Beyond military relics, the hobbyist's work extends into personal projects. He discusses repurposing or fixing damaged electrical equipment, including an old telescope gunsight he restored previously. He also mentions working on a cable that was cut, planning to integrate diodes and heavy-duty components to restore functionality—a testament to his adaptive problem-solving skills.
