This came from the world's most generous slot machine! But I take a close look outside and inside, and it is pretty cool. Enjoy!

    Hi Fran, Thanks for your video and explanation, I have a Manix and an Arfyc machine with edge-lit display. now my question is whether the lights also have different colors and are they still for sale somewhere.

    Binge watching what comes up. All that stuff but no microscope? Doesn't seem possible Fran. Would love a Franfan t-shirt but I guess you don't do those. Please think about it. For us.

    Prozac used to make my hands shake like that, I quit taking it because my hands where shaking bad enough with a soldering iron, I couldn't land it where I needed to and was burning things around my target and almost myself a few times as sudden twitches could happen from it too, it was weird.

    Don't let it get you down :^)

    Argh, YouTube seems to have eaten my comment when I attempted to edit it. I won't try to reproduce the long thing, but in short, thanks for the tidbit about the Back to the Future speedometer displays. I thought I'd seen incandescent 7-segment displays somewhere besides elevators, and now I realize movies would've been the other big place, since the easily adjustable brightness of such displays would be handy for matching to lighting and exposure setups of different scenes.

    Hey Fran, you're great. You hooked me with the UFO videos. Very objective perspective.

    Canal com 155 mil inscritos e não há um vídeo legendado em inglês, uma lástima.

    Why does the orange display have a picture of the "Death Star" on it?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mook Mook says:

    The display looked amazing without it's cover, Thank you Fran.

    That is so cool! Fran than you so much for archiving all of these obscure displays that we would never get to see otherwise!

    cool transistors remind me of old bc108 ones we used as a kid

    ET is fairly common – my wife has had it for the last ten years. You don't have to apologize about lack of fine motor control. Thanks for showing this very interesting historical oddity. Things like this aren't practical today due to costs, but I think it would be neat to see some old devices come back in niche applications where price isn't the primary driver.

    Fran, getting on in years myself I have found that small needle nose pliers help me immensely when dealing with small parts and fiddly bits.

    Fran, what you've showing here looks more like an intentional tremor than an essential tremor. The difference is an intentional tremor gets greater the more you try to control it. You may find that it reduces if you look away (someone else can look and tell you). Intentional tremors appear to come from a processing delay in the visual perception system and/or motor neural system, causing an underdamped oscillation, to give you an electrical-system-oriented description. (I'm an aging double-E & computer architect myself, not a doctor, even as I've studied physiology, psychology and neurology.)
