I've been watching your vids for a while now and they inspired me to get into electronics repair. I've actually gotten quite handy with this sort of thing and it's a really fun hobby. So, thanks!
I just took apart and cleaned a disgustingly filthy GBA and restored it back to working order, and I owe it all to this video. Thanks a bunch for a the wisdom!
Fascinating find, Martin! I enjoyed the sleuthing and reporting you did on the origins of the piece, especially after seeing that start/select molding hidden away inside the controller. Wonderful tip, too, on the bit with cleaning off the membranes using a scrap of parchment. I'm grateful you shared that! It's a testament to the quality and pride of craftsmanship in that era that with a little bit of TLC (and WD-40), the controller so easily breathed life again. Keep up the fine artisanship, and bless us with another video sometime soon! :)
man where was this when I needed an auto-fire pad for Astro Warrior?! And so that WAS what happened, they just recycled the design for a HORI Famicom controller but for the SMS/SG 3000. I thought something was up when they hid the slots for start/select under the plastic like that...
Just wanted to give you compliments on your videos. In particular, I enjoy the repair videos. Originally came across your channel because I was looking at installing a Region Free BIOS in a Saturn, which then spiraled into watching your various eBay repairs. Very fun and interesting to watch. I love to tinker with stuff, including repairing and cleaning my consoles and controllers, and you inspired and instilled me with enough motivation that I went and ordered some broken stuff off eBay (for what I hope is a deal lol) and am excited by the challenge of fixing them. Most of my own hardware is in great shape as I typically get all my hardware new when they come out and have taken pretty good care of them, so I had to resort to finding other peoples broken stuff! Thanks again. It's a shame you don't do more videos ;)
Thanks! It's really cool to hear when someone has got something useful out of these vids :) Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. It means a lot! I wish I had more time to make vids :P
Excellent repair video, I have learnt a lot. I am now very tempted and pretty confident to clean all my retro pads. I know how to solder too so if I have an accident..... :-S. Going to look up videos for specific consoles so I know to watch out for tricky components. Awesome and thanks.
Loving your videos! I've been watching them for the last hour or two. Just subscribed as your 40k sub! Congrats! Looking forward to watching more of your problem solving repair/refurbish videos! :)
Any chance on making any more videos any time soon? I totally understand though if things are going on in other aspects in life that take priority though, just miss seeing your vids regularly is all.
I was curious about how to refurbish those rubber pads. I had tried using rubbing alcohol and q-tips in the past but it didn't work very well. I'll try the paper method next time I disassemble a wonky controller.
Nice find and great refurb work! I just finished bringing a Master System back from the dead, so this is relevant to my interests! :) It's a shame that the SEGA/Hori SG Commander controllers aren't more common.
That controller was made by Hori 4:43, a big producer of high end Fighting sticks and Fight pads. or the nes one was recycled products are always neat.
+BioLink Yeah, willing to bet they use the same board for NES controllers. This one was just blanked out the Start and Select and uses a different chip.
They did back then, too. By the looks of it they probably made the same controller for a lot of systems, as evidenced by the Famicom/PC engine style Start and Select/Select and run button holes on the backside of the shell, and indeed a little big of googling reveals a PC Engine "Commander" pad that looks very much like this.
It does look very NESsy, and the color of the buttons and D-pad reminds my of the Famicom. What I find most interesting is that there are not only the unpopulated holes on the front hidden by the label, you can see that often on TV remotes, since they use the same mold for different units, and it is not worth it to redesign the mold, but matching contacts on the PCB with no traces leading to them! So they took the effort to remove the traces from the design but not the contacts!?
I'm at the point where I've now forgotten what parts where for what system/project and what the original problem even was! Work has been crazy for me over the last few months so hobbies like TH-cam and fixing things (except my stupid car!) have taken a backseat. I can't even remember the last time I fired up the soldering iron. Hope things are going well with you and you got your flood situation sorted.
RetroGameTech I have misplaced parts for one or two. Work and family matters haven't much time for my hobbies either. Things are going. Looks like my insurance company is trying to back out now that they realize the extent of the monetary damage.
Looked great after you had finished. But imagine how it would have looked, and smelled, if the original owner was a smoker. I'm generally lucky when buying used stuff, but I once got a DVD where the white cover had yellowed and it just stunk. Kept the disc and had to just bin the rest.

