I’m using WD40 branded Contact Cleaner https://www.wd40.com/products/contact-cleaner/ Q) Did you forget to put the ground cable back on? A) No. But you left the gas on. Q) That’s not how you pronounce Router A) It is where I live - and anywhere that doesn’t speak Americanised English. https://youtu.be/bcg9LeFIoNU Q) Can you record the synth to the tape A) Yes - this is covered in the video at thirteen mins in. But to recap, you can record any of the components to the cassette section. Q) Something about solder A) OK - Not a topic that holds any interest for me. Soldering only took up approximately one second of the video running time…deliberately. Ideally I’d like to spend even less of my remaining time discussing solder. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- Merchandise ----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------- SUPPORT --------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ---------- Outro Music ----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------ AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.
