watch can be used to trace the officer that this watch was issued to at the time. The Navy archive all their records going way back to pre-Victorian times.
The assay marks appear to be: anchor = Birmingham. lion passant = sterling silver. A = 1925 (i think)
A.L.D is the markers mark.
Honest mistakes are what make your entire channel so charming and fun to watch, Vince! Never change! :) Greetings from Germany.
love these videos. My dad used to fix things and these videos comfort me and I'm 70!
Oh yeah.. the long awaited evening-filling new Vince movie 🍿
They’re just great aren’t they!! 🍿 🎦
Just love seeing the inner workings of Tomy stuff and their ilk such as the racing car game. They always remind me of clockwork tinplate toys from my childhood. Same concept, one motor has to do everything and the ingenuity of the mechanical design to achieve that is a wonder to behold.
My mate Vince is awesome for making movies about reviving tech
Awesome video Vince! The Demon Driver was amazing, as soon as you took it out of the box I instantly remembered playing as a kid, that red crash flasher was burned into my brain. Thanks for bringing that back, and great job on the fix!
Woo!! Two hours of enlightenment & wonder. Magic Vince! I’m going to enjoy this
That Demon Driver game I can remember having it as a kid. Now I am in awe of how ingenious it is, a marvel of mechanical magic! These days there would be a blob chip and some LEDs or an LCD - but never the magic of those old electro-mechanical games. Great as always to watch your videos as someone who loves electronics and fixing things. Those air fryers always amaze me at how much plastic is inside and how simple they are for what they cost. The pocket watch was absolutely beautiful inside, some real craftsmanship in that mechanism. Keep up the great work Vince, always fascinates me what you do with all this stuff!
It may have been 2 hours on the clock but it didn't feel like 2 hours. Thoroughly enjoyable.
I loved this one two hours worth of fixes and keeps stuff out of landfills not a pat on the back for us but a worthy one for yourself for all those hours of work to keep us entertained thanks again can’t wait for more mymatevince
A watchmaker could press the pinion out of the balance wheel and replace it with a precise replacement. You do not need to replace the entire balance wheel. The balance wheel pinion probably broke when it was dropped on its face smashing the dial in those two places as the face feet came through the back of the face. The watch was made before the development of shock (incabloc) mountings on the balance wheel jewels which would have prevented the pinion from snapping during the fall! You got so close to having it run. I would have been inclined to have the pinion replaced, and then serviced it yourself, or paying to have it done professionally. The solid silver case is stunning!
i love your video's the longer ones are my favorite though, you inspire me to keep trying to fix things i normally wouldn't. Keep it up Vince stay awesome
Great work Vince, love it
Morning from NZ. Beautiful autumn morning with Tea and your video! Perfect
Vince there is only one thing I don't understand about your fantastic channel? How are you not at 1 million plus subscribers if anyone one deserves it you do!!! Mike
i watched it all at once and didnt notice how the time went and when u announced the end i was like what how was that already 2 hours love your videos keep them coming
Thank you buddy. Most appreciated
vince is so good at fixing things I'm convinced he could take a car that was crushed and get it fixed and running afterwards
I had a Digital Derby growing up. Lots of fun. Thanks for another great video.
Love your videos Vince...... Thanks for what you do!
I always enjoy the investigation more than the fix tbh. It's nice to see things work but as you say the knowledge from working out whats happened is so enjoyable. Great video and worth the 2 hr watch!
Hi Vince,
Hope you’re good….love all of you’re videos 👍
been a watcher for a while but now a subscriber, thanks for posting some excellent videos.
I love your videos, Vince.
So just ceep calm and carry on fixing!!!
Amazing work on everything, Vince. Very enjoyable video as always
A great selection of fixes.
Loved this video Vince - lots of great content - I was shouting at the screen for the washing machine, when we first married ( 40 years ago) we had the same “fault”. As it was still under warranty we called an engineer out who spotted the problem straight away. I think he took pity on us as obviously newlyweds and put down a fictitious fault on his report so we wouldn’t get charged! Loved the way you went from a quality item - the pocket watch built to last possibly hundreds of years to the air fryer built to last for 2 or 3 years! Keep up the great content - it’s a real tonic for us tinkerers
I love this channel Vince!!! Proper honest repairs, soothing voice, learn how to save money, i once again love to repair things, just good vibes m8 they are contagious, thank you so much Vince. Ignore the trolls if there's any, cheers!!
Really enjoyed the 2 hours Vince thanks, quick tip when you want to clean the filter on a washing machine, tip the machine back leaning against a wall or kitchen unit then undo the filter and all the water is at the back of the machine !😊
Thanks for another great video.
Please don't call yourself a fool. You're just learning by trial and error. Everything now a day we know, do and learned is done by trial and error. So be proud of yourself by doing this. So others can learn and can be entertained. Thnx for your lovely content. 👏
That liquid rubber on the board of the engineer's phone is ACTUALLY conformal coating. Completely different to soldermask, which is what youtubers have taken to calling conformal coating
More of these! Loved the pocket watch.
