You say Sodder I say Solder…

29 December 2009

I noticed there was a very bad buzz on the Sony C37a when I first used it. It seemed to get worse when I wobbled the connector at the end so I called Vintage King Audio, where i bought the mic, and the tech guy there gave me some instructions. “Can you sodder?” he said “Wha??” “Can you sodder?”  he repeated “Sodder!?? What is sodder?? Solder?” “Yes” he said “Sodder”. I made this video to document my first “Sodder”

    Gosh….that looked well complicated. Videos speeded up always look that little bit more hypnotic but that was genuinely impressive.

    Looks complicated! Nice time lapse.

    I need to fix the LCD screen on my Canon. It’s cracked. I wonder if it is possible.

  4. Impressed! You even have your anti-static wrist strap…good man!
    And clever use of the ubiquitous Blu-Tack.

    Yeah, I have the same problem with the “sodder” pronunciation…just can’t stop myself using the “correct” word!

    I love watching people working manually on something. This is magic/ magnetic.
