At long last the first installment of my teardown of the donated Saturn V LVDC logic page assembly board. This video is a long one, so probably for hardcore NASA nuts only - many surprises and more to follow as I delve deeper into this priceless piece of space history.

    That tiny tiny kitty voice, what a creaky little friend.

    Was there a part two?

    Isn’t the board more valuable as an artifact?

    How many if these survive? Is dissecting this really the right thing to do?

    I think it's time to buy a hot air 🙂

    Hi Fran. It's delightful to watch your old videos. I'm sorry for what happening to you right now. I hope you can get through this situation well. I can't wait to see your new videos on old school electronics. Cheers!!

    Just think, if you were stuck on the moon trying to fix that so you could get home! Hot air de-solder may work!!

    might be conductive epoxy that would handle a lot of heat

    maybe the pins were welded to the board then the chip was place on the board and the pins folded over the edge of the chip. it looks as if the pins fold over the thin edge and have a weaker connection to the chip than board. if they were spot welded as it seems, it would make sense that the pin is welded before the chip was installed otherwise the weld current could destroy the chip.

    ChipQuik is great stuff. Not proprietary. Cerrolow 136 I believe, melts at 136*F. A little ChipQuik really does go a long way, making the high asking price not as painful. You do want to warm it up with your hands a little before bending, otherwise it breaks rather easily.

    Wow, dis ist the coolest stuff I've ever seen 😳

    A part of me feels that applying voltage to it would be like rubbing Aladdin's lamp, haha!
