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

-
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.

low battery indicator circuit

this is a very usefull circuit if you're building projects powered by batteries.this simple circuit informs you when the battery needs to be recharged by turning on a led.the threshold is set to the desired voltage by a multiturn potentiometer. the only thing you should have in mind is that it doesnt work with red led's,at least with the ones i tryied. i think it has something to do with the very low voltage that red led's need to lit.didnt have the time to experiment further.besides that,the circuit works perfect. components needed: R1= 1k (2,2k if you use smd led) R2= 2.2K U2= TL431 adjustable shunt regulator(can be found very easy in power supplies) PR1=10K potentiometer (for higher precision use multiturn)  LED1= led (not red-didnt work with me) here is a video building it.

ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE SOLDERING STATION

this is the first test video i uploaded to my new youtube channel so please forgive the poor quality of the video. in the next videos im making i will provide a more detailed presentation and HD video of this project. if you don't wanna miss it please subscribe . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this is an adjustable temperature soldering station using arduino uno or pro mini to sense the temperature and control the soldering iron. this circuit-project is used many months now in my workshop.i built 4 of them and gave one as a gift to a friend and all of them work flawlessly. the solder iron used is a cheap hakko clone which uses a type k thermocouple for temperature sensing. notice that i didnt use the L7809 regulator shown in the schematics because it was geting too warm.instead i used a buck converter for the 9 volt output for the lm358 and then a L7805 regulator  to power the arduino.you can a