Great as always, man!
Loved watching this across the week Vince. Great idea, looking forward to the next Rat video too!
Resin 3d printer could be game changer to remake gears for these old toys etc.
25:38 another one for you Kip 😂
Omg yes a Vince extravaganza 2hrs long yes love your videos Vince keep up the good work ❤
The inside of the handheld game is more interesting than the game itself. :D
Man do I love this channel
Incredible stuff Vince, thank you!
Thank you Felipe 😎

As a former appliance repair tech, I knew what was "wrong" with your Hotpoint washer the second you put exactly one item of clothing in it! Nice detective work on your part, Vince!
Normally you work things out pretty quickly, and I'm left thinking "damn, that would have taken me hours" so it was nice to watch you struggle with that cd catch mechanism 😂😂
Great video, keep them coming!
Man I really think you should restore that pocket watch. I would personally really enjoy that. And what a cool peace.
It was interesting hearing you talk about the microscope being 1D, I am 60 now and was born blind in my left eye but did electronic repair most of my life (mostly on Coin-Op equipment of every sort) and I always had issues figuring where small items were since I don't have depth of field in my vision. I just sort of learned to deal with it and often had to replace 200 pin displays on pinball machines where they were tiny leads but I managed and could actually do them faster than anyone else I worked with. I even once replaced a connector that had 60 pins per inch on a $7,000 board (in a slot machine), no microscope, I used a jewelers eye piece and one of those magnifier lamps together to get the magnification so I could see it. I would have killed for one of the digital $100 microscopes we have now (I finally bought one a year ago though I don't repair professionally any more.
yes something to watch at last THANKS VINCE
As soon as you said there was 1 item in the washing machine I knew what the problem was. There are sensors in these things that detect if it's shaking too much. My aunt actually bought a new washer because it didn't dry the clothes well enough, but the problem there was she was putting too much in. I took the washer and sure enough, if I put too many clothes in it wouldn't do the spin cycle because it was shaking too much. I used that washer for 5 or 6 years before I got a new one (quieter one) and it's still working flawlessly to this day, I just use it in the shed for very dirty clothes that I don't want to put into my new washer.
As much as it's annoying, there are good sides to having a sensor, because the washer won't shake and "walk" around the room when it's doing the spin cycle.
Exactamundo! Says something to that effect in the handbook, need to have multiple heavy wet pieces in at the same time for it to sort itself out.
Awesome soundtrack to a load of work :D
Perfect timing on the bulbs in the car Vince - same thing has happened to my daughter's Fiat 500 and was wondering how that panel comes off. Will be getting the spudgers out at the weekend!
I use that little drill bit set you bought to drill holes into miniatures, for example Warhammer, when modifying them or adding extra details. Handy little kit.
Great video again. Fixing legend!
Thank you, Vince loved every minute I think the pocket watch has a lot of history.It’d be nice if you could get the parts and get it up and running again if you could 🙏🏻Vince, thank you once again for all your hard work👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video covering a lovely selection.... I'm not a gaming enthusiast so the game was a bit wasted on me but loved the rest. Keep it up Vince!
Wow 2 hours of Vince awesomeness 👌
watching this whilst fixing an acer aspire, 4hrs of diagnosing just to see the adapter doesn't supply enough amps to run off of mains 🙃. loved the demon driver fix vince!
The Anxiety levels at 1:52:07 went through the roof for me :D Surprised to not see a return of the "HA HA" sound effect..
OMG Vince, what are your doing to me? A 2h video! that must have taken an Eternity to edit. Thank you for the entertainment!
My brother's had the Demon Driver, such a clever toy, very nostalgic. Randi Rain is the queen of Tomy, so many interesting videos, 12 tooth gears! Cheers.
Very nice repairs, I think the last game is my favourite, quite clever design for all that electro-mechanical stuff using just one motor. The car dash lights brought back memories from 2000's, when I replaced some switch illumination bulbs to my car. It had a design with "integrated" bulb and base (1990 Mazda 323), but I just bought separate bulbs from electronics store, and used the original bases, and got away with a lot cheaper repair, than buying the whole bulb packages with bases. Just needed to shape and cut the bulb legs around the base for the electrical contact like they were originally.
Great video. I remember the demon driver as a kid and it was so addictive. That pocket watch looks ancient and maybe has an antique price, it does look priceless even in that state. I think it could be valuable
That phone speaker, the "dust cover" is the membrane which the spool is connected to. The magnet is mounted in the center and doesn't move, the spool does.
I know there was lots of different driving games simular to Deamon driver from the 70's onwards Vince, great to see you supporting other channels as well with your fixes, I have been watching Randi for a few years now, and yeah the 1 motor does all toys is more interesting, because the invention has to be correct, and then finding a way to using the correct ratio for gearing I know they would have spent many days or weeks just trying different gears, but even 1 more tooth on a gear makes a massive difference to the outcome for a game.
