Hi everyone! I just found out about this sub and am happy to be subscribed. Just wondering if you all watch YouTube videos on the subject. I really like Adrian’s Digital Basement and UsagiElectric. I’m very interested in the vacuum tube computers from the latter and trying to figure out how those work!

Does anyone have any recommendations for other channels with a similar sort of educational-ish style? I like being not told exactly wtf is happening with the electronics but the diagnostic and repair and explanation parts are the best!

Anyways thanks for reading!

You're welcome.

In retrospect I sort of got over excited and rather than answering your exact question I just shared a bunch of my favorite channels. But hopefully you can still find one or two that fits the bill. :)

Super old computers get me pretty excited too! Lol

Do you work in whatever field this type of electronics tinkering falls within? If so I’m just curious what sort of education you obtained. I’m a bit too old for a career switch but this stuff reaaaaally fascinates me.
