content: If he bought the machine and wants to destroy it I guess he entitled to do that, but seems a shame. I know there are people that would love those parts, or even the whole vintage machine intact. Can we not just remove a side panel and show the innards? I've seen this guy before. He just rips things apart and doesn't really have much of a clue what he's looking at. Seems a little pointless buts that's You Tube.

content: There's no need to rip off a side. Everything inside an arcade machine can be accessed by removing a few screws. The whole back comes off allowing you to see most of it, then a few more screws to remove the controls, coin mechanism, glass panels, light bulbs, speakers, etc.Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

content: This is just another version of the "Will it blend?" Youtube channel. Pointless destruction. Just the sort of thing that occurs when a conquering army loots and pillages a city.Civilizations go through phases. One where they grow and build wealth and knowledge. And another where they gnaw the bones of the prior greatness. This class of videos is a sign of a phase change, hopefully one that will die without fruition.

The voltage amplifier, as he called the power supply (idiot) was built to last the ages. I mean, after 37 years it was still playable.

content: Breaking the CRT like that in a public video was legally dangerous, in our current hyperawareness of heavy metals like cadmium, mercury, and lead. His local government might declare his driveway a hazardous waste site in need of cleanup, if it was brought to their attention. He did it over the seams in the driveway too, so tearing up part of the driveway might be required.

content: With this knowledge, I can build the perfect gaming console using a TV, a chip board, some kind of amplifier for the energy, a keyboard, and a joystick with levers on it, and light bulbs for safety.I can't find any of these parts on DigiKey or Mouser though (they're useless, I can't even find "light bulbs for safety" on the site, what shit dealers!), but I'm sure I can at least salvage a decent silver-coated TV (with a built-in wire mesh) from an old television set. I have some old TV televisions around. Perhaps Jaycar has some amplifiers for the energy.I may have trouble with customs, border security, the AFP and local police, because as we saw in the video, a TV monitor resembles an atomic bomb. I suspect that's why they included light bulbs for safety.They dropped TV monitors on Hiroshima back in the day (but these didn't have light bulbs for safety, and the amplifier for the energy was HUGE). Good times!Be careful fellas, I hear North Korea wants to launch OLED monitors.

content: I just noticed something as I reviewed the video again. When he gets the top off and finds the light bulbs, he says well we better take these out and throw them away, sortof like we better be safe .... but later be busts the holy f*ck out of a dangerous CRT right out in the open.I went back and looked at the video again. He says multiple time it's "sad" that he has to tear it apart - he seems to not want to. I'm thinking well then - don't.And yes as we've said if it belongs to him he can destroy it. I've destroyed old things for fun before. But it's not like sawing into an old rusty whirlpool washer. These things have some cultural significance. I just don't understand that kind of mindset. Tearing into it (as we say here) without destroying it would have been good enough to shows the parts. He keeps saying that I can give this part and that part to someone on YouTube. Then why not take the back or side off to show the inside, leave it intact, and give it away? I don't get how the added drama of the sawing adds much to this particular item. Blah blah blah OK I'm done.

I'd simply point out the dangers if I sent an email at all.There are pounds of lead mixed in the glass, which makes it a disposal problem, but not a serious handling problem, other than the sharp edges. Recycling programs can recover it by melting the glass down.The cadmium is muich more dangerous, since it's in powder form in the phospher. Both an inhalation and a handling risk.And of course the potential for flying glass shards when you make the tube implode.

We can make fun of someone, but let's not actually ruin their lives by being a tattle tail over silliness, either.

Unfortunately government agencies turn a blind eye to that stuff...The tiny bit of lead and phosphor he unleashed is too tiny to worry about compared to the crap corporations do. Though, it's still stupid what he did and a hate mail probably does not hurt to try to get him to smarten up, but I think reporting him is going way too far and falls on the babyish side.Though if he keeps doing crap like that it will accumulate after a while... some of it possibly in his brain.

