Could it be that the glue covering R39 has become conductive, lowering the resistance ?

Les bananes, et il me semble aussi les pommes, dégagent de l'éthylène, donc tu peux les mettre avec des tomates pour accélérer leur mûrissement.

What an extensive review! 👍
But for me, a fish sauce should be only, as the name implies, made of fish, with only salt and water. So any variant with added sugar, MSG or whatever else is a BIG NO-NO !
There's already too much hidden sugar added in everything where it shouldn't and is bad for health.

I was in contact with www.sofh.it and started to talk about refurbishing a QIC drive's captsan, and he was ok to try if i could send him a capstan and dimensions of rubber part. But i had other priorities to deal with and the drive has remain stored as is still then. But certainly something to try.

Capstan/roller refurbishing is also a problem for audio/video tape devices. There are some people out there able to recreate ones with new rubber, casted (not glued or force inserted) on metal axle, adjusted and balanced with a lathe with tight tolerance...

Tri-Flow lubricant: "Formulated with PTFE" which is a PFAS (also know as "forever chemical") and health concerning.

I enjoyed this final episode so much! Thanks to Ben and all the crew 🙏 The animations in end credits are epic, i would love to know how it was produced. Must be so exciting and rewarding to work on such a project, and to have the means to carry it out. I dream one day i could work on such a project.

Several details made me wonder if this episode was shot in film rather than digital? Noise in the last still picture, white dust like spots (like if it was dust on the negative film), the look of rolling end credits (a little fuzzy with saturated luma)... So really film or post effects?

Would you have more information about the nastyness of these moulds? I know that in the nature/environment some can be dangerous for our health, but until now i've not found any document about what kind of mould can grow on magnetic tapes, and if they are dangerous or not for humans.

Does your contact have some documented information about this cristallized formaldehyde assumption?
I've not been able to find informations about potential mold toxicity/health risks. Baking could kill living mold, but unlikely to destroy their spores that can dessiminate everywhere in the air.

UCA tapes not KCA 🤦🏻♂️
Here some white casing small tapes (including some Sony and JVC alignment tapes, which is quite unfortunate) with wax crayon smell and low to very low RF level. 4 JVC alignment tapes (probably using originally Sony manufactured tapes) left fine white powder residue when cleaned.

So i wonder if this could be a combined effect of some released chemical exposed to humidity and then agregated and cristallized when stored in a more dry environment. And i don't know if the same formulation of tape binder used in some white KCS tapes could have been used in large KCA ones.

I've had some Sony KCS tapes in white plastic casing (also sold under other brands like Fuji) and some, despite not having mold, released a fine white powder when cleaned in professionnal cleaning machines. These tapes also smell like wax crayons, and do often exhibit a strong loss of RF level.

I never heard of crystalized formaldehyde before, and this mostly looks like mold. But there are also some kind of cristal looking things on the central plastic hub on the before picture, and apparently no more after baking. Strange...

Great video, thanks to @techconnectify.bsky.social too!
I always wondered about that without taking time to scientifically compare those options. Now i know!
I wonder if the use of those all-in-one tabs containing too much detergent could be the reason of some damaged glass items? It's not limestone

Proper decoupling practices, and why you should leave 100nF behind
Ever wondered why 100nF is a go-to value for decoupling capacitors? This number has pervaded in datasheets and electronics advice going back to the 1980s, and is still widely present in the datashe…

Glass capacitor ?!? 🤯 Would i thought it was a diode.
I learned something new, so today is a good day! Thanks 👍

This guy is refurbishing video head for an Akai VT-100 VTR by replacing broken ferrites with U-Matic ones, rewinding new coils on them, glue them back on holders, and putting back the heads on the drum. Impressive! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNnn...
Impressive, even if VT is a low quality format.

Quite a few should work great on nowdays system using the great VueScan software. I've read that it works also with SCSI -> FireWire -> Thunderbolt adapters on macOS, and maybe also with PCIe -> Thunderbolt (untested). Otherwise exists also for Windows and Ubuntu.

Nice! Is it really 1956? I'm surprised to see at 8'10 a display with animated video saying "soup contains 14 garden vegetables". I wonder what technology was used at that time. 🤔

Using/replacing your wiping fork during a copy? Doesn't it induce tape tension and speed variations detrimental to optimal playback quality?
Out of curiosity, what cleaning product were you using?

Yeah, that's what i feared. Probably no other way that manually using various intermediate versions to incrementally upgrade the file format... Oh dear! 🫠

Another thought: dissemination of spores during mechanical cleaning process and/or tape playback. It could be usefull to find a way to effectively decontaminate devices (cleaner, tape players, disk drives...), cassette or disks cases, and even surrouding areas.
