vintage mic amplifier ''quick look inside'' (samsung S21FE video test)

Image
this time im taking a look inside an old pa amplifier(PAL A208) made in greece, that is still used in a church.the only problem this amplifier had was that the potentiometers were a little ''scratchy''.i think it is interesting to look inside this device and see how electronics were made about 30 years ago and of course by hand. this video was shot with a samsung s21fe at 4k/60fps and the video is colour corrected because i wasnt using any external lights and had to white balance the video a little bit.keep in mind that there is some compression in the editing software and some compression by youtube when uploading a video. i would like to see comments about the video quality because im still experimenting.
