Electronics videos and DVDs
The Technical Manager
in PAL format ? They are intended to be shown to a teenage audience so
they must be moderately advanced.
I have some electronics videos from the 1970s that were intended to be
shown in secondary schools but apart from the one on electromagnetism
with the Ford Capri starter motor they are just too out of date and the
quality isn't good as they were copied from cine film. I have a feeling
there were no educational videos on electronics for secondary school use
created in the 1990s but RS Components used to have series for
industrial training selling at £100 each. Has anyone seen them, if so
what do you think ?

I don't know if this place is still around, but the tapes seem to
cover stuff pretty well. I bought them in 1999 off the internet. The
cost was something like $40 US (I think).
Don't know if they offered them in PAL though.

Could you describe their contents in detail.

Probably not.

Well, the titles are as follows:
Beginner Preparation
AC Circuits
DC Circuits
Oscillators
Amplifiers
Electronic Circuits
Power Supply
Radio Electronics
Television Electronics
Video Recorders
I haven't watched all of them, I actually got them to use as a
refresher course but I never got around to all of them.
What they seem to do is to show a schematic of say an amplifier,
explain just what it is, explain what every components purpose is, and
then follow the signal path through the circuit twice. The
presentation is a little dry, but very informative.
However, I just tried a Google search and didn't find anything on
these, so it may be that the company is no longer around.
I did find another source of tapes. Heathkit, believe it or not.

Don't know about PAL, though.
