Back in '82, Pace had many tools which I had used, for example The Vacuum desoldering, the Cir-kit; Pad and track repair, the Gold "fingers" edge board re-plating machine. Very convenient and easy-to-use.
Where did the world that produced this type of products disappear to. I know Pace Worldwide is still around. but now a days all I see is junk for sale. I was in business for many years before I new about Pace. I have gone through many Wellers and have Metcals and Weller WHA 3000V now. haven't got a Hakko because I just don't like the color on my bench. I want to tell you what I been working with so you know I might know what I am talking about. I finally got a PRC 2000.though,Metcal and Weller are not bad. But Pace is a different world on its own. Now a days working with anything else other than pace for me is like being in a room full of Smoke and I am looking for O2.That is what Pace is in the PCB repair industries O2. No joke .
Ho tutto professionale della Weller vecchi apparecchi professionali e di ultima generazione... Weller non si cambia finché sono tedeschi a fare queste stazioni stupende... 😉👍🏻🔝
Apparently so. On pace's website, a press release dated 06/26/2013 says "Paul 'The Weatherman' Anthony" is "re-signed" and will make future presentations. I did a web search on Paul Anthony and apparently he's still very active. He even has a LinkedIn page.
Does the original 16mm film of this still exist? You could get a modern transfer straight from the film to HD and it would look a whole lot better.... this is such a great training aid that it seems a shame that all that is available is a terrible 480p transfer.
Several manufacturers actually do, especially ones that are certified "ESD Safe." One manufacturer is "Menda." As a disclaimer, this is NOT an endorsement of Menda and their products. I have used them because my supplier stocks them.
Depends on the circuit. I repair boards potted in epoxy and based on the symptoms and my experience 9 times out of 10 I can diagnose the board based on these two things.
You are right, casually. I remember in 1982 we were using freon and Triple 1.1.1. without any care in the world. Used them for cleaning rosin in big tankfuls for the Branson Ultrasonic Cleaning machines. We were so negligent and I wonder how much we have breathed in. Good old days.
Does anyone ever wonder what the engineers from back in the day would have to say about the shit electronics that lead the industry now? Like the dudes from the Apollo missions? Holy fuck.
Sort of. Actually trying to decoat a 3 phase inverter used to drive a bldc motor blower for a bus. Effectively the same type of motor that you're working with, and sale driver board just high power.
Here because the receiver leads snapped off the esc for my 1/10 stadium truck. Gotta get through the waterproofing before i can solder it. Kinda glad it broke because I found this great resource! Thanks PACE!
1982 wow this video is in superb quality given the year.
Correct! Paul Anthony is still very much active and we've signed him on for future productions.
The production of those videos is great. Very high quality.
These videos are great, I wonder if the host is still around
I've watched several of your videos. Excellent, excellent stuff. Thanks for posting them.
I'm happy he is back!
can't wait to see videos which include him again.
Excellent, You Sir know the realities of life dealing with coated boards. Most are used in advanced electronics. Thank you Kind Sir , Marc W, Siegel

does the company still exist?
@@andrewmusisi7147 I guess it still exists. It's been 40 years ago since I first used their products.

Is it hard is it soft or somewhere in between that is what she asked.

Is there a soundtrack available for these videos?
@4.00 how do they know what part needs to be removed or repaired if the conformal coating prevents initial diagnoses?

This is good stuff!
Just casually using xylene and Freon.... Don't mind me!

Nice
Vintage! Great.
wonderful video. though those epoxy covered PCBs.are something else LOL. I hope I never see one in the shop.
Xylene is too mild, bust out the benzene
I like
It would take all day to replace a capacitor on one of those boards.
Exactly
Music in start be like a dancing technician entering in scene
This popped up as suggested vid in 2024 😕
Anyone else watching this video trying to fix their racing drone...

Yeah 😂
