Interesting videos. That funny fellow has a big following on Youtube..

I noticed that some of the thermistors were clipped onto the copper lines,
while others used a brazed-on tube, which held a thermistor that clipped onto it.

I wonder why they don't just use clips or clamps to mount sensors?
Maybe it doesn't cost them much, when robots are doing the brazing.?.

Under one of those sensor 'tubes' was where my first Sanyo leak occurred..

Have to say, I'm not a fan of the sensor tube.. Seems like one more thing to go wrong.
