I repair farming equipment for a living. This is Euromatic 93-2, a fan/temp controller for a stable. It's obsolete, no spare parts, and dead. Took me eight man-hours in one month to gather replacement components and fix. The owner will pick it up on monday.3yr ⋅ gurksallad ⋅ r/electronics

Dirt Cheap Frame Grabber (DCFG) is the best beginner project! It's an NTSC video capture board that costs a few dollars. It uses a parallel port to capture video.

Saw this beauty as part of a repair today. TCXOs don't get such loving, omnidirectional heat application (from an IGBT, no less). Yes the board failed. Surprisingly this 85C cap didn't - despite the adjacent scorch marks. Worst board design I've seen all week XD3yr ⋅ oreng ⋅ r/electronics
