low voltage capacitor tester New invention release to public
#8

Once again, another long, drawn out, video presented by Mr. Carlson, bordering on irrelevancy if not error. I lost interest in that guy the day he started going on about non polarized plastic film capacitors being polarized, and supposedly "proved it" by connecting one lead to a scope and holding the body of the cap between his fingers. Meanwhile this guy has bought some rather nice Canadian radios over craigslist, and restored them, but never really posts much about them video wise, such as rebuilding the resistor boards that many Rogers products have. Unlike lets say a Brand Z or a Philco 20, radios such as Deforest Crosleys, and Rogers models, are rather poorly represented in restoration blogs, or videos, others are almost non existent. I guess I'm too used to how Buzz, Bob Andersen, radiotvphononut, and Shango066 repair things.
Regards
Arran