He started making these videos as a learning exercise for his son, starting off with simple objects. I think the first was a baseball. It was about curiosity and exploration. He started the channel for no other purpose than to record these times with his son. He had no idea it would gain in popularity so quickly.Understand that he and his family do not subscribe to the cult of materialism, where the accumulation of things define your social status, refusing to agree with that is considered heresy and destruction of things is sacrilege; he has no love of things. He apparently makes good money (outside of YouTube) and has plenty, but it is just stuff to him.Quote from: Ushiwaka on June 14, 2017, 12:11:28 pmThat's part of the problem.

Heck, even I have torn down very nice working vintage items and ruined them in the process for the sake of entertainment and education. I could have torn them down non-destructively and put it back together, but it would have required an inordinate amount of work. I've even been attacked for destroying brand new expensive items. But I'm not siding with him because I've done a similar thing before, it's because it's just wrong to attack someone like I have seen here.Ok, I found very little educational value in this video, and it could have been done infinitely better to add educational value, but ultimately it's just entertainment, and it is what it is. You can vote with your thumb and lack of subscription, and leave comments. But attacking people for doing this is wrong.And yes, I'm just as pissed off as anyone that he destroyed a perfectly good vintage arcade machine

Sadly, once the views started rolling in, it switched to entertainment. There have been many times where I was shocked he didn't just pull out a screwdriver. He and his son would have learned more if he could have inspected the components, but it's no longer about education. Still, to attack someone for breaking a thing is crossing a line.

So much so that I didn't mind the "entertainment" aspect of the way they often tore into some of the things.This is the first one I have seen that made me go, woah, this is terrible.They went from zero to 1M subs in a year, that would tend to go to your head pretty quickly.And as a Youtuber with a big audience I can understand the pressure to do bigger and better things.Looking at the list of latest videos, it seems they are sponsored for almost every video now.

He has the right to be entertaining (within reason), and ultimately views are attracted because of entertaining content.Educational content is a delicate balance. You can't be shit boring, and you can't be flash-bang-trendy-bendy-bling-bling exciting.

content: Quote from: MarkS on June 14, 2017, 12:33:48 pmWell MarkS, I would like to respectivly disagree very strenuously. VERY strenuously.Is the original Mona Lisa just a "thing"? How about other art that is representative of human cultural changes and advances? What about the Roman coliseum, or the Mayan relics. Are they just "things' that can be destroyed with no rebuttal or outcry? What if he had the power to blow them up, and did it? If that guy bought the Mona Lisa (as an example) and burned it would you be OK with that? I assume you would. I doubt you would have the same attitude towards your "things" though.I DO NOT place this arcade machine on that level by any means; however I do disagree that just because it is a "thing" it has no value at all and destroying this "thing" is a horrible example to set. I've said in the thread that if he owns it he can destroy it (go back and look), but I damn sure ain't going to agree with his attitude about certain "things" such as this, as I've pointed out. We have a right and obligation to make our opinions known, as long as we try to do it correctly.So, using the term "it's just a thing" is a copout, and I think you know it.That's MY opinion.

Would I attack someone for destroying a priceless artifact? No, save for the ISIS issue, but that is a whole other matter.All that being said, these arcade consoles were produced by the thousands and we're not lacking in duplicates. We're down by one, not down to none. The reactions I'm seeing here are totally disproportionate with what was done. Even if it were the last one, the reactions here are abhorrent.Understand, that I have absolutely no love for things. There is nothing I have or have ever had that means enough to me to get more than a few days of sadness once lost. The most devastating loss for me was a hard drive that was stolen out of my house about 15 years ago. I couldn't care less about the drive. However, it held projects that I had been working on since my teens as well as some games that my dad made that cannot be replaced. Still, I hold no malice towards the thief. Life goes on. I look at the world very differently than a significant portion of the population. If it doesn't directly affect the health and well being of people, I probably don't care all that much.

Yet, if someone was to destroy those things, and someone else attacked that somebody, would you be on the same "measure your reaction, understand that it is replaceable and move on" moral high horse?

We knew that a single crack and it could implodr in our faces. Here in the. US,the proper and legal way to dispose of crt is to bring it to hazard waste facility, which we did.
