Facit ESA-0 Wheel Replacement

Because why not.
In memoriam, because not 30 minutes after I was done editing a power surge came through and blew out the capacitor of the (formerly) working machine.
Video coverage of that unit will have to wait until I can work out the capacitance of that one, then replace it. Bad luck.

Fortunately, capacitors should be easily replaceable with a little bit of work.

They probably are. Thing is I'm kind of inexperienced with electronics
and this would be going from 5VDC to 220 VAC, which I have to admit is a
kind of scary prospect! =)

This is such a boring task that it is actually relaxing 😅

Get a surge protector!

[@1stSpyGuy]

I was absolutely certain I had plugged it into a surge protector up until the moment it went bang. =(

Why r u not uploading videos regularly now a day s.

[@1stSpyGuy]

Work life plus increased stress from keeping the content good. =)
I don't want to steal someone's time with a video that isn't as good as it can be.

[@travelwithcamera]

is this what you do for a living?

[@1stSpyGuy]

Unfortunately not. I work in an office for a living.
Sometimes it's nice to mess with something that's tangible, though. Hence the hobby.

[@travelwithcamera]

1stSpyGuy I too work in an office and can relate to wanting to do something tangible.

Can't hear a thing

[@thelowmein9143]

Am I the only one who can barely hear his voice?

[@1stSpyGuy]

I kind of messed up on the sound, yeah. The gain was a bit lower than it should have been.
The trick is that I'm very much a rookie when it comes to video shooting, so I'm learning as I go. =)
