Electronic solder is actually a hollow wire that is filled with flux that when heated by the molten solder, helps clean the surfaces to be soldered together, and which appears to be most of the ‘corrosion’ seen when the board was turned over. This leftover flux is supposed to be inert under normal conditions (and the reason it is not often cleaned off after hand soldering operations), but over time it does absorb moisture and other contaminants, so cleaning it off is still a good idea. When I have several such leads to clean off, I will sometimes soak a small piece of cloth in isopropyl alcohol, lay it over the top of the connections to be cleaned, then use an old toothbrush to scrub the pins through the cloth.
One of the many things I love about your videos is the camera angles and the close ups, they look so crisp and clean! Also, absolutely love the new merch!

"Come my children, gather round, let us place the Sega Saturn controller in the blazing hot sun, in its box filled with pure oxygen, and smoke through our cartons of cigarettes." - The people that have consoles THIS yellowed.
About the second retrobroghting: You could have used the same material you used to "glue" the bolts to the plastic to "hide" the electronics and instead of using hydrogen peroxide use a hair saloon gel containing h2o2. This could have preserved the electronics and save time :)
Love the content! Maybe for parts like the plug on the controller that can’t be submerged in a liquid agent you can try applying a peroxide cream such as Salon Care 40 to expedite the process. I use it on my sneakers along with UV light to whiten my soles since I can’t use the liquid mixture.
As a Sega nerd this makes me so sad to see a Saturn like this, but also happy to see it restored. Have you ever restored a Mega Drive? Or would they be uh, *too* old by now?
Love this 2 part Sega Saturn and controller restoration. As for Virtua Fighter 2... may I suggest using Jacky or Sarah? They are better for button mashing. Akira is the most difficult to use and master. Now play Guardian Heroes ;)
I have seen 1000's of men attempt this and it all ended the same... With failure. Only one man can actually do this because he has a secret weapon... What is that you ask? A Ducktor.
Great video, I really love to see the process you use, especially removing the yellowing!! Wow, the lady fighter at the very end opened up a whole 12 pack of whoop-ass on you!!
Don't tell me you're gonna sell it later... For the unitiated: the retrobright method is only good for a few months, after that it's gonna return to it's original yellowy state.
Love your work! In regards to plastic yellowing... I use a gel/paste hydrogen peroxide, used for hair application. I wrap In clear plastic and leave it in the sun. Its just quicker than waiting a week.
First of all, great job as always! Second, I wanted to say thanks for showing how to get rid of the yellowing. I have sleep apnea so use a nasal frame air mask. After many months of use, the silicone (if that's what it is) frame of the mask had started to yellow. But from watching these videos, I knew just how to get rid of it!
Great restoration! You inspired me to get hydrogen peroxide. Now i just need to get some UV-lightning and then my old Amiga 500 will be brighter than ever! Thank you!
It may be kind of sad, but am I the only one who becomes irrationally happy when a new odd video pops up? Living proof that one can teach, and entertain without a word.
Yo dude some of these fake restoration channels have just been BLOWING UP lately. They wreck perfect usable game systems, rub mud all over them and hide it on the side of the road to make it look like they found it and restore it afterwards, but they always record themselves restoring it FIRST. There’s plenty of dead giveaways in their videos that confirm they’re fake, they’re not too hard to find. Just glad channels like _yours_ are the real deal.

but he is an essential component of the cleaning process
He takes his job very seriously. He's no quack
The Ducktor is absolutely vital to the initial cleaning process. Without him, none of these electronics would even be functional. Pay respects.

Liquid ice and watery soap the best cleaning combo!
You're not the only one who thought that.
literally had to check the comments to make sure other people did the same thing as me
Lmao yup I almost looked it up!

Eyy You Actually restored the Controller
He always do
You do amazing work. Keep it up. I love the people in this world that do restorations. They never let old school products die.
Random button clicking twice in a row!!! I waited so long for this! :D

That was one of the most satisfying de-yellowings I’ve watched so far 🤤 I love this channel

The saturn in white is very pretty and ellegant
So much yellow on that controller. Is it just from normal wear and tear?
I'm binging all your videos...they are really very satisfying.
