Nice shiny, clean car that he's driving. I wonder what it looked like when he pulled it out of a landfill and before he restored it.
It used to be a 70´s Yugo....
You know his CZcams $$$ paid for that car...
28:15 let's not kid ourselves it's not even the deception that's so /facepalm... it's the fact that his videos are so successful... the reality that this crap beats out hard honest/genuine work/effort... this is part of the CZcams rabbit hole (where you realize what kind of videos really have the most views/traffic) at this point you either give up making videos (or continue because you genuinely enjoy it "as a hobby").
No one can compete with the volume of bait content these kinds of channels crank out.
Maybe it's one of those Mazdas recovered off that cargo ship that capsized and sunk a few years ago.
@@timmooney7528 You mean 'Mudzda' - Asia's dirtiest Car Brand !!!
Do you ever think your wife walks past the room and says “oh no he’s yelling at the restoration guy again”
The same way I yell at Brad when he is working on solid sate equipment. ; )
That was poorly phrased lol, it implies that he sometimes thinks that she walks by and says that, as apposed to him thinking, she sometimes walks by and says that.
Him sitting in a room thinking his wife is at that time walking by saying "oh no he`s yelling at the restoration guy again" is a bit weird..
That IS what it says though.
Made me do a retake lol xD

Yep. me too, and you're absolutely right.
Revesed the footage.

@@isaacsrandomvideos667 whoah
I'm Indonesian and have been to several neighboring Southeast Asian countries. I would say that some people in the region make good living out of piling junk like this, selling them for parts. DIY, self repair, and local neighborhood shops are still big there, so there will always be some people looking for salvaged parts, like resistors, ICs, capacitors. This kind of junk electronic in the video is easy to find, just go to a local junk collector and pay for less than a $1 for it. The logical thing to do then is to take the junk piece apart and test which components still work, but definitely not trying to restore it. It's definitely not cost-effective to restore. So this kind of restoration is definitely something created for CZcams views.
That’s pretty interesting. I suppose that does make sense.
Absolutely, I used to live in the Philippines and my wife owned a junkshop. These things happen every day as we know :-)
So this is basically a scam which lots of mentally disabled people seem to fall for and might copy faulty methods. Plenty of channels showing real stuff and getting views so I wonder about the need for dishonesty
Bagaimana mungkin,, kaki2 komponen pasti karatan dan ada yg putus, cara cek komponen aneh,, yg dicek kabel bukan komponen,, gk mungkin bisa bekerja,, tak ada penggantian komponen sama sekali,, resistor, ic, transistor, kapasitor, tk ada pengecekan,, cara pakai avometer pun aneh,, satu kabel dipegang, yg satu dicek ke komponen,, gk tau jalur yg mana,, kenapa output dari power suply dicek, khn sudah ada output dr power suply, tinggal milih tegangan berapa volt🤭
I assume up there they don’t have BMW E30s and 80s-90s Mercedes just shelled out on the side of the street, obviously purposely vandalised. Right?
at least he didn't replace the belts with noodles
How does this not have any replies.. I'm gonna laugh at this comment all day at work tomorrow.
hair ties

Then cut the noodles just to re-soldier them back together for no reason. Maybe just use hot glue and skip the soldier. What kills me is that hes gotta show you every part he destroys. Gotta show every screw, nut / bolt to the camera like " look at what i did" ...
Lol

