Tek 547 with 1A1 dual trace plugin. And right before that, an OK lab power supply lying on its side. So funny that he recognized the Futura font immediately. |

I was a little disappointed they didn't spend more time looking closely at the control room, just a little more zoom on the meters would of been good. But for an urbex I think its pretty good, they walk around and pan slowly & pause on interesting scenes. They are more interested in the explore and the photogenic aesthetic rather than the tech tour. Dave needs to do a 'Flying tare-down video' in a place like this ;) A few things I found interesting -> Large motor under plastic wrap at 1:50 (kept as a spare but too expensive to remove maybe) Interesting rotary switch at 2:10 (does it step or spin ?) Blue prints at 9:05 (used for locating usable / valuable parts during the decommissioning ?) Turbine hall at 10:30 (narration says it looks like a lot of stuff has been ripped out, also 1920's vintage meters) Scrapped generator set at 11:40 Frankenstein power board at 13:00 Parts store room at 13:30 Lab PSU at 14:15 Tek 547 Scope at 14:20 (SN:005029, I bet it would still power up with a trace) EICO 460 scope at 14:45 Control room 15:10 8) 2nd control room 19:00 If you found that interesting then have a look at this slightly mislabeled video-> Repair workshop at 37:50 Control room at 39:20 |

Ha ha, amateurs. Do not even know how to walk silently on catwalks and steel stairs. Great place though. Amusing seeing them fail to recognize an old hard disk removable platter stack. Right at the end of the control room segment. |

Cut the youngsters a break, old man. ^-^ |
