Tom Evans Mastergroove/Mend It Mark

[mr_rye89]

I know you guys like a good laugh and this thing seems like a joke for 25,000 UK pounds.

Use the title of the thread to search for the video in case the one I posted gets scrubbed.

Absolutely, Tom Evans Cheap Shit Rip off merchant.
Funny how heaps of people have re-uploaded the video, standing up in support of Mend it Mark.
I really hope it affects sales for Tom Jack-wad

Mend it Mark videos are great.

He has an aspirational set of tools and excellent knowledge of use.

Lots of snot balls in there...

actually, I've seen a couple of his cassette deck repair videos in the past and noticed a few rookie things (on the mechanics side)... so, maybe, cassette decks aren't exactly his cup of tea, being some VERY specific matter which is different than other kind of HiFi gear... including the use of some "questionable" calibration tapes.

This video is very good, though.

Yeah, Mark is just great. He did mention that he hates working on cassette decks though (in the AD-F990 video), and he doesn't have calibration tapes. But my god he will not give up, and he is a small factory with insane knowledge and abilities. From winding motors and creating entire PCB and circuit design for them, to creating replacement gears (not 3d prints!). He might not have the means to properly tune a deck (no calibration tapes or tools to check/tune the tapepath, although I thought about gifting him a set of HPR tapes), but he will fix it and then-some. His Beocord repair video is just insane, I know a lot of technicians that specialize in decks wouldn't wanna touch this thing, including me LOLz:

He has my full respect and support. Even the iFixit guys expressed their support with the Tom Evans situation.

actually, in the past, I had only watched a couple of his cassette decks videos and I wasn't too impressed, so my idea about him was skewed... and if he doesn't love cassette decks that's understandable, as you cannot know just everything.

But, indeed, with purely electronic stuff/devices he is totally into his own comfort zone.