You are being very optimistic. I have restored cassette decks from the 80s/90s. For starters, there no way that the motors, potentiometers and any relays or reed switches would have survived that water immersion and corrosion. If, by a big miracle, that worked as the video showed, it would not work for too long.
@@kylesmithiii6150 heck, most of them don't even survive "careful use" along that many years...
BUT DOES IT CHEW TAPES FULL OF CASIOTONE MUSIC !!!! Luv it ! 7-bit Muzak !
and at the end, you can't tell from the music he choosed if the tape speed is right.
This comment was like reading enchanting table
Here's the proof that he didn't restore it:
I'm a repair technician. And I am sorry... But if that guy somehow knew where each and every screw went without any sort of screw-management... He'd be a god among men and wouldn't be wasting his time lol
He's making a pretty penny on youtube most likely if his videos have millions of views. What I am impressed is the amount of effort to make this fake restoration. It's almost like he could have done a real one with less effort.
I mark screws and holes with colored dots nowadays, but when I was younger, I didn't and I remembered where they went anyway. I don't see anything extraordinary in his techniques, other than that he faked it instead of actually being useful.
I can do this on any device with 6 or fewer distinct screw types (lenth, type, thread, etc)One reason why I love IBM laptops.
@J B How long until you forget where they go?
@J B i mean to put back every screw i'd need like a whole video recorded of me taking out every single screw in order to know where they go. but it's totally do able, that is just not gonna fix the machine, tried taking apart a vhs player, and oh god, it's so complicated inside. what were they thinking. thank god it wasn't a betamax player at least.
I have two perspectives for this guy's video.
1. I am a creator, I make all sorts of post apo props, armor, weapons from junk (and making Fallout/Mad Max/Wasteland Weekend stuff for fans of that kinda thing). The rust was definitely put there with chemicals. This rust wasn't developed naturally FOR SURE, it looks like the instant rust I make on my items with chemicals. I of course work with stuff that is actually rusted too but it would look totally different.
2. I am a big lover of cassette tapes, I have a huge collection and I know a thing about tape decks. They are temperamental. As hell. Especially the belt. There is no fucking way the belt would survive this. It doesn't even survive being treated like a newborn baby by an educated/careful user half of the time. It had to be a brand new belt on that thing. And that 'old stuff indestructible' DOES NOT apply to tape decks. I have experience with 70s-90s tape decks of different qualities and none of them are indestructible, definitely not a Kenwood... By the design this is an 80s deck and Kenwood was just decent. Not great, not bad. It would never work after something like this. This is so stupidly fake I can't believe people fall for this.
Heck yeah man. I recently fixed up an old Sony double deck cassette deck. When I got it, the belts were shot. Even after i replaced them, there still are a few things wrong with it that won’t affect the operation as long as I’m careful. One of the gears is cracked and slips off the axle if I use fast forward or rewind and I think the spindle brakes or clutch? are going bad, as when I use the deck for a while, when I stop it, it makes a slight jerk and slightly unwinds the tape(might be the cracked gears fault, it doesn’t happen on deck b). Can I just ask this? How can I repair a cracked gear? Can I use some epoxy on it? And sorry if I’m making you cringe a little, this is all new to me lol.
yeap, you're right. I have an uncle and he also has a collection of cassete decks. Sometimes he buys a deck that's almost perfectly fine but there's a spring missing or a belt and the thing wouldn't work (or maybe it would but weirdly). If you rose the thing down like he did the deck wouldn't work anymore just because of the disrespect with it.
What he did was literally impossible, it takes weeks to figure out what is wrong with this decks and another week to find a similar piece that fits in and maybe, just maybe the deck is ready to go.
someone: *gets stabbed* AHHH HELP ME
this guy: oh wait here *rubs stab wound with wire brush, then hoses it down*
"Restore human knife wound clean and restoration"
No he used ramen noodles to fix the cut and then painted over it
@@karinaaraiza7615 just like that Powkiddy that Restoration R.A claimed to be a "Gameboy PlayStation"; he just puts noodles in it, sands it down & spray paints over the shell with yellow paint that doesn't even match the yellow paint on the front.
The tape he's listening to is actually Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band's greatest hits, you just can't tell because his restoration failed so they're pretending the tape is actually Asian Bluegrass, but I know it's not. My ears are unstoppable, I can't be deceived.
Stephen Adams Good Ol’ Bangkok bluegrass.

@@LorSTApunk07 Taiwan Technope
When he cut the ribbon cables to soldered them back together for no reason.
just wanted to show us the "amazing" solder technique he own
Well, he most definitely would know where exactly the cables were broken - affter he broke them with the pliers.
He buggin
What a stupid comment. That’s where the fault lies . And he fixed it. So you have the audio and Mechanical ⚙️ parts working again. Psss !
If you look closely you can see the serial numbers do not match on the one he "found", and the working one he swapped in at the end.
and the ejection action on the working one at the end is much faster
Actually they do match. 21004638 at the beginning and end. Its at least the same bottom chassis. There is a deep ding in the center back that is present in both the repainted and "unrestored" version. I figure that the board might have run. But those tape transports would never see another cycle.
@@eh86055 That is assuming the "reveal" at the end was in fact before the deck was tossed. I like it
The green decals inside the tape compartments are brand new paper ones. I wonder if Kenwood afficianados are selling these NOS paper decals on ebay for $250 per decal like Fender restoration guys do ?
I got a mate who repairs tape decks who will piss over the pair of you
I was an electronics service tech for 20 years and I can tell you there is NO WAY he's going to re-assemble those tape mechanisms and make them work after such a thorough and unnecessary disassembly.
I doubt very much the "restorer" shown in this video will succeed in making that deck work properly again. No service documentation, lacking the proper tools, virtually no skills or knowledge of electronics and very little experience. Usually I avoid "reaction" videos but The Guitologist is different because he tells the truth as do you.😇
why.....why did he cut a perfectly good ribbon cable then solder it back together?
Kinda sucks, he ruined a perfectly good cassette player.