OMG what an epic, thanks Vince !
Great video vince i have a standard 500 and i have the same issue with my bulbs i havent changed mine yet
I had a demon driver 1979 until it broke in the 80s I was the boy who took my broken toys to bits to try and fix before in my teens starting on old TVs radios reel to reels etc nowdays more washing machines most new technology isn’t fun compared to old school technology lol…oh and the era days of CB radio my name I used was Demon driver 10 4 a copy come on lol … love your vlogs 👍👍👍
I love that you fix such "cheap" things. I always wanted to use my stuff FULLY and enjoy trying to fix broken items rather than buy new stuff. But I'm not nearly as skilled as you :D
Tomy created so many ingenious toys.
Nice choice of music for the spin cycle… very Kubrick 😂
It's just amazing how old toys were so well made. Well not the plastic cogs, imagine if it was metal cogs that would have been awesome. Anyway, the way it runs on one motor and the gear change is just brilliant.
After WW2 my uncle became a fine watch repairer. It was fun to watch him work. I saw some of James Walker pocket watch movements on ebay
Nice video 🙏
Uuuuh an over 2 hours long extravaganzia? Let's dive right into it..
LG portable DVD player.. not a crazy fault but hard to find.
Fiat 500.. simple job and saved money
Faulty BT Phones.. the first one was crazy.. those little wires.. the professional one was a bit easier.
The washing machine.. interesting.
Antique Pocket Watch.. watches are so well made.
Tower Air Fryer.. You are going to be an expert at them.
Demon Driver.. those Gear always fail.. that you have one that matches is also quite rare. Never seen such toys but I'm born 92 so no surprise there.
Thank you for those over 2 hours interesting fixes. *patting on your and my back.
A mega fixing episode this will keep me occupied for 2 hours Vince
Hi Vince, well, you did a great job in filling up my evening with all these nice and intresting fixes. For me, the pocket watch and the game were the nicest; the pocket watch because I like them too and I completely agree on the ticking of those watches, that just sounds great. The game takes me back to the 80s when I had a similar game. On mine, it ended when my car ran out of gas (there was kind of a gas gage on the dash that kept track of the amount of gas and eventually, it ran out and the game ended). But the goal was the same: just try to crash as little as possible to get a good score. And you know what, your game as well as mine makes that kind of scraping noise when the car crashes and therefore, this kind of game is perfectly playable for blind people like me. Anyway, great long video, I love it!
Good for the washer working my mate I hve them motors in the shed maybe even 2 of thm 👍
I thing fixing the clock for the may extravaganza would be awesome ;)
Regarding the balancing in the handset for the phone: Maybe it has to be weighted and balanced or the handset might not push down the switch arm all the way or it would rest at an angle on the switch arm. I think with the receiver, if you had used low-melt solder and a much cooler iron the fine wire may have survived better when soldering. The hallmarks on the pocket watch indicate it was assayed in Birmingham the Lion Passant indicates it is Stirling Silver. The capital letter A either indicates 1876 or 1936. However James Walker Jewellers was founded in 1902 so could be 1936. Or maybe James Walker took old watches, serviced them and engraved their logo's on the workings together with fitting their own dial face so it could be a 1876 watch, re-sold sometime after 1902 - bit of a long shot that one 🙂
Yep guessed the balanced load issue. Mine goes slow and rotates back and forwards trying to reshuffle the load. They work better with a few more items.
Is this an end-of the-month recurring series - the extra long video etc?! love it!
Loved it
I recently acquired for my 1930's mini lathe, a Vevor tap, die and drill set which has 2mm to 14mm metric and equivalent sizes in imperial taps, dies and drill bits. Also had tap t wrench and adjustable die wrench plus some extras like thread gauges.
Nice looking watch on the telephone video vince 👍
Given the length of the video and your encouraging to skip ahead to items based on interest, can we have chapters for the video? Or is there a reason that it isnt possible?
i'd love to see a follow up on that pocket watch.....facinated by watch movements but my eyes aren't up to doing it myself lol
well vince yes this vid was awesome was watching and listening whilst fixing some ps5 controllers well done and keep up the good work
The washing machine looked similar to ours only we had a drain pipe which I had to use to empty the drum. I pulled a coin and a key out of it, plus an odd piece of plastic. We moved though from a hard water area to a soft water area and generally have no issues with the washing machine except seals or the drain being clogged.
Two hours was a bit intimidating when I first saw it but the video was so interesting it went very quickly. Please keep up the longer ones.
great vid young Vince good to see life after BT..(like me) also have the urge to repair things my dustbin man will know not quite as succesful as you lol keep going mate love just chilling to your efforts allthough my hands are moving with yours and trying to look at things you do and shout out NOOOooo not that ......mind you your more adept than me and fix more lol
I always watch your watch videos they’re the most interesting besides concrete one ☝️ you get the little press tool You’re good at doing watches can’t wait to see a follow up video
