This guy is restoring VINTAGE audio gear. It is definitely younger than the Boatanchors we usually work on, but it is a lot older than more recent gear that is made with largely pick-and-place machines and surface mount components. There are mostly through hole components here.
There are some challenges I've never thought about: glue that over time starts to mess up the circuitry. Fusible resistors? Who knew? And then there are relay contacts that go really bad. We use a lot of these kinds of relays.
All in all, there are a lot of good ideas in this video. His other videos are probably worth watching too. I think it will be especially useful for my friend Bob, KD4EBM who does a lot of work in this area.
Please let me know what you think. Comment below.