I was laughing so hard when he was pretending to use the multimeter while holding one probe in his fingers.
grounded it
Lmao, did you see him touching it to any random spot like he was actually doing something, at one point he probes the top of a chip.

But do you restore it afterwards?
@@TheGuitologist yes, of course
@@melvynobrien6193 oh yeah, I get out the wire brush, the pressure washer, and my handy blow dryer.. easy fix every time
Nah its ALL BS, haven't seen the dude hose anything down with WD40!
"Filming it backwards" might be a viable answer. Taking a good item, filming it as "restored", then trashing it and pretending to "restore it". I don't know much about electronics, but from what I've seen, if you leave something outside for any real length of time and you practically have to rebuild it replacing everything as everything is destroyed. Rust is a killer. He could have "rusted it" with an oxidizer to make it look like it was out longer than it was (would be easier than waiting for it to actually rust). Then probably tossed some mud on it. Who knows for sure, but I highly doubt you can pick up a junk cassette deck from the bank of a river that has been there for months or years and "restore it" without pretty much rebuilding it.
But his movements isn’t backwards
@@juliaalvarez537 not literally filming in reverse, but rather film things from the end, i.e starting with the finished product and filming the "finding" at the end, then just reorder the clips while editing.
Though, sometimes this dude paints the things he ""restores"" so this process can't account for everything.

So... How to do a repair video for CZcams 101.
Step 1. Buy a perfectly working device.
Step 2. Video said device in all it's working glory.
Step 3. Throw mud and all sorts of crap in unit, leave in random place for a week.
Step 4. Find unit "randomly" in the place you left it.
Step 5. Clean all shit off with a hose, brush and whatever else you have under your kitchen sink.
Step 6. Put back together.
Step 7. Show Step 2.
Got it!!!
Dude how to restore crushed car 🤣🤣 I can't wait
Dont forget the wired brush add that for the memes
my wife walked by to see what i was laughing at. and saw me watching a video of another guy watching a video of a guy fixing a cassette deck. if she didn't think i was totally lost before this. she does now
I liked how he managed to get all the scratched off writing on the back fixed, looked like new! Genius!
Pretty amazing the heads and guides are perfectly aligned without any adjustment after assembling the mechanism. Usually, for me, just looking at it while thinking of a screwdriver is enough to require re-alignment.
Dozens of different types of screws, and he just tosses em in a bin. Taking a cassette deck apart to that level is a giant PIA to reassemble.
Exactly. I've worked on domestic and professional audio gear for many years and I wouldn't even consider trying to disassemble then reassemble a cassette mech (especially one with auto reversing heads) without the assistance of the service manual and some exploded diagrams.
He shows the disassembly in detail but skips most of the reassembly. Probably becouse he actually skipped it.
I have done in other transports. They are not that complicated. Servo transports have less pieces but need to be sincronized properly during assembly, or you can break the mainf function wheel.
Totally agree. Even using your self video while disassembling for reassembly on something like that, is a complete PIA.
The perfect green stickers inside the tape doors, dead giveaway.
No stickers, those are LED backlit acrylic light guide thingies.
"Restoring" vintage electronics is fairly harmless, but "restoring" innocent animals using the same reverse methods is beyond cruel. In those videos they "find" that animal being stuck in some highly improbable place like a tiny kitten on a boulder in the middle of the river, or "consciousless" (I'd say dead, all things considered), or a dog in the well, or stuck in the hole that takes forever to pull its head out. You name it.
Then usual crap follows with some hideous overly sad music playing in the background, with animal in question being washed, dried and fed, with people moving suspiciously slowly and with such an overdone "kindness", like they are afraid to breathe at that animal or something. These people in those countries are seriously screwed up in their heads to run hoaxes like that, and then raking money either from youtube views or donations for their "animal rescue" charity.
It’s magical how he simply “finds” this stuff amid all the mud and muck! Purely amazing! 🤣 I believe you when you say he videos this backwards.

