Thanks to your videos I was able to replace the laser on my Onkyo DX-530 CD Player and got it running like new again. It was my teenage years player and saved up for months to afford to purchase it back in the late 80s.

I wanted to tell you that watching your videos is a psychological relief that takes me away from the noise of the world, to the point that I've become addicted to them.

Just got my YouTube "year in review", and your channel is my #1 MOST WATCHED channel of 2025 for me. I watched your videos 762 times and landed as the top .1% of viewers on your channel. Just thought I would share that with you 👍 Really enjoy your content

With all those faults, I'd say you can't call this a quick fix... but your methodical fault finding made this a very interesting video!

It's so satisfying to watch you repair devices that are objectively not worth saving just as a challenge. Great work!

I don't know why, but when it worked after the motor swap, it brought a smile to my face and again when you touched up the Sansui logo.

That worm screw was very satisfying to see working on that gear. I like displays that look like old pocket calculators. Good job!