WD-40 stands for Water-Displacement (Formula) #40. If anything, it would help the plastic and PCB by keeping moisture off it. The only downside is that it would make it a tad bit more flammable, but if your console/controller is on fire, I think you have bigger problems than how it's going to look.
What's weird is that there were button contacts on the pcb for start and select, but they weren't wired up. If they had bought surplus boards from the famicom controller manufacturer, the contacts would be wired to something. So the boards were obviously made specifically for the master system, yet still included hardware for the start and select. I'm really curious at why this is the case.
WD40 is fine to use also 3 in 1 oil (bicycle oil) works also, the only thing to note is WD40 will mess with some adhesives / glues so can lead to labels lifting(not all but some) cool controller, I assume Hori made it for SEGA as a licensed product, and probably made a similar one for the NES / Famicom hence the start/select spaces
6:25 That is actually a third party controller for the Famicom made by Hudson soft I guess Sega just brought a boat load of them so they're limited that's why they're rare if you look they still have the same buttons on them.
Sega licensed out a lot of their controllers (like the 6 button UK megadrive controllers) this master system controller is obviously made by Hori, and shares a mold with a NES controller. Interesting though, as that dpad was copyrighted by Nintendo at the time.
Dude thank you for this video . i purchased one of these today at a carboot sale just outside of Liverpool for 50 pence. i didnt recognise it apart from the Sega , and as a collector i thought "ooooo official and unrecognisable". i am gonna clean her up and stick her in my collection. Cool video i have now subscribed :)
Cool controller I'd like to find one to go with my master system stuff and for cleaning old controllers and consoles I usually clean them with with windex on the plastic buttons and shells and then shine the plastic with pledge makes them look new again
I love your videos man :D Please do more refurbish stuff ! You are definitely a pro and know your way around hardware, I recently got a GameBoy Advance SP AGS 101 cheaply from ebay and its carcass is pretty beat so I decided to move it into a new one :) and some of your vids gave me great inspiration, thanks !
RetroGameTech thanks man :D it truly is harder to find them in europe :( even some of the GBA games are so expensive here, best deals I got were over germany and the netherlands and some UK sellers on Ebay were very nice and friendly ! If you like check my unboxing of the very rare Resident Evil Power VR PC version which I paid like 80 Euro I think but hot damn that version is rare I have looked for 5 years for it :D check it out its the only unboxing of it on youtube :D
Use Meguiars dash and trim restorer for sega stuff (glossy surface) or scratch X for ps1, nes, snes (Couse or ruff surface) Don't use water dispersant (WD-40) you might as well be using silicone spray or shampoo Just a suggestion I really like the controller and video, that A,B thing was really interesting
Hope you kept that pad if you liked it. Just checked ebay and running over $80 used ! In the UK maybe a bit more reasonable but on the US site just ridiculous! For some one looking for a more comfortable controller for your Master system than the standard rectangular thing however like me you can't afford this nice looking pad there is a great option out there. Sega has you covered the Genesis/Megadrive pads work on the machine.
Yeah, i always found WD40 too greasy & more attractive to dust, especially on controllers. Furniture polish does a good job & has the bonus of being anti-static.
I hear there are two different WD-40. One is used as an electronics cleaner, the other as a water repellent. The water repellent is a paint thinner and as such can melt plastic a little and loosen labels. The electronics cleaner is used for metal on metal cleaning (like the pins on a cartridge). I've stayed away from the stuff as anything that "shines" things up permanently is really just melting the top layer of the plastic and that's why it's shiny. Some plastic isn't supposed to have a shine and wasn't shiny originally (like the texture of an SNES controller). I think in order to properly clean things you need to do a little research into what the original texture of the plastic was so that can determine your course of action to use WD-40 or not. For the dull or texturized plastic on some consoles I just use isopropyl alcohol to just clean the dirt off of and leave it to air dry.
we had console like that back in 80's had few games. motorbike game that kept loopin over and over, some submarine game where you dropped depthmines , and something like froggy game aswell. was guite erm,,, anemic compared to nes that i had aswell at sametime.
Excellent video, and a cool controller! I don't like the original Master System controllers that much, but they are required for a few games. I didn't know that you could use alcohol on a circuit board.
That's what I was wondering cuz I just took apart my Master System controller to clean it and didn't touch the circuit board with alcohol cuz I just didn't know
Ron Lopez rubbing alcohol with a high solution percentage is what most professionals use to clean electronics. Does no harm to them and dries fairly quickly.
justfadingaway thanks. I'm actually lookin at it right now and it is filthy. Highest I got is 70% alcohol. Would it be worth it to seek out a higher percentage?
I'm sure you noticed, but the contacts for the Start and Select buttons are on the board. It seems that SEGA exactly copied the design, and didn't even take out the unused contacts on the board.
I like your WD40 method and I tried it on a Mega Drive pad and it gave a nice shine but have you considered using a proper antistatic polish? WD40 will leave a minor residue that will collect dust over time. I use the off the shelf stuff made by Pledge and it works beautifully and gives a really nice lustre to the plastic.
Great video very helpful, I have a mega drive controller when its plugged in it wont go left but if I pull it out a bit so its barely plugged in it works, if there any way to fix this (it does it on both my consoles) thank you very much, love your videos and hope you make more.
i have one of these, had no idea it was rare, might do the same to mine and put it up on eBay :D, i always preferred the normal controller anyway myself
You might want to try a product like Pledge instead of WD40. WD40 is primarily a lubricant and penetrating oil which can damage stickers and labels. I use Pledge in the exact same way as WD40 was used in this video but with better results.
Awesome video bro,looks sick.I have been watching alot of your videos lately and since you buy almost everything from ebay,I would like to ask some advice on buying a used ps3 console(finding a bargain) since the ps4 came out,I thought that this would be a great period of buying its predecessor,I would gladly appreciate any comments,thanks in advance!

I just took apart and cleaned a disgustingly filthy GBA and restored it back to working order, and I owe it all to this video. Thanks a bunch for a the wisdom!
It's made by Hori then!!! Interesting, they make all the third party controllers for Nintendo now.
I read everything you post in your voice. Get out of my head.

You watch every video I comment on
I have got a HORI Turbo Controller called a Commander for my SNES! :) Quite a RARE controller, dont see many of them around.

Yeah Larry's commenting everywhere. Even on the obscure eastern European ZXspectrum games channel.

Fascinating find, Martin! I enjoyed the sleuthing and reporting you did on the origins of the piece, especially after seeing that start/select molding hidden away inside the controller. Wonderful tip, too, on the bit with cleaning off the membranes using a scrap of parchment. I'm grateful you shared that!
It's a testament to the quality and pride of craftsmanship in that era that with a little bit of TLC (and WD-40), the controller so easily breathed life again. Keep up the fine artisanship, and bless us with another video sometime soon! :)
man where was this when I needed an auto-fire pad for Astro Warrior?!
And so that WAS what happened, they just recycled the design for a HORI Famicom controller but for the SMS/SG 3000. I thought something was up when they hid the slots for start/select under the plastic like that...
M8. Your awesome at repairing/refurbishing stuff. Very impressive. I love the Scottish. Keep up the good work!
Everytime I watch your videos, whether they be new or old, I always learn something. Thanks for the contact pad on the paper tip!
I am always delighted to see new repair videos from you :)
He is back!!! :) awesome video Martin! Missed your repair videos!
Cheers, buddy! :)
Always enjoy these videos. Keep up the great work. Hope to see more soon.
Thanks for continuing to watch!
You inspired my friend and I to pick up a broken genesis and attempt to fix it. We managed to get it working :) Love your videos!

Love the videos retro... I'm quite the electronics geek myself... Just wish I had more time to do projects like this.. Keep the vids coming. Thanks.
Great find, it cleaned up really nicely!
great video man love watching ur refurb videos
Very nice find. Interesting controller design.
Great video buddy that controller was a really good find.
That's a beautiful controller. Must be a dream to play with. Never liked the original master system d-pad, so this is excellent. Great find!
Cheers. If you've ever used a NES controller then it pretty much feels the same as that.
great video! i love your ebay junk videos, it makes me wanna start buying stuff off ebay to fix.
Thanks! do it! haha
That's amazing I had one for my master system as a kid, had no idea it was also made for the Famicom.
Great video and channel, this is my 3rd video I've seen and I just subbed. Cheers!

I had one of these 30 years ago. Thanks for reminding me! :)
*SEGA's Nintendo controller!* ⭐️
Some great tips for cleaning, nice to see another video. Always love the rare sega stuff :-)
You can't beat a bit of obscure SEGA tech :)
RetroGameTech Sega had some very interesting accessories. That makes Sega all the more awesome!
I was curious about how to refurbish those rubber pads. I had tried using rubbing alcohol and q-tips in the past but it didn't work very well. I'll try the paper method next time I disassemble a wonky controller.

Thanks lad I love looking at you videos really good and learn alot
Whoa! I had no idea Hori had been in the controller game this long! I have a really nice fight stick made by them!
That controller was made by Hori 4:43, a big producer of high end Fighting sticks and Fight pads. or the nes one was recycled products are always neat.

you are saver for my psp, your method with paper really work!
Excellent project as always!
Thanks, dude! :)
Glad your making videos again. Keep it up!
I never stopped! :P
So happy when I see a new video from you! Collection update anytime soon??
Thanks! :)
I'm always trying to find the time to make a pickup and collection vid. Hopefully soon!
When are you coming back to uploading videos, I loved all these eBay junk and fixing videos
I have more half-completed projects than I can count at the moment.
I thought I had seen that design somewhere before.
I'm at the point where I've now forgotten what parts where for what system/project and what the original problem even was! Work has been crazy for me over the last few months so hobbies like TH-cam and fixing things (except my stupid car!) have taken a backseat.

Great refurb job and very interesting. When will someone invent a magnetic ice cube tray :)
Wow, I think you just did! That would be awesome!

Man, I love your Scottish accent :) Been to Edinburgh this summer. Really nice countryside in the Highlands
I need to get one of them! Nice video!
LOL this video comes up on my watch again all the time, taunting me with the controller I would love to have :P
WD40 is fine to use also 3 in 1 oil (bicycle oil) works also, the only thing to note is WD40 will mess with some adhesives / glues so can lead to labels lifting(not all but some) cool controller, I assume Hori made it for SEGA as a licensed product, and probably made a similar one for the NES / Famicom hence the start/select spaces

It'd be cool if this was just a really well done modification of a Hori NES controller. A 'make my Nintendo controller a Sega controller' mod.
It would explain the start and select button housing.
another great vid Victor Frankenstein of gaming
never seen one of those controllers before, weird
Love your repair vids!
Thanks for watching them! :)
Dude! Glad to see another video!
That's a pretty cool looking controller. I've never seen one like it. Hori is top tier controllers.
Sega licensed out a lot of their controllers (like the 6 button UK megadrive controllers) this master system controller is obviously made by Hori, and shares a mold with a NES controller. Interesting though, as that dpad was copyrighted by Nintendo at the time.
This is so satisfying to watch.

Do you forward through reassembly every video? I'm look forward to that part the most
I forget how old HORI is, wasn't expecting to see HORI printed on the pcb.
I love your videos man :D Please do more refurbish stuff !

That really looks like the plastic mouldings were planned for the NES originally!
Pledge works better for getting plastic to shine. It dries faster, smells better, and works better.
I prefer WD40. I can't stand the smell of pledge. :P
RetroGameTech When are you coming back?
What kind of pledge do you use?
I cleaned a controller with paint thinner from my model paint set (all I had on hand at the time) and it works like the WD40.
Use Meguiars dash and trim restorer for sega stuff (glossy surface) or scratch X for ps1, nes, snes (Couse or ruff surface)
Don't use water dispersant (WD-40) you might as well be using silicone spray or shampoo
Just a suggestion
I really like the controller and video, that A,B thing was really interesting
That D-pad had some real gunk.
Hope you kept that pad if you liked it. Just checked ebay and running over $80 used !
In the UK maybe a bit more reasonable but on the US site just ridiculous! For some one looking for a more comfortable controller for your Master system than the standard rectangular thing however like me you can't afford this nice looking pad there is a great option out there.
Sega has you covered the Genesis/Megadrive pads work on the machine.
I miss you Videos, hope to see new stuff :)
Greetings from germany
You make some great videos, really enjoying your content. I hope you come back to your channel soon.
Fantastic! But I'd be very apprehensive when rubbing the button contacts on the paper.
It's perfectly fine. I've been doing my refurbs like this for years. Just don't use much force.
Surely this would have been produced by Hori (not Sega) under licence?
Have you ever used superfine grit sandpaper, like 1200 or so, to clean those membrane contacts?
Yeah, i always found WD40 too greasy & more attractive to dust, especially on controllers. Furniture polish does a good job & has the bonus of being anti-static.
I usually use my ice cube tray but its full of...you know, ice cubes...and stuff.
I hear there are two different WD-40. One is used as an electronics cleaner, the other as a water repellent. The water repellent is a paint thinner and as such can melt plastic a little and loosen labels. The electronics cleaner is used for metal on metal cleaning (like the pins on a cartridge). I've stayed away from the stuff as anything that "shines" things up permanently is really just melting the top layer of the plastic and that's why it's shiny. Some plastic isn't supposed to have a shine and wasn't shiny originally (like the texture of an SNES controller). I think in order to properly clean things you need to do a little research into what the original texture of the plastic was so that can determine your course of action to use WD-40 or not. For the dull or texturized plastic on some consoles I just use isopropyl alcohol to just clean the dirt off of and leave it to air dry.
Another great video keep it up!
cheers!
we had console like that back in 80's had few games. motorbike game that kept loopin over and over, some submarine game where you dropped depthmines , and something like froggy game aswell. was guite erm,,, anemic compared to nes that i had aswell at sametime.
There is a version of that controller for an Nintendo NES. It uses the same shell and board so that's why they are the same.
+Jason Rowland (JasonsPlayHouse) Systemboard also shows Hori, so they probably made controllers under official sega and Nintendo License.
Excellent video, and a cool controller! I don't like the original Master System controllers that much, but they are required for a few games. I didn't know that you could use alcohol on a circuit board.
That's what I was wondering cuz I just took apart my Master System controller to clean it and didn't touch the circuit board with alcohol cuz I just didn't know
Ron Lopez rubbing alcohol with a high solution percentage is what most professionals use to clean electronics. Does no harm to them and dries fairly quickly.
justfadingaway thanks. I'm actually lookin at it right now and it is filthy. Highest I got is 70% alcohol. Would it be worth it to seek out a higher percentage?
if you can yes, but 70% should be fine. Just might have to go over it a few times to make sure you have cleaned everything off.
Looks like a bit of a hidden treasure.
I'm sure you noticed, but the contacts for the Start and Select buttons are on the board. It seems that SEGA exactly copied the design, and didn't even take out the unused contacts on the board.
Awesome vid man, was wondering where ya went

You might want to try a product like Pledge instead of WD40. WD40 is primarily a lubricant and penetrating oil which can damage stickers and labels. I use Pledge in the exact same way as WD40 was used in this video but with better results.
I have that same pad, but its for the Famicom.
The Shell and D-Pad/Buttons are from the Hori Commander Famicom Controller (even looks like the PCB is too) i.imgur.com/65h8PEZ.jpg
I have missed your videos!
Thanks for sticking around and supporting the channel! Much appreciated!
Awesome video bro,looks sick.I have been watching alot of your videos lately and since you buy almost everything from ebay,I would like to ask some advice on buying a used ps3 console(finding a bargain) since the ps4 came out,I thought that this would be a great period of buying its predecessor,I would gladly appreciate any comments,thanks in advance!
Well done. Very nice that.
Cheers!
great find!