Good eye. I’m impressed.
He did all that continuity testing without documentation or even following the traces, that is just to fool people who have no idea how electronics function
Haha, I have no fucking idea about electronics or anything sort of that shit. But I pissed myself to pieces laughing when he just randomly went around on that board touching shit.
You are correct. I am an Electronic Engineer and what he did was just acting for the video.
It looked like he had the ground probe in his hand. I didn't see him holding a wire onto it either.
Notice how he's also holding one probe?

I did a stint of forensic work and looking at the staining on the inside of the case and where it leaked out to to underside of the base l can almost guarantee the mud was placed into the case, the case was never submerged in water. Those motors would never work if the same amount of mud was in the motor that was apparent in the case.

As a Jamaican, some of those random animal scenes might be real.
In 3rd world countries, there are strays everywhere and most don't live that long unfortunately... so finding random puppies, kittens or even stray goats or chickens isn't all that crazy.
They probably stage plenty of the cuter ones, but saying that finding animals randomly never happens isn't exactly true.
In fact, I live in FL now and every time I work in my garage, this cute stray kitten comes to hang out. I named her Rayla after the elf on The Dragon Prince because shes super stealthy, and fearless. She literally will jump onto my table saw when it's running! She has ZERO fear of tools or noise and always just randomly appears in front of me scaring the shit out of me.
Now, that said.... they are absolutely faking one thing.
Most 3rd world country people hate animals. Jamaicans hate dogs and cats, think keeping a pet is psychotic and will physically attack you if you try to feed them. You will NEVER see a jamaican go and pick up a puppy and be all cute... they are much more likely to kick or throw something at it.
Remember, those strays are a nuisance to them, they steal food, keep people awake, carry diseases... they see those cute puppies as little monsters to be avoided or killed, not as a cuddle buddy.
Facts. I know from experience.
Hey, great read, thanks for that info from around the world. Do you think that stray may be deaf?
@@LTJR. I don't think so, she comes when I call her. I think she's just young enough and curious enough to not fear the tools; since I'm also in close proximity to them, she might assume they are safe.
After all, you know what they say about curiosity and cats... lol
I always liked animals, but it was frowned upon in Jamaica by all but a very small minority or the rich. My uncle had a shop dog who was a true junkyard dog, fed scraps, never allowed inside... etc. A tool. A security measure. When a neighbor poisoned him for his barking, my uncle got mad but they guy just offered money and that was it. A week later there was a new dog.
As a dual citizen of America as well, that blew my mind. It was crazy to me how having pets and loving animals is so normal in America, but in other countries they are... just... animals. Tools, food, labour, nuisances... etc. It was a tough lesson to learn at a young age, but it taught me that I love animals.
danteelite I think I remember Anthony Bourdain saying in an interview once that compassion and love of animals is often a bit of a 1st world luxury. Of course there are people like yourself from all parts of the world who love animals no matter the culture they grow up in, but it’s a sad reality that many people just don’t have much sympathy for nonhuman life when their own lives are pretty difficult or burdensome.
I know for a fact people have the same opinions of puppy’s and kittens sometimes in the Philippines. Seen it myself a lot so you’re absolutely correct about that statement
I’ve also noticed that there are a lot of gangs of dogs there as well that attack people for food or they scavenge from markets where people work to sell food so while it is a tough lesson to learn I completely agree, I’m an American citizen as well but I’ve made 3 trips to the Philippines to meet my mothers friend and I was warned early on if I see a pack of dogs don’t approach them or try to touch them as they would attack me for fear of me attacking them. But it does go to show how different the view of animals is from country to country.
Doesn't everybody have a cameraman rolling at all times and all angles just in case they find some random junk. Apparently this guy does. And, they are prescient. They wait patiently for this guy to drive by, knowing full well he'll stop to pull the rusty contraption out of the mud!
The camera on the beach was a big giveaway.
@@finscreenname Of course the restoration is faked, but re-shooting multiple angles is not a giveaway. I too would have filmed multiple angles and re-takes to make my content more interesting.

