WORKSHOP VIDEO #33: Singapore Koba Electronics preview

in Videos by Ian | 14 comments

The Singapore Global Geek Tour video isn’t finished yet, but here’s the complete first cut of the Koba Electronics visit. This little shop in China Town is off the beaten path, but our guide Kelvin arranged a visit.

We’ve been editing since landing 24 hours ago, but this trip was so epic the completed video will probably weigh in at 21 minutes and 45 seconds. That’s like a real TV show! The final video will be up tomorrow, promise.

    Nice vid.

    I wish I knew this place twelve years ago when I was in S’pore. I remember those bags hanging on the wall with all kind of stuff in it (at that time they were pirated copies of playstation 1 or windows programs, very cheap!) Damn!

  2. Awwww man! I thought it was going to be better when Ian got the lapel mic….

    But now I miss the shouting…

    This is great :) That shop reminds me of one here in Orlando, albeit not nearly as cram packed with components hanging from the walls. Skycraft is a cool shop, though. You should do an American tour as well. I don’t think we have places like that over here, though.

    I do like the new mic, though. It sounded great.

      Skycraft is awesome! I’m lucky that I live in Tampa so it’s only an hour away. I agree that there are definitely good places here in America too.

      BTW: go to Skycraft then find and get a bunch of the “GPS antennas” that are labeled at $3.50 each. They are actually full serial GPS modules (Albeit a little old). They look like radio speaker mics.

        No kidding, I’ll have to take my son there tomorrow and look for those. Thanks for the heads up!

      Thanks for the heads up. No, I’m sorry, but next time! Also there is an acrylic place we missed that would have been fun to visit.

    Hey, we have shops that sell o-rings and driver belts in Akihabara! How come you say this is the first time? When you come again, I’m taking you to those shops again so that yoou remember . :)

    Do these places in Singapore have websites so we can buy from them?
