Mr. Carlson, you know as much as I do at this point... Me : LMAO I wish !! that's why I watch every video you make, BEST TEACHER EVER!!!

This man has the best - voice set performance / vocal, mic audio in my opinion on entire Youtube; video voice is so clean and crisp w/ hint of old radio sound mic (without any his or interface) I just love it + love every now video he pushes out 😎 for me yet again 1h of quality - educational program; well spent 👍

I can tell you one thing, I got no idea of what you are talking about, but I enjoy your videos.

This is just pure art, from the root cause analysis, to the electrical design, to the physical layout of the circuit board, to the individual solder joints. Fantastic, these types of videos are what keeps me coming back!

That Fluke tricked me haha. It looked like it had somehow been sawn in half and still working when you were probing the supply rails on those ICs. Remote display. Very cool feature after looking up that model. Nice repair, too. Wonderful content in some tough times lately. Thank you so much, Paul. It helps me and many others keep trucking.

Every time he says, "You know as much as I do," I laugh. No, no I do not, sir.

Others: The regulator IC is fried, gotta get a new supply. MrCarlsonsLab: I'm going to design my own new board with the same footprint. Totally admire you sir!

Oh boy, does this bring back memories. I think this is the Anatek 25-2 lab power supply. I used to sell these to schools and labs across Canada. Anatek was started by Allan Crawford who also started Allan Crawford Associates. I was a sales manager at ACA. Anatek was more importantly a designer of custom OEM power supplies. Our largest order was for a custom designed switching regulator multioutput power supply for NCR cheque sorting machines that were produced at a new plant in Waterloo Ontario. Volume was so high that the power supplies were shipped daily in custom made shipping containers that fit directly into the cargo hold of 747 cargo jets. Anatek was the 2nd largest customer next to the Canadian Post Office, Vancouver to Toronto! If anyone can relate to these facts, I will expand on the story of how this large order was won!

This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen on YouTube. You are very gifted Mr. Carlson. That is why I have been a Patreon subscriber for over a year now. I do wish that I was younger again & Went into electronics repair when I was going to signup to Devry Institute back in 1972. But I didn't have an instructor close by with knowledge like yours to Elmer me along. I chickened out at the last month of application. So I turned to a 50 year career in motorcycle mechanics instead. At 70 now, I've got the time to listen & learn from you, But I just can't turn back time. I just wonder where Electronics would have taken me in this wonder world of digital technology ? I started as a Novice Ham building Heathkits with tubes which I still have But don't turn on anymore because I can't get parts & Couldn't get them working again with my limited knowledge. THANK YOU for sharing your gifts of knowledge with us ! I do hope you read this.

Paul, you're a very smart guy and thankfully you live within our time. I am constantly surprised at the things you do with circuitry design, and I can't thank you enough for the tips and pointers you've taught us over time. If I could continue to be a supporter on Patreon I would do it in a heartbeat, but Covid-19 has affected my health and wallet these days, I reluctantly had to back away from support. As soon as my financial situation is restored, you best believe I will return to Patreon and supporting you once again.

When I was a kid, I always enjoyed watching Don Herbert on Mr. Wizard's Lab. You transport me back in time with your clear explanations and graphic demonstrations of how things work.

Im going to watch this to save myself from creative depression. Mr. Carlson is almost like a superhero, especially in soviet cartoons. Thanx for the video!

When you learn more in an hour then a whole week at school.

That’s a beautiful example of a star ground, Paul! It occurs to me that many of your viewers might not understand the concept and why it’s essential in devices like these. Perhaps you could explain it in a future video?

Your videos are so therapeutic, and always remind me of Christmas, sitting in a dark, warm kitchen in the middle of the night on a chilly winters night, having just discovered one of the best engineers in existence. Thank you ever so much, dear Paul, I come back again and again to your channel, a real Rolls Royce of engineering sources. I hope you have no more cracking trees and iced wires this winter :) God bless you all. Shalom. Blessings. Matthew.

You're so calm while you're working on equipment. I evaluate repairs on a "curse scale" From a 1 curser to a 10 curser. 😁

Thanks for that video! Even though I was tired as hell I still sat here and watched all of it becaue you've put so much effort into making those videos, and they are clearly very informative and enjoyable. Especially because your videos are models for what can be done to help the planet: Reuse equipment by repairing it, not buying something new. I wish there were more people like you.

Stumbling upon this channel years ago and subscribing has been better than four years of electronics basics classes in college

My brain thought that fluke display was edited in.
