I use old iPhone 6 smartphones in my lab as computers with small screens. I use them to display notes while I’m working. Recently I added some notes about the Greek letters:

Silly Job Title: Note Taker.
In this video we teardown an old Sanyo RM6018 clock radio which I found on the street when I was walking home the other day. A search for LM8560 datasheet turns up a lot of interesting info. The LM8560 is what implements the clock part of the circuit. The radio is separate. We’re looking at the clock first, might have a look at the radio some other time. I have ordered some parts from AliExpress so that I can do part 2 of this video, so stand by for that.
We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station for some spot soldering.
We use the Pro’sKit SS-331H Desoldering Pump to to remove some wires.
We use the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter to test the battery.
We use the Riden RD6006 Bench Power Supply to deliver power for testing.
We use the Bosch IXO VI Electric Screwdriver to remove the screws from the case.
Shout out to my mate @nanofix who I mention in this video. If you’re interested in reballing he has a lot to teach you! Check out his Ultimate Microsoldering Tool Guide, particularly for hints about cleaning supplies.

Some quotes which came up in the video:
Young man, in mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them.— John von Neumann
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.— Richard Feynman
I mention that my friend from Learning as a hobby is going to send me the CDROM that goes with this book, so I will update this post with a link to the ISO when it arrives!
