  &quot;What are you doing?&quot;<br>&quot;Just watching a barely moving video of a man trying to get a bit of string around a small circle of plastic.&quot;<br>&quot;You what?!&quot;<br>&quot;Best stuff on YouTube this. Now shush, please.&quot; 😁😆<br>Cracking fix, Vince. I have absolutely no use for one of these, but I really want one now - your enthusiasm is infectious.

  1970s and 80s design is, IMO, far more futuristic than our current &quot;oh, look, it&apos;s a featureless black slab with a web service&quot; design.

  These B&amp;O sets still look smart today compared to all the plastic junk they sell nowadays. Good on you for saving it Vince.

  The grey plug is the &quot;BS5733 Masterpiece&quot; a rewireable 3 pin, 6 Amp Masterplugs often used for hifi and home entertainment at one point. Very useful.

  I’m 55 and did the first ever GSCE in electronics and then got sponsored to do my electrical engineering qualifications. You should be proud of your fault finding expertises. It can be applied in so many environments. This should be taught to children. It would make so much of a difference to our world. I spend my working day is spent fault finding in data systems , the trouble is I am the only one able to do it &nbsp;in a company of 20k people. I am so overworked. I train people but they just find it either hard work or just &nbsp;not in their pay grade. All the best.

  Round object you found loose might be the pokey bits from the rubber feet that have broke off.

  I&apos;ll say it again: Never change how lo-fi your videos are.<br>I have been with you on and off again since go, and I really like that you have not changed.

  Hi Vince. The green “arrow” looking lights under the huge tuning dial, are not just for decoration, or to indicate stereo. They actually tell you, how to fine tune your station. If for example the left arrow is brighter that the right, just move the slider slightly to the left. You will see the left arrow decrease in brightness, because you are tuned in properly. Nice repair by the way! 🙂

  I remember back in 79/80 a friend of mine worked at an audio store in the mall close to where we lived. Once in a while on Friday or Saturday night my friends and I would go out to eat, so we would meet at the store right before closing. We would play with all the audio candy while they were locking up, he would show us the latest and greatest, and we would drool over it. <br>We were in college at the time and The Bang &amp; Olufsen equipment was way out of my $2 price range.
