I have one but they're air and color black

These very cheap amplifiers are basically the same as what you would have got in a budget midi system in the '80s/'90s - a chip amp in a box. Some of them aren't bad. Where these cheapo amps really come into their own though is some of the digital ones (and by that I mean true digital where the amp takes a SPDIF or USB stream and acts as a delta-sigma DAC with loads of gain, so zero generational loss) - chips like the TPA3116 or 3225. You can get these for about £30. I have a couple of these and to my amazement they actually sound *better* in some respects than my John Shearne Phase 2, a British amp that cost me over £700 in the late 1990s. There is some coarseness to the sound and the Shearne is warmer, but the detail you get out of these things considering the outlay is astonishing. I miss companies like Shearne though - I phoned the company up as I wanted a retrofit of the phono stage that was an optional extra and John Shearne himself picked up the phone and had a 20 minute conversation with me about my setup, and recommended a couple of things to improve it - no upselling just genuine advice. We lost so much when everything went to China.

Ah the old mug's eyeful... To be fair though this was from the era where cheap just meant low-spec, not like now where cheaper stuff can be downright substandard. All the main components will have been made by the big Japanese OEMs and will therefore have been thoroughly engineered - the only flaky bits really are down to shaky Amstrad build. But it's a nice old thing and good to see it getting some attention!

Thank you for the video quiet awesome.

After install this kind of modchip, is the PS1 able to play NTCS games from america? And fit this modchip with PS1 model SCPH-5502?

Hi, been trying to assemble a Super Fatty D fork, and when you go to slide it together it just gets stuck 1/4 or 1/2 way. Any clues? Thanks

i'd have made it usb rechargeable with a power bank inside

Lovely radio

SEGA !!!

First one

Just a quick FYI... 'corrosion' refers to non-ferrous metals like copper, brass or aluminium. Anything affecting steel or iron parts is called 'rust'. Extremely common internet problem. For anyone interested, the metal chassis parts are powder coated, which is much tougher than anything you can get out of a spray can. Always nice to see these little gems being restored. 👍

Magnifique !

bellissimo lavoro complimenti😮😮😮

Eee.. no offence but it looking bad

Noice 👌🏻

Amazing job!

In all my years of collecting 90's MTB/ATB's, Ive never come across one with twist shifters in working order.. That is prob why I dont like them. That F700 frame reminds me of my Silk 400 frame (As it should I guess).

Would this work for a DD60 to fix the lock function, that isn't working anymore?

Oh wow, that's the amp I grew up with, my dad owned this one. One day he gave it to me and after a while it stopped working properly, ended up on the attic and with lack of better understanding I brought it along with more stuff at the local thrift store. That was years ago, but the regret hasn't gone. Simple amp but with the memories and love now for vintage and IMO better quality audio a real miss

Do you ever prestretch the wet leather before gluing?

Tidy paintjob that. I like the green/blue combo - it's like a Jo Burt sky!

Did a ret-furb on my road bike, painted it like a "specialized allez" but the decals are GENERALIZED and GOMEZ ! 😂

Idk it still looks like an old XC bike to me

Good work 👌but I always like to see the schematic diagram in videos to see exactly what’s going on and how those components work in the circuit…

You should add a little "Not" "works" in S works haha. Awesome build, really sick attention to detail, came out amazing!

So sick! Did you clearcoat over the decals?

I have the exact same bike, this is inspiring! I just upgraded the driveline to 1x11 but the original paintjob is hideous. You did a marvelous job, hoping you have some video's where you delve more into the painting and decals. Will have a scrub through your channel this weekend

Love this build! These era bikes are the next 'retro' generation before things got out of hand. Great result!

Mate, that is an awesome build! Would love to have seen more of the paint stripping process and then the painting. Keep up the good work!

👍👍

Hows the GDEMU holding up for you? Im considering an aliexpress kit.

Thanks for the video! My early 80s Onkyo TX-41 has sticky monitor buttons. Should I just use the DeOxit on the back of the tape monitor buttons?

Being a self-proclaimed Cannondale fan boy, I sub'd immediately....my first true love was a F700 in the speed yellow.....fast forward a healthy 20+ years later.....I've got an F2000, a Prophet, and a Bad Boy and I want to do this to all of these...color has always been an issue because I wanted to do something radical but hesitated because of the C'Daleunmati.....I must say, you did this right brother and made my decisions both easier and harder at the same time....nice work on putting in your own touch, yet making it look natural....gives my lots of ideas......down the rabbit hole I go!......congrats!

I bleed them from the calliper when on the bike so any air bubbles go up and out the highest point at the lever. Shimano brakes are easier because there's bleed nipple on the calliper

Hi - I cannot get the right side rod out on mine - I don't see how you did it in your video. Any advice? Thank you, Rich

I have bought one off ebay i did not realise it is so big in size

この動画を見ながら私もレストアしました。

my OCD is tingling, i hope you bent the finger lift back to it's horizontal position lol

Why not use compressed air at 20,lbs psi.

Not only do the caps fail, they are prone to shorting out & creating a large quantity of foul smelling smoke! Rifa safety caps should be replaced on sight 👍

Excellent video. Decent turntables these.

Look great!! I just started a resto of a 1998 Zaskar LE, hope it turns out as nice as your Pantera !

I have to get my hands on a GT frame! I missed out on a $50 Facebook marketplace one I got excited when he asked me where I lived!. Sent a message me an hour later saying well if this guy doesn't show up your next in line 😮😢 one day my day will come.

I had the Grey Judy XLC tripples they were absolutely amazing shocks! I can still remember them on my Saracen street trails bike in 2005 i have 170 Fox 38s now and to be completely honestly they ain't no Judys! Pretty shit to what i remember what my judys were like! I'd love to test a set today and see if its what i remember. Its funny seeing how short the lowers are to my fox 38s but the Judys were amazing and amazing price i remember they were £250 £300 ish new

Never use clingfilm just re apply the h202 every half hour.

Nope, I didn’t agree with that premise at all… just because YOU don’t have the engineering skill set to put it back the way it was originally doesn’t mean it can’t be done and relatively I expensively, don’t impose your limitations in others…

How old is this derailleur?

I just bought an old F400 yesterday. The shock needs rebuilding. I appreciate this video, I really thought it would be a bigger job.

Hi. I'm restoring the same fork and I don't know what seals it has. I can't find them. Can anyone give me information? Thanks.

great tutorial, very clear. i think you sold me that iron too. been looking to upgrade to a decent one. would like to see a full recap video one day as the dreamcasts are all starting to die from the capacitors expiring.
