Hi Rinoa. That is the most beautiful piece of electronics that I have ever seen. Turning it into a clock would make a perfect way to celebrate 50 thousand subscribers when it happens in the near future.
I currently work on these at a semiconductor company. This is a cantilever (the probes or "finger" things u said) probe card made by SV probe, which is the company I had worked at. The probes are manually placed into the white ceramic and epoxy ring then it is set into the board. The wires are than manually soldered to the traces which connect the edge traces. The probe card tests a wafer (chips before they are cut out and put onto a package) at final test for reliability. I say fir thirty dollars is a good price. A brand new probe card such as this size runs around $15,000.00 to $60,000.00 when in use. This is obviously a very old one and is no longer needed to test a certain device (chip). FYI, we have to manually adjust and repair these probes when they are damaged under a microscope.
@@08_arunpragadesh.n99 These are being used in test, and when they are returned to be repaired, I work on them depending on the fail. Sometimes it’s replacing components and probes or adjusting probes.
It is beautiful. Thanks for showing. I used a wafer tester probe board at my old job. It only had about 20 pins and cost many thousands to make. It was hand wired. These are usually used to test the dies on the uncut wafers, and then mark the bad ones before the wafer is diced up, so they only continue the packaging steps with good chips.
it's a very nice item just to display on a wall, maybe in a frame with some lighting. SV Probe is the manufacturer and the item is a cantilever probe card and is used for logic testing microchips.
At times I wish I lived in Cali for this stuff, but if I did move there, I would miss out on the older stuff around here, like turn of the century tools and such which are somewhat common finds. That would make a lovely clock, though I would avoid anything near the fingers, since they can break off and fall apart from even the most gentle touch.
Its a beauty! The clock idea is cool, but to NOT destroy it you could put a strip of ws2812 leds on the outside and color code the second, minute and hour position.
pin 43 on the inside ring, that's a cold solder joint right there.. Kidding ofcourse, what a stunning looker! That's an amazing bargain, and an amazing piece of art!
Hello Rinoa Awesome find! My suggestion is arrange diodes around the probe board in a 3D printed thing that holds the board and maybe even with some sort of glass over the board to protect it then you can put an arduino as a clock underneath that way you will have the board intakt for the years to come and a fine clock or messenger board (your subscriptions live count as an example) ! Thanks for the vlogs I like your enthusiasm!
I sold a copy of Earth Bound on ebay with the box, guide, poster, and map and I made around $650.00. That was about 3 years ago. I also sold a game I picked up at a thrift store for a $1.00 and sold it for $40.00.
try Weirdstuff Warehouse, Halted, and Excess Solutions if you can. also Stevens Creek Surplus can sometimes have a few cool military surpus things, although they are mostly fakes in that store.
Maybe you could find for what chip it was made. There is a lot of signal names on the silkscreen so it should be possible to match something by its pinout.
Very cool - thanks for sharing. PCBs have a beauty all their own and that testing board is a whole level above that. If I ran across those on a regular basis I would collect... sadly no chip fabs around these parts. Now strange airplane bits...
I recycle Electronics and if they are you got your money back and then some just on the gold wire. Seeing that you only have 1 i wouldn't destroy it by recycling it but if you can get alot of them that cheap with the gold wire there is some good money to be made. Also after watching some of your videos im going to be saving my laptop batteries.
looks like a test board for testing microchips if it is it would make it rare thing testing that deep into the clip level.You would think It would have a interface to connect it to a computer or that's what the bottom side was. Did you look at the Probe board www.svprobe.com/cproducts/acate-0/products.htmlsight
Man i'd be so torn on whether or not to trade the guide for the atari board they are both pretty awesome, i'd like to find one of those boards or something similar as a wall hanger but stores around me have a habit of charging out the ass for stuff.
Rinoa Super-Genius Very true, even if you don't end up getting it i'm looking forward to seeing a video looking at the atari board a little closer, i'm currently looking at getting an older silicon wafer and getting it framed or something,
Trevor Lahey spoiler, i get it. i texted my friend last night and stepped the trade up to two apple Xserve units that i have no use for and the game guide. evidently hed forgotten about the atari probe card because he was like "oh shit i forgot i had that, ok thats a nice trade." haha
Probe Cards similar to these are still used in various chip industries for testing and R&D. JTAG can't always test or verify every part of a chip and many IC's like RAM chips don't have JTAG.
They're used for testing during manufacture. It's used to test chips before they're cut from the wafer so they don't have to waste time and money packaging a defective chip.
If you mount it on a turntable, and light the back of it, so the LEDs project through the HOLES - then you wouldn't ruin the probe by soldering your own LEDs or changing that actual hardware itself.
Attach it to the front of an actual wall clock and put a light on the hand of the normal clock so it moves around behind it, saves yourself crazy wiring and lots of LEDs
You'd spend way too much money on acid etc. recovering the gold, and needlessly completely destroy something beautiful in its own right. Sure if Rinoa thought that doing gold recovery videos would grow the channel enough that it would be worth it, go for it, but Cody's Lab has already done all that. If you want gold just buy a gold coin.
that looks insanely cool! i think it looks like the central computer you would have in an inter galactical spaceship, like the thing that hold all the data and star map for the warp drive
EEVBlog got one of those in his mailbag. Those things are ridiculously expensive when new. All of those are hand wired. The PCB on his is 24 layers. Here's his unboxing: ruclips.net/video/y0WEx0Gwk1E/видео.htmlm14s

