Yep, that's where things have headed. Fluffy bullshit to hide the fact that the emperor has no clothes. I was 10 when this video was made, and it's brought back memories and the realization that sometimes too much info/noise is not a good thing.

Back when people didn't need to be entertained to learn something

I share your sentiment. All the old car commercials, military tutorials etc. seem to focus much more on the hard facts and science behind something. Almost as though they've been made to teach.

Good point! A few years ago Justin timberlake brought sexy back, maybe in 2019 we can bring "no bullshit" electronics back?

Old school is best school

It started as a film and was converted to videotape in 1980. I remember watching this during a Pace presentation at a company I worked for back then. Pace was in and out of McDonnel Douglas all the time. The rep had a special cart to haul around the projector and demo equipment.

Editing video was much more difficult then, so instructional movies didn't use it as a trick to keep the viewers' attention.

it's only 90% better than what's out there now because there's 1000000% more out there.

It's a common theme... many years ago, only experts edited films like this. Today, any schlub can make a UKposts video. Same in the music industry, or other places too. When anybody can do something, the average quality goes down.

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 I agree with you completely. Goofs who couldn't tell a basic story to save their lives are posting 30 min youtube videos of comperable junk. This isn't just good video its good narrative and story telling.

Very true. And on a similar note. You know you're watching a HughesNet commercial when someone tries convincing you of the benefits of internet access. Honestly, at this point if somebody actually requires coercion to consider subscribing to an ISP, they don't need it, and likely can't even use it. Lmao For those outside the US, or otherwise haven't seen these commercials, HughesNet is a satellite internet provider for very remote rural customers (where hardline broadband can't reach), and every last one of their commercials over the last decade vaguely run down a basic list of "appealing" connectivity incentives, for example: Talking to the grandkids. Reconnecting with old friends. They're nonspecific, but they mean Facebook. Finding recipes for cooking. Watching your favorite TV shows, on-demand. And anything else reserved for the eldest of boomers or perhaps time travelers from the distant past, that have never laid eyes on an elecktronomonical whatchamacallit or whizbang doodad beep-boop box. WHAT BRAND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! Very out of touch marketing, one could say.

@@NightsReign i have 2 questions right now, Mr. James 1. Are you german 2. If you are german, do you have the steperd dog of your country

@@uiopuiop3472 Why are you asking those questions?

@@dooplon5083 Do you have the steperd dog of your country then, Mr. Colton? And do you have a say in the matter, Mr. Colton?

@@uiopuiop3472 steperd dog? Is that a thing?

I couldn't find your "trainee handbook basic soldering for electronics" referenced in your video, not even on your site. Any idea where I can get a PDF version?

Even after 10yrs ur video are use full

Perfectly put !!

LOL. so true. When they wheeled in the TV or projector cart into the classroom, it was a big smile on all of our faces!

That sound, in a warm dark room. Most comfortable place on earth.

Stephen Macomber your comment brought back memories. I also loved it when we could convince the teacher to play the film backwards if we had time after class. That was always funny.

I would suggest putting on ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rXyiYZWAjW6lsY0.html in a background tab while watching this, for best effect.

I felt like I was in an old basic college class where you watch the lessons from home.

He didn't even tell us to like, comment and subscribe

​@@MickV13243or have a cringy and unnecessarily long video intro.

phuturephunk I like how they broke it down to a science.

+Domini Studios tru but they didn't mention back then that it's best to use lead free solder as to avoid cancer and leukemia ...

Oh yeah, I believe I've seen him in a video like this before where he was standing in front of a giant, life-size motherboard prop. I was like this is totally awesome!

+Bryan Erquiaga Leaded solder won't give you cancer as long as you maintain proper hygiene and wash your hands after you're done.

It says 1980 @ 0:05 seconds. Nice Video. ;)

Lucy, this is far older than the 70s. It's probably 40s or 50s. (when they used projectors - like the summary says)

I mean I even noticed that our host is a lefty.

haha, nice. Yeah those old instructional vids tend to give me a warm and fuzzy feeling too.

It's probably the comforting sound of the mid 1950s American accent which gives you that state of euphoria.

ASMR

It helps a lot that the background sound is removed and only the voice over is heard. Also the redish tint of this video gives away that it's being even more cozy.

I can dig it jack!

oldskool funk Haha

So far the old school videos are the ones that explain well better than the new ones these days.

paceworldwide I am older and that looks more like the 60’s style dress, music, and sound quality. But I may be wrong, I used tree ring counts.

That's 100% not the late 80s. The carbon dating machine is miscalibrated. That's the 70s latest.

Didn't the copyright notice say 1980?

@ProgressiveG 1980? Volkswagen Rabbit drives by early on in the exterior shots.

Doesn't matter which era it is from as long as its entertaining and knowledge building.....

you have right,i should save this thing instead of thousand movies on external hard

I prefer lots of pauses, hesitations and babies crying in the background, makes it seem more genuine

Paul Anthony was all pro in the D.C. area.

