This is an old video I found while tidying up my files today. I recorded this back in September 2023, around about a year ago. Figured I might as well publish it on Elliot’s Extras.

In this video I unbox my Yum Cha M6013 Capacitance Meter and my Yum Cha MESR-100 ESR Meter. Then I attach some banana plugs to one of my Yum Cha Probe Tweezers.

Today I was organising my media files and I found this old video. I recorded this back in August 2023 but I never released it. I think back then I didn’t have this second channel and I decided this video wasn’t good enough for the main channel, so it just kind of got forgotten. But I thought it was fun so I have published it here for the record.

In this video I do a time lapse of me cleaning my resistors. While the time lapse is playing I include a narration in which I discuss things I had been reading at the time. There are two links for the show notes, being these:

This is an old video I released on Elliot’s Extras back in September 2023. It didn’t get a write up on the blog at the time, so just doing that now. In this video, which was the first ever video for Elliot’s Extras, my second channel, I organise some of my diodes from AliExpress. This is a really long and really boring video, a perfect fit for the first Elliot’s Extras video. :)

In this video I try to attach some banana plugs to my microphone cables, but I do not succeed.

I tried to find some examples of how to do this properly on YouTube, but I didn’t find much: how to assemble banana plugs

I did find a video of a guy who essentially just explained all the problems I ran into: Banana Plugs & Binding Posts

And this one over here confiremed: How to fit a Banana Plug

In this video I take apart a broken kettle then put it back together, then magically it is fixed!

In this video I use my Yum Cha Mini Magnetic Precision Screwdriver Set for the first time. It takes me a little while to figure out how to clip the tips in. I needed the triangle bit for this job.

In this video I clean my 1% and 2% tolerance resistors (my 5% tolerance resistors were cleaned previously). That’s 37 component trays worth, being 37 different types from 1Ω to 1MΩ. During the video I print new labels for the component drawers with my label maker and I use my iPhone to double check the colour coding.
