Great channel. Loving the oldskool vibe, and Ron is a quirky character, too. So much knowledge of a dying art.

John Dobson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobsonian_telescope
There are some youtube videos of him teaching how to grind and polish your own telescope lenses (mirrors). Inspiring.

Not too much to "watch" but look up Tatjana van Vark. She must have worked for Marconi or one of the big European defense electronics contractors in the 1960's or so. Who ELSE would have the entire electronic suite out of a Vulcan bomber in her DINING ROOM?
There is a video of her running a Litton inertial platform and making it recover from a gimbal lock. There's a panel with dozens of gears that does some kind of mechanical computation that is quite cool.
Lots of crazy stuff there!
