In this video I unbox my new Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter.

The hard copy manual which was in the box I received was in Chinese (I think) but I found the English documentation available on the web from the manufacturer over here: Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter.

Shoutout to my mate @ElectrArc240 who was the person that made me aware of this Fluke multimeter, I learned about it in one of his videos.

If you enjoyed this video and are interested in the Fluke 17B+ you can see a product demonstration over here: Demo #1: How to Use All the Features of the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter | In The Lab With Jay Jay.

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.

Unboxing #10: Unboxing of Ampcom Automatic Network Cable Tester | In The Lab With Jay Jay

In this video I unbox an Ampcom Automatic Network Cable Tester from AliExpress. It was a bit confusing because the AliExpress page says this is an ANENG M469D. But actually it’s not. It’s an Ampcom Automatic Network Cable Tester, which is a similar bit of kit. In the video I test this equipment with both a normal patch cable and a crossover cable and it seems to work okay, so for five bucks I’m a happy customer.

Silly Job Title: Power Provider

It’s the In The Lab With Jay Jay Halloween Special! This evening: another unboxing video! This time we’re taking a look at my retro gaming console: The Mini Classic Game Console. Complete with 620 odd games!

I picked this thing up at Vinnies (the thrift store) for fifteen Aussie buckaroos.

The main circuit board looks like this:

I found the S71PL256NC0HFW5U2 which is a 64Mb flash memory. The details of the other circuitry was obscured.

Here is the list of games on this thing:

And this is the manual:

I managed to get this thing wired through an AV to HDMI adapter, then a HDMI to USB adapter, so in the last half of the video you can see me demoing a few of the games and scrolling through the full list of games.

Oh, and in this video I read “NTSL” on the manual and say “they got that wrong, it’s NTSA”, but *I* got that wrong, and it’s “NTSC”. The American video standard. In Australia almost everything is PAL.

Unboxing #5: Unboxing of AliExpress TE-801 Third Hand With Magnifier | In The Lab With Jay Jay

In this video I unbox two “different” helping hands (AKA “third hand”) only to discover they are the same TE-801 model.

I purchased these separately on AliExpress:

They are exactly the same product so if you’re planning to purchase might as well get the cheapest option. Note that the first link above also has a separate more expensive option which is actually a different product, I didn’t get one of those.

In addition to unboxing these third hands I also add some 4mm heat shrink to the alligator clips to take the bite out of the teeth.

Note: in this video I have the annoying habit of calling “heat shrink”, “shrink wrap”. The correct term is heat shrink, shrink wrap is a different type of thing.

In the video I use 4mm yellow heat shrink:

The hot air gun I use is a part of my Horusdy Soldering Station.

The batteries I use are Duracell AAA batteries.

My gloves are:
