  • I have an old Wah Pedal for an electric guitar with a notable static sound when used. Luckily fixing that is pretty easy.

    Remember your channel is RetroRepairs and not RetroGameRepairs. The "WAH" is hardly heard in modern music. That is a classic sound dating back to the 70s.

    Hey Adam! So you are a guitarist as well? Neat!
    Before I went into classic video games I liked to dig in guitars as well. Still have dozens of them. A full rack of acoustic guitars, and bunch of electric/bass ones.

    There's a tool that I've used on planes, houses, circuit boards, businesses, you name it. It's the most handy thing and I've always called it a "scribe" but I've heard "scriber." They come in a few variations and kind of look the a tool a dentist would use. Would have used it with the tabs potentiometer. And it cost me only a few US$.

    I always thought you looked like you're in a rock band. You remind me a little of Adam Gontier, former lead singer of Three Days Grace. I love their early work with Adam. The band is from Canada by the way! 🔥

    Maintenance is also a very important part of keeping you things working. So if you feel like filming yourself while doing that, you can already count my view as soon as I find out the video is out. I'll also say go for it if you want to repair things that aren't necessarily related to video games. I really enjoy your video games related videos, but that appreciation shouldn't limit you to only that type of repairs. As long as you're having a good time doing the video and repair, I have no doubt that the video will be interesting :)
