Sanitize Regularly
This video was a response to a comment to another video which made me realize that many people probably don't regularly sanitize many items in their households - and Biomeds need to sanitize their tools on occasion.

Vendor Credentials Suck.
Просмотров 2847 часов назад
Vendor credentials (in my opinion) should be a government activity vs a private company making a cash grab. Normally, I'm pro smaller government, but when we're talking background checks and compliance to receive government money, the government should be the credentialing authority.

Bulb Technology

Light bulb technology has jumped by leaps over these past 20 years. Incandescent, fluorescent (CFLs), Halogen, Xenon Arc, and finally, LEDs have changed our lives.

Market Value vs Repairability of Medical Equipment
never knew this store would be so near me n i overlooked it throughout the years!!! its just 2 miles away!!!
In my experience in healthcare, clinical managers see about a week ahead. 2 weeks tops when it’s JAHCO time.
thank you that was priceless
the way you get upset is funny (I don't mean it in a bad way it is just wholesome to see people getting upset on genuine things that touches other people's safety)
@aymenninja8120 Yeah... Since these videos are not scripted, the reaction is unintentional. I'm reflecting on past experiences..
@@BetterBiomedChannel yes I can see it is not intentional, that is exactly what makes it wholesome.
Items that gets contaminated in our line of work are tools. When I was in field service I would always use sanitizer wipes to clean them before putting them in the toolbox.
@abelardonarvaez2 Exactly. Especially items like thermocouple probes
On another note. Have you experienced interference on a Storz tower through the camera when high power diathermy or high power laser was used? I thought it was low quality coax cable. Better quality coaxial didn't make any difference.

@BetterBiomedChannel This happened when we used the Werewolf rf20000 and cyber ho 150 ultra high power laser. So what you saying it isn't cabling or earthing issues. It's the camera. We changed the camera on the Storz tower from 60Hz to 50 Hz, and that helped for one day, and the interference is back.

Nostalgic Ear & Eye Candy. WOW, if the tour wasn't enough the ASMR value of the background soundtrack was awesome.
@@GUNMETALGUYUSA I have 2 other videos exploring this store since this was recorded. Tours!: ruclips.net/p/PL5CYegjtMCQ7wt_EbK15meuYDhAtvlmUO
@@BetterBiomedChannel thank you for heads up. I will check them out 💯👍🏽
My wife won't go in there with me because I throw tantrum like a child in a toy store when she wants to leave.
It’s for those annoying sales reps that won’t go away…
I avoid it when possible
Also pretty annoying are undocumented Interfaces, like some sort of ancient Telnet management interface.
Pay us 500 dollars per tech annually to get entrance Into a facility with all these "requirements" that exceed a secret clearance in the military. Whelp guess ima ask for that special "one day pass" lol
Cut the wire in half, it will still give you green checkmarks
Awesome place, but looks like a fire hazard and not wheel chair accessible.
Good job on restoring and saving an older fan! Pretty smart of you to save money and do that, wish more people thought that way instead of mindlessly trashing them.
We used to have something like that here in Arlington, Tx. It was called electronic discount sales. You could buy anything there
looks like my bedroom when i was 14
I'm here today Sep 2nd after see your video but they closed labor day😢 this store are heavenly place for guy like me
Love this place!! Sometimes the algorithm works great and sends cool things my way! There is another place in NW Houston called Altex. Tons of parts also just minus the vintage stuff.
Been going to EPO for 20 years. Crazy thing is, they have different stuff every time i go, and or the store is a different layout. lol Always seem to have what im looking for no matter how odd
OMG I live in Michigan but after seeing the first isle I'm going here!!! I Know I'm going to be in heaven. Thanks for this video!!!!!!
@@LordRa777 I'm from a small town called Fowlerville off I96
@@BetterBiomedChannel I've been through there a couple times. Back when there was an Olsen I used to go there all the time can't find anything like that here are there is another store in Westland Michigan that used to have stuff like that not as big though.
Waiting for my shipping so I can finish my taxes
Reminds me of Skycraft in Orlando.
@@audguy Everyone has been telling me about this!! I need to fly and check it out!!
el soundtrack, la señora hablando español de fondo, el estilo vintage simplemente increible, me encanta este video, i love this video, pls pls make more
So I have an old fleet wood 12 ef … it worked when I tested it and I cut a half of stick of pepperoni through it.. when I got home I took off the blade/guard, and sharpening mechanism and now when I try to turn it on nothing happens. Where would you start?
@@shaneboyd8788 Always check the fuse and power switch
Disregard… I had the pin for the blade to tight.. soon as I loosened up that back pin it turned on 🤦♂️
Your channel is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!
@@nono-wp2xs Thanks
must put them on the map... keep them going
It has been a long time since I have visited the EPO Fondren location. EPO use to have another location near Willowbrook Mall but, sadly, it closed.
I haven't been to EPO in something like 20 years. Time for me to go check it out again!
usually pisses me off when people ask for likes and subs but after an hour and 3 mins of some of my favorite content on you tube recently I had to fold. Looking forward to next upload!
Used to go here when I was a kid. Up top there was a model train set that would circle around the whole place which was cool to see. Dunno if it is still there but they stopped rolling it around ages ago. You might see the track still though.
Place also has been around for ages. Hasn't changed since the 90s.
USB connector appeared to be connected, it popped off when you separated the front panel.
Love you Ruby!!!! ❤
Can we even order parts for these units?
@Haydenwoodify There are a couple companies that fix these light sources
Seen on your monitor in the background RPI website. I remember getting their Faxes. 25 years ago. with sales and new products, they were selling. to all you youngling's out there it was a big thermal printer just like the receipts from a cash register but a lot worse.
Is there to be a part 3, to find the source of the short?
@@MrDoneboy The IEC Input module was wired incorrectly.
@@BetterBiomedChannel Ok, Human Error should always be accounted for!
Paused to read the Shoplifting Sign, ....we are doing everything to hang on ... this was very sad to read. What a store. I could spend weeks inside just looking over all this stuff. I sure would not leave without buying something. Shoplifting from a store like this ... triple shame on you.
There used to be an EPO over in Clearlake area. They shut it down probably 10 years ago now. But I used to go in there all the time. I absolutely loved it. It always reminded me of Doc's workshop from Back to the Future! I will definitely have to go stop by here!
Great video! Thanks, Justin.
Great place! Been going there since I started my EE degree. Probably nearly 20 years now... Wow does time fly. I'm just happy we have 2 good electronic stores in Houston. ACE Electronics is the other, but it isn't as fun as EPO.

You and me are on the same page with this. These CEU credits are for technicians to recertify their certification. A professional standardized credential right?? Not as an opportunity to force technicians to watch an advertisement from vendors. Make CEU credits educationally beneficial to the Biomeds.
ADORE EPO! It is my personal heaven! - Johnny
educational sources should be either free or tiny price tag then. Most of us cannot afford to attend a class or legitimate CE source.. The pay to play concept can be looked at in reverse as well. Just sayin...
EPO is still around! I went there back in the 00s and spent way too much time shopping.