Honestly, you cracked the code. The guy takes functioning stuff and fucks it up. He films it before and after, and then just shuffles the footage around. A lot of these channels from places like Southeast Asia and the Middle East are basically clickfarm videos run by dubious individuals trying to make a quick buck. Most of the views on these videos are farmed as well with bots. It's just a shit show.
This is kinda like those old 50s horror movies that promised to be the most terrifying thing you've ever seen only to subject you to endless scenes of people driving and looking worried.
I can’t believe that CZcams even recommended that channel to me after seeing that guitar “restoration”
Anyone notice the guy has a brand new car! Lol
Actually, that's a car that he found in a rice paddy and then restored.
@@TVsGringoStarr Lol!
With those kind of skills he should be riding in a Lamborghini. 😂😂😂
David Helmuth that's coming ☺
What’s your point?
Tune in next time when we see this guy yank an "antique" PS4 out of a quagmire, and restore it back to manufacturers specifications!

I'm into that but I still have standards
I was a comm tech for a DMS10. There was a flood and the water backed up into the pipe system, made t way up to the air conditioning units and rained down on the DMS10. We brought in leaf blowers, hair dryers and dehumidifiers. We still had to replace more than 900 line cards (individual dial tone cards) as they were fried from the moisture.
He never breaks a plastic piece that makes it useless.
Anyone that even has the slightest bit of experience with disassembling and reassembling a relatively fine mechanical appliance such as a cassette decks knows that even in mint condition they can be a royal pain in the @ss.
Dude, totally. You ALWAYS break an integral plastic tab off of something while trying to fix something like this. Or lose THAT spring. Or bend some metal piece, I mean he use a hand mallet to get the capstan out!
@@dh-_1011
YES!! YES!!!!! I absolutely hate that.
It's the reason why I only buy cheapo cassette decks. One wrong move and your screwed, it's either a parts set then or you have to wait years till some replacement part shows up on ebay.
I won't spend big $$ on a Revox or Nak just to find out an unobtainable nylon gear has snapped or something deep in the mechanism needs lubrication and you know you'll probably break or lose half of it in the process of even getting there.
Right on! Every time I'm fixing a piece of gear from the 80's, those plastic bits are so fragile. Super glues my friend in those cases!
Did anyone see the fine springs these would have dissolved - being turned to rust. None found these would have been replaced.
Amazing how scratches can be removed with a wire brush lmao.
@The Guitologist just FYI, I left a comment on the original video and pointed out how fake I believe it was and left a link to this video and made comments about your channel on how it is actually a real restoration channel, in part. It probably won’t do much but I think you deserve some recognition in this area. Keep up the good work. I’m a long-time follower of your channel and shit post Friday is one of my favorite things of the week.
Loving the engineer stance at 33:53, hands behind his back walking around his work while it's being showcased.
I have a 2011 iMac 27" desktop computer - always kept indoors, climate-controlled, in scrupulously pristine condition - - not a fingerprint, let alone a speck of mud or corrosion on it. Last December, its video card suddenly went south. That's all. But it took FIVE trips back 'n' forth to the shop, and two highly qualified and scrupulous Apple repairmen SEVENTY-TWO days finally to get it going again! SO even though I know nothing about electronics, my doubts about this Malaysian guy and his "restorations" were THROUGH THE ROOF. THEREFORE, thank you, Mr. Guitologist, for your snarling skepticism and a HUGELY laugh-out-loud hilarious and entertaining video. Keep it up!!

