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!

It probably ventures way too far into the "exactly wtf is happening" territory, but Mr. Carlson's Lab covers tons of tube electronics, mostly radios and amplifiers, but occasionally other equipment like oscilloscopes and function generators, etc.

Again, very in depth, but still really cool to see all the old equipment and some of the clever solutions the original engineers found to make it all work.

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendation. I’m sure I’ll find something to binge on his channel lol
