Teardown Lab - Food Temperature Probe
Oh look, another broken thing for me to try and unbreak. I sense a pattern here. hmm
The thermistor probe part is quite interesting, quite nice to have this to shove into stuff, like logging the temperature of soil or something?
Save yourself the bother, do not try and fix these, just get a new one from Amazon!

Psion Wavefinder - The first SDR Radio Device
Its quite cool seeing this old gadget again. I recall seeing it on Tomorrows world (or similar) at the time. It was so futuristic so I had to grab a couple when they were released. Unfortunately it was a bit rubbish back then, maybe it will work a little better now?

Lets design up a new circuit to test on the T8 milling machine!
If you want to buy this actual 7 segment screen please head over to by shop and thanks for supporting the channel: www.backofficeshow.com/shop
You can definately mill PCBs with the T8 Engraver on this if you adjust it correctly and I have engraved into Anodised aluminium as well! PCBs are very doable as well! What fun!

I have seen these on various internet sites listed at various brands, just shop around for a good price. This one came with a nice PCB and PSU, some older models seem to need two PSUs so watch out for that!