Shouldn't Casio should hit HIM for copyright infringement for using their demo-button music?
You should do an episode where you take apart a set of coated and wound guitar strings, and put them back together 😹😹😹
It's obvious to me how they are making this video, you start off with a good cassette deck and then you just shoot scenes sort of in reverse,
because you don't care about the cassette deck. You are going to make money off of CZcams. Its either that or they have two identical machines. One
they trash and the other one is kept clean. I have to give them credit, they found a way to make money on CZcams, and people are buying into it.
cassettes were in the 80?
@@plumiegirl47 Not sure what you are saying with "cassettes were in the 80?" if you are asking were they in the 1980's? Cassettes have been
around since the early 70's. And are still in use today by some people. There are companies still making them.
@@kaiserdevon8397 I was guessing when cassettes were the newest thing. That is soo old and tapes wear out, why restore this relic?
@@plumiegirl47 Oh, I agree 100%. There would be no logical reason to restore this. Which is the point of my original post. This is a fake video.
But it is interesting about the history of cassette tapes. When it was invented, it was never intended to be a HIFI format. But it became
so popular that the manufactures kept improving it to the point that it wasn't bad. Cassette tapes move about 1.7 Inches Per Second.
Professional mutitrack tape machines move at 15 IPS. But by coming out with different tape formulations and other improvements
they were able to up the quality. It was just the portability of the format that made them so popular. As far as wearing out, I have cassette tapes made in the 70's that still play just fine.
I copied back my comments in that video.
How to make fake repair video easy way
First step:
32:14 - 37:44 record when it still functions
Second step:
00:00 - 32:13 trash it, make it look like broken and trow away. Keep it under a dirt for few months. Then recover it and record it while you try to restore it.
Third step: edit the video, make the second step as first part. And the first step as a last part.
Unless he show a video where the cover a open while it turn on and work. Then I admit I was wrong. Just now, i won't buy it. Sorry.
I'm a Gunsmith and therefore very experienced with disassembling complicated tedious things and I can definitely tell you that when he was disassembling the components the way he did he had no intention of ever putting them back together. There is no way you would disassemble anything with small tedious parts at that speed and with that much carelessness. You would bend parts, brake springs, and strip screws. Not to mention keeping up with all the parts and how to reassemble the thing. When you disassemble something like that you go slowly, pay extreme attention, lay parts out in order, take pictures if needed, and take notes. Unless he worked in the factory on that exact model everyday for the past 10 years or something then there is no way he pulled off reassembling that thing correctly and without broken parts. Not after the way he was just jerking parts off that thing, No Way!!!! Also when he pulled the mother board off that looked very much like a chemical rusting not a time and moisture rusting, which would indicate he done it in a short period of time and on purpose.
I'm a server technician, and while I work most of the time with OS, my studies included electronics and hardware. So when this knight in shinning armor was about to start cleaning the thing, my first thought was "well, pretty sure he'll at least use some sort of alcohol, right?".
And then I saw the freaking water hose and I completely lost it. I was laughing for almost 10 minutes while watching this poor thing drowning in water. Yep, that's not gonna leave a mark at all.
EDIT: Aaaaand I just saw the hot glue stunt. What a legend.....
I need to call this guy so he fix my wedding.

If the PC board was left in the water for an extended. Of time that particular PC board with d laminate it would start swelling and coming apart
I note that the screws are all really nice condition. That has not been my experience of screws on older kit that has been stored in a garage.
It is the same *BUT* it was shot *IN REVERSE ORDER* because the serial number matches. They shot the final/finished version before dumping it. There's something you can also do. I bet your audience would be mighty impressed! ;) :D :D
Dude! Glad CZcams recommended the geeetar restoration shenanigans. Enjoyed, and had to keep going down the rabbit hole. You are my kind of folk!
I'm struggling restoring a Tascam 388 i got for $30, from 1986, and it doesnt have mud and shit all over it.....
I'm using alcohol and toothbrushes and q tips.....un winding long blonde hairs off the capstans....stuff like that.
if only id KNOWN a GARDEN hose would work just as well.
oh and i had to ORDER new belts for the drive....those shitty Tascam belts just dont last like the Kenwoods.
use a heavy wire brush and scrub the fuck out of it then use a pack of ramen noodles to patch up any scratches, dings or dents..works everytime..I actually found the same Tascam recorder while I was walking around in my backyard..it was sitting against an old tree..weird how life works.
This dudes videos are shot in reverse. Start with a perfect piece, Then destroy it,
The guy of restoration and metal had a long battle with me on his video. He kept making fake channels and trying to argue about all the steps he took and how he was the best luthier in the world. Very strange.
He's the best. The man "restored" a classical guitar with ramen!!!
Lol
@Youthman Production Are you sure about that? 😂
That was the best thread ever
@@cardprophecy97 It was EPICO!
Tomislav B. Yes. I am and you were one of the guys on that thread defending him as the greatest luthier around. I remember you’re name
13:00 HAHAHAH No way that auto-reverse head is ever gonna work again.........
The guy’s video title is like a eBay listing!
27:13 The painted top matt black, 27:20 now it's semi gloss like new a replacement top.
Woah i didn’t notice how different the surface was, i could tell something with the paint was off but wow.
This thing showed up in my feed too! My first thought was brad is going to shit his pants!!! 😂😂😂😂
Love ya brother!
Com'on Brad, stop criticising this guy and watch and learn, he's restoring this stuff in half the time it takes you,. there's no need for bitterness.
The second he stopped his car and found the tapedeck i knew it was bullshit!.
As you said, it was a reverse filming trick.
Have you noticed how fresh the rust looks on many of the restoration channels, like it's been sprayed with water over a week, not years of being outside.
If nothing else, the video is a good laugh lol.
Thanks for ther laugh Brad..
I have a few family heirlooms laying around which I have wanted to restore.
Now, through these videos, I finally have the knowledge and confidence to tackle those projects!
👍🏼
If he put in the tape and it blared Shout at the Devil, I would have declared it a success.
The intro is why I pay Brad $5 a month.
I seconde that.
Couldn’t do it without ya...make useless intros, that is.
I love the new intro’s also.
“Grooowwll ! Grooowwll!”