I think it would be easier to build a computer from scratch... OK A clock sounds great. Still would need the program/bios, power, out to the side and the micro controller in the middle to process the code to the L.E.D.s Considering the realestate you could put LCD numbers and hands going around.
Cool find! I would say it's May second 2001 :-P That's why I prefer 2016-08-23 (ISO 8601). I got in so much trouble with Valve/Steam about the date notation. I had to send them Wikipedia links to convince them we write the day first, followed by the month and the year. They didn't understand it at all, it was very frustrating.
in the US we use Month/Day/Year, especially for things that arent formal documents. why wouldnt you say it in the same order as its written as "the 2nd of may 2001"? it makes sense to do that if you say it in the same order as its written. if i heard "erster Februar" i would think 01/02, if i heard "February first" id think 02/01. its all up to regional preference and languages have varying compatibility with them. now we just need to stop putting money symbols like "$" before the price. if i say "ten dollars" we should write it "10$" otherwise it reads like "dollar ten". but oh well. it sounds like you were being kinda stuborn and wasting valve's time. like all those idiots in the US that tell cops they are an independant person and whatnot. if they ask for it in binary give it to them in binary, its not that hard.
Thanks for elaborating! Well you see, I bought a game (Half-Life) and let's say I bought it on 2001-05-02. The CD-key didn't work so I contacted Valve, and I had to provide my receipt. The date on the receipt said: 02-05-2001 (second of May, 2001). Valve said: “Sorry, no warranty anymore because you purchased it on February 5th 2001”. I had to convince them I bought it in May instead. So actually Valve was being a little bit stubborn ;-) In the end it all worked out because I pointed them to Wikipedia, lol!
PuchMaxi1988 so they covered it even though it was 15 years old? thats amazing. why didnt you just download a non-drm version? if DRM stops me from playing something i rightfully purchased i just download a version without the BS. they still get the money and i get my game.
Gagesvids1 yeah, did you grab some of the large hard drives in the back? they are a good source of high power neodymium magnets. and i think there were still some 8" floppy drives back there. although i bought the best one. lol
yeah im already working on that, i used to have a motherboard wall when i was 14 till we moved at 18, i saved all the motherboards and am collecting more. i hope to help my mom fix up our attic as a room and ill put up the circuit boards in there.
Hi Rinoa. That is the most beautiful piece of electronics that I have ever seen. Turning it into a clock would make a perfect way to celebrate 50 thousand subscribers when it happens in the near future.
hrmm, i think it would be a bit too complicated for me to do that so soon. maybe a 75,000 subscriber sign.
its so good id save it for 100,000 subs and that will give you time to make it look nice and hopefully not break it
+Rinoa Super-Genius get it framed and bang it up on the wall

Gold wires to gold contacts. Gold.
One of your best videos ever. Very educational. Thanks
Its a beauty! The clock idea is cool, but to NOT destroy it you could put a strip of ws2812 leds on the outside and color code the second, minute and hour position.
Decorated with multi-colored LEDs (slowly color moving) to make an art piece to honor technology would be good too.

Can you do a workshop tour and what are you going to do under the house in that vent thing

ok, so? i fail to see what makes that noteworthy in this situation.
Technology as art form. Display slowly spinning with small track lights or alternating colored diode lights.
that is awesome. I may need to take a drive to check out some of the cool surplus stores you go to.
try Weirdstuff Warehouse, Halted, and Excess Solutions if you can. also Stevens Creek Surplus can sometimes have a few cool military surpus things, although they are mostly fakes in that store.
The center of that probe card we called it spider, it’s made of epoxy and needles
Maybe you could find for what chip it was made. There is a lot of signal names on the silkscreen so it should be possible to match something by its pinout.
It would be great framed in a window frame or bubble glass picture frame. Whatever you call those frames for thicker items.
HI
I think I would just frame it and put it on the wall.
no frame, it should be touchable. :D
Lol, it's Big Boss Server Hobbyist Master Morten, His channel is awesome!

Some things just needs to be said :3
Look great just mounted on the wall, nice one.
I dont know what the other one your friend has looks like but thats the coolest sht I ever seen. Very nice as is.
With so many connections, you could make a hi-fi genius... Like hovering over. Anyway, it's pretty pretty circuit.
OMG what a good video.. I wish there were more people like you making videos the way you do. Thanks
thanks, but have you tried AvE, TPAI, Tesla500, or Ben krasnow's channel "Applied Science"?
it's for wafer.... sv probe is the vendor of that... the needle in the center is for marking a wafer called "probemark"

yup, uploaded a video of it.
@@RinoaL gotta try to find it now. Good job in getting it
Must see it now, Rinoa.
great!
