Really enjoy your content. Your vids inspired me to do electronic repairs, dabbling with radios of all sorts, then onto more complex things and i must say that im really enjoying tbe learning curve. The fuse holder on one of the radios i was repairing was corroded with a fine white powder, but i didn't notice it, when I tested the fuse in circuit across the two fuse endcaps, it of course tested okay but still no power, it took me a good few minutes to discover the corroded fuse holder. Thanks again for your inspiration and can't wait for the next video with more tips and knowledge.
Monolith, meaning like a statue, hugh obblisk (monolithic statue), "those rectifiers are huge" Derived from "mono" meaning "single" & "lithos" meaning "made from stone" hence mono- lith. Our old family home, before dad was made redundant and we had to downsize, had a huge stone fire hearth and chimney, we used to call it the monolith in the lounge.😀
Big soldertips are a nice thing. I for myself use a big old iron, dont know the watts, but it melts everything quite fast. Even solderconnections on a big metal chassis.
I use my granddads old soldering iron to solder cables to large steel chassis. I was shocked when I plugged it into my watt "O" meter to find it was drawing 450W, my dad said he used to use it for soldering 1/4" copper gas pipes. Dad was going to put it into the recycling some months back, I'm so pleased I managed to rescue it, it's amazing how quickly it heats up a large steel valve radio chassis.

I'm here to chew gum and repair rectifier boards, and I'm all out of gum... :D As always, thanks for another informative video.
Salvaged parts to save the day ! Hopefully, you can find a home for the repaired boards.

Equal judge plank!
What do you mean by "Monolithic" rectifiers? Monolithic meaning what?