Wow, just noticed about 100k subs! This sort of content seems to be paying off. Congratulations, but try not to get too lost in the weeds or Asian mud puddles! Your legitimate restoration/repair videos are second to none, except for perhaps our great uncle Doug!
As a restorer of electronics myself I'm sorry to say this is actually plausible. He painted the cover with a hi-temp spray paint which indeed gives a thick matte finish. Looking closer to the footage rebuilding the deck i can clearly see all the pits of rust he painted over.
The scratches on the plastic can be hidden with a coat of wax.
As to why the deck was found in two pieces? This is not an uncommon sight really. Whenever i scavenge the local electronics dump i find devices every now and then with the cover off. Why? Because the previous owners are often frustrated or curious what went wrong and take the cover of to see if there's something they could fix themselves.
Then again the tools used are way too crude, and his methods make it unlikely he knows what he's doing. What the hell was that guy measuring, chi?
What’s your take on all the painted labels on the back being fixed, i can’t imagine how you could repaint the label itself with basic tools.
Well he did only do a rough clean in the beginning. At 7:02 where the back was wet you can see all the labels, no need to repaint. From what i can judge in the footage i would try car polish with a mild abrasive on the trouble spots.
At 34:03 you can still see some of that white stuff on the right side.
Somewhere mid 90's i had a job at an audio store where we actually used a lot of car detailing products to freshen up used equipment. You can hide a lot of wear/damage on plastic and painted panels (until it wears off :) ).
In this video though, the guy only shows the paint he used, dubious. The polishing would be as time consuming as painting, why exclude that part?
At 31:45 he wants to proof that the audio comes from the tape deck but needs a cut in the video to get it right?
Glad you made a video calling him out! Look at how scratched up the writing on the back panel is at 4:09 and look at how all the writing and lettering suddenly became pristine 'after the restoration' at 34:11!!! Also the 'restorer' clearly has no knowledge of electronics; he uses a meter at 24:40 to check for continuity of a short low-density cable when he should be using it to check for shorts between the adjacent pins after attaching them with that ridiculously oversize soldering gun! As an system engineer, I want to minimize the amount of e-waste, but that has NOTHING to do with filming a perfectly working deck, then throwing it in a field to 'rescue' later!
In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. DUN DUN 🤣
This is more like a cold case file.
Good on you bro for helping others call this dude out...Dudes cashing in on this disingenuous garbage!
I find these honestly annoying. It's fine when someone doesn't do a good job, as everyone has to start somewhere, but when the outcome is neither an improvement or truthful it really angers me.
I'm not sure which I find more annoying, the content creators or the commenters saying positive comments asking for likes.
When I worked on boats if any sank in salt water we took the engines and took them apart as much as possible to soak in fresh water along with the electronics. We would change the fresh water everyday for a week to ten days to get any salt out. We always sent the electronics off to be worked on. We only did the actual mechanics and rigging.
There are a ton of channels popping up like this, usually from India, Indonesia etc. but the WORST ones I've seen are FAKE ANIMAL RESCUES, where they plant kittens and puppies in horrible places and then pretend like they are rescuing them and didn't put them there in the first place. After they faced some backlash they're now actually saving animals because they're making money so that's a positive thing at least.
Really it's AC/DC, that's just the amount of distortion after his restoration
Just placing puppies and kittens in dangerous situations so they can “ rescue “ them for a video they expect to get money from.
Great people 😂
From 30 minutes onwards, your reaction to the music had me rolling around in laughter. I was laughing along with you 😂🤣😂🤣 Just brilliant mate. Liked and subscribed for your taking the piss skills.
I watched your guitar restoration reaction video and was laughing along with you. I half expected him to wire brush the circuit board XD
