Old Book Teardown Videos
The old book teardown is a regular feature of the main show which airs on @InTheLabWithJayJay.
In the old book teardown videos we take a close look at an old electronics book, or some other book of interest. To count as old the book needs to have been published before the year 2000.

Statistics
Here are some stats about how long these videos usually play for.
The durations are given as hours:minutes:seconds.
Note: when there is more than one value for the median the longest value is given. The average is the arithmetic mean and the standard deviation is the population standard deviation.
You can get stats for all of my videos on the stats page.