Best Training on uTube on this subject.

What's up with the terminator profile pic

+I967 It is so much better than almost all of the newer stuff. Man, people sure forgot how to teach.

It also doesn't help that some people that are being taught don't want to learn. So then everything is dumbed down and super vague for everyone that wants to learn.

I know, super late reply...The fact that you had to use the phrase "super mega awesome" proves the point that we are constantly bombarded by tons of hyperbolic bullshit these days and the only way to cut through it is to be even more "super mega hyperbolic".

@@JVielloIt seems like 50% of the time you have to cut through bs just get to what you want.

nah, it’s because some people trying to make the “average up” they think, calling it “good for average people”, and mess up the whole world… I meant Chinese government.

33 years :)

SantaHul Ah yes, right, 1980.

Going on 37 years now. Probably more as I think it was done in the late 70's and converted to videotape in 1980. I saw this back when it was a "New release" :)

Grant Martin It's a possibility then that this is 40 years old by now!

That's because they didn't have to worry about entertaining short attention span morons or offending snowflakes...they gave the information and you either learned it or you didn't. School was pass or fail! No one cared how you felt about it, you want to be an electronics tech? Pass! Oh, this is too tough for you? Here's a shovel! ...Good ole days!

70's

Just the fact ma'am! ~ Sgt Joe Friday!

I agree. It's great. The next video should show "why did this solder joint fail"? Also "How doing it wrong while connected to components burns up things". I had to learn from real life. A lot of times you don't get an option to disconnect everything. For sure not in space!

Ride on Brother. I was there when we made it. Marc

Thanks for everyone's compliments : This Video on 16mm was first rate at the time sadly the transfers are all from 3/4 U-matic. Pace made this program to many who used them to train employees: corporate and military classrooms. Produced in over 13 languages teaching mill spece class 3 soldering and PCB repair and OEM rework. The program was made in adherence with IPC certifications. Pace equipment is no good without brains behind the tool. Bill Siegel produced this as a product to help sell PACE products, but you will see no actual promotions in it. The programs were a big hit at the time. The beginning of the Rework and Repair program still gives me the chills. It's a powerful motivational speech. I've heard it many times selling it. Now, you as a tech may never have to use this content, you guys are SMD BGA all the way. On Pace's Web site you will see SMD training using their gear. You might see me in a video I made when you search Pace Inc. Some of its content is still good for most SMD work. The skill is some serious shit when it comes to biomed equip. , Avionics or anywhere failure is not an option. Reliability is the key! Much thanks to all of you. Marc Siegel

My Dad did a good job on the text. A big motivator he was. best Marc

Also in 2021

Not just for time-travelling capacitors! LOL

A few things have changed, SMT rework requires you to use drag soldering now, what old timers would have ridiculed as "solder shoveling" but with tiny SMD ICs there is no other way and they have tips designed for this method now. Also I have found that with very large wire and connectors like 8 AWG and 12mm bullet connectors you sometimes have to resort to tricks like kapton tape to protect against potential solder spill but that's really closer to welding than soldering (some would also ridicule that but I don't feel like being punished for a slight misjudgment in solder amount by having to completely redo a connector)

Mazinga This was a local weather man in the Washington DC area in the 80s and 90s. His name is Paul Anthony :)

+Dean Johnson I've used both and didn't really experience a difference

Dean Johnson which sponge made the tip discolored, brass, steel, or both?

+Dean Johnson I couldn't find a local source for quality items for soldering, either. Try e-bay or Amazon. Both have good-quality solder, brass tip cleaners, temperature-controlled soldering irons, etc.

Don't worry. We'll Make America Great Again.

I 1000000% agree, this is when world was a good place to live in general, just notice with how much effort and care this video was made and polished. Only someone who loves what they do could've made this video and explained it in such detail and such passion. And if I may assume, its made without money in mind. Nowadays its all for money so no, you will never make America great until you teach people that its not all about money.People today are scared and thus angry, they explode easy out of fear and so love is repressed.

"Don't worry. We'll Make America Great Again." No you won't

America needs people with hunger for learning.

juliusvalentinas It’s going to happen, but a price will be paid. That’s why I’m here learning how to build electronics - in preparation.

ha! good one; I hear ya

I used to be observant like that when I was young and not jaded

Amazing vision

Trump has our back

Like during the Great Depression

@@T3ddy0wns only if your a russian

When America was great. The rich paid their taxes, we built roads, schools, and we went to the damn moon!

bro its a soldering tutorial calm down

You laugh but I worked on multilayer boards on the F/A 18 Hornet which were a 1970's designed fighter aircraft. (Takes 10 years before they become manufactured. In 1987 I was trained on 4 layer multilayer boards, so, multilayer isn't a new thing by any standard.
