BINA-VIEW II: The Repair!
Added 2020-04-05 17:15:53 +0000 UTCI said I wasn't going to try to fix this BINA-VIEW but hey... I'm on lockdown and very stir-crazy so I just went for it. Enjoy!

Ok, So who's going to design the 3D printed version?
2020-04-07 15:13:40 +0000 UTCI actually spent about 4 hours working on it, and went through a lot of stuff that went nowhere which I left out of the video - so yea, when it finally worked it was quite a relief.

2020-04-06 15:38:11 +0000 UTCI hope not the 'actual' peak - but thanks!

2020-04-06 15:36:59 +0000 UTCI'm sure that 3D printing fans will be making up templates for larger versions of this as we speak...

2020-04-06 15:36:22 +0000 UTCVery cool, you fixed it! Restored a bit of history.
2020-04-06 14:49:29 +0000 UTCFantastic, well done Fran, I bet that gave you a great sense of satisfaction. Worth voiding the warranty for ! :-D

2020-04-06 09:23:25 +0000 UTCI was hoping you would look at trying to repair it, interested to see how it goes. Stay safe and don't go crazy. I am managing to stay sane with help from my medication.

2020-04-06 02:10:20 +0000 UTCI can see why these didn't catch on.
2020-04-05 23:28:58 +0000 UTCThanks for doing the repair! I was quite excited to see this video. :)

2020-04-05 23:18:37 +0000 UTCPerhaps railway or airport arrival and departure displays???

2020-04-05 22:31:51 +0000 UTCIt makes me wonder what these were used in. Maybe early stock market or bank displays? Anywhere you would only need numbers, letters and a plus or minus symbol

2020-04-05 21:17:15 +0000 UTCSo glad you fixed it! I wonder if there's a way you could make a custom plate with your logo lol

2020-04-05 21:10:11 +0000 UTCIt's apparently possible to turn CdS photoresistors, invented in late 19th century, into primative FETs ... so it would be fascinating to imagine a what-if of that.

Fran Blanche
2020-04-05 20:04:52 +0000 UTCIf you like!
Fran Blanche
2020-04-05 20:04:38 +0000 UTCTrue, it would have been possible to make the display 150 years ago, but what could have possibly driven it?
Fran Blanche
2020-04-05 20:04:28 +0000 UTCFran, you're an electro-mechanical genius! Thanks for giving in to your curiosity, and following through with the repair of the BINA-VIEW!
2020-04-05 19:54:40 +0000 UTCIs a teetertotter that moves the the other way a totterteeter?
2020-04-05 19:41:22 +0000 UTCSteampunk novels need to describe stuff using these kinds of display ... It's all tech which should be possible in the 19th century...

2020-04-05 19:41:20 +0000 UTCI knew the temptation would be too great to resist!

2020-04-05 18:51:44 +0000 UTCI could watch things like this all day, thank you Fran.

2020-04-05 17:53:23 +0000 UTCAh, awesome that you decided to repair it. I understood your decision not to do it, but secretly hoped you'd change your mind.
