Just so you know, the reason only the top half yellowed is that some plastics used in these machines were more susceptible to yellowing than others. They were molded in one place, then sent off to another for assembly, so machines frequently had a top from factory A (using a yellowing plastic) and a bottom from factory B (using a non-yellowing plastic). I've seen it the most with SNES/SFC units but it's true of a lot of electronics from the period.
@@MrSubjetivo Sunlight can do that to plastics if it's directly exposed to them for a long time if you're home has older windows, but many electronics from this period yellowed like this SNES because of the type of plastic they used in some batches. You can tell it's the plastic's fault because everywhere on that top shell is yellowed perfectly on all sides, including the inside where the sun can't get at. It's also ironic that the UV rays reacting with hydrogen peroxide and reverse the yellowing
@@finkamain1621 yeah, the top shell was definitely made from a completely different type of plastic than the rest. considering how little the rest of the shell parts were yellowed i assume this unit didnt even sit in sunlight and the topshelf might have yellowed on its own without even ambient UV.
No I’ve seen many of these types of the yellow all the whole bottom and top shelves were both the ones that are white and then yellow have been modified and have been changed with other parts from other units this is not an original unit this is been put together from different parts. This is not an original top and bottom shelf.
I never really understood ASMR until now. The soothing imagery of the restoration process and how gently it's carried out, combined with the lack of commentary leaving only room for the quiet sounds of bits and pieces being moved around have made this, and this channel, some of the most calming content I've observed thus far. Absolutely love it. Keep up the great work!
Crazy how after 25 years without playing Mario, he boots it up, and I can immediately hum along to the tune. The brain is fascinating. Excellent restoration ❤️ RIP Mr. Uemura.
To be fair, it could be that he has not spent 25 years without listening to Mario music. Rom hacks, speedruns etc. have gained quite some popularity. But yes, the Mario soundtrack is quite memorable and it's astonishing how much the brain can hold onto certain patterns.
After many years of not listening to Chronic 2001, I can still hearing Dre saying "...And when your console repair aint doin too good, who's the Ducktor they told ya to go see?" Or something like that
Super Mario World on the SNES was the first video game I ever played. This hit me in the feels 😭 I got so nostalgic as soon as you started messing with the buttons and stuff, listening to those sounds was like having recovered a memory. Love your whole channel!
The moment that he starts the snes and you hear the coin, took me 25 years back when i was just a kid in christmas, what an awesome video man, congrats!
I'm a Sega Genesis kid but Nintendo is my favourite now. I wish Sega was still in the console,or handheld market. I'm really enjoying watching these videos 🤟
I love watching these restoration videos from you. They're always so relaxing and it just amazes me how talented you are. You can make something work that hasn't worked in forever! And you're also able to restore an item's original color.
Restoring the colour is the easier thingy in the restoration process compared with making it work... Which depends on what it gets subjected to through its lifetime, yeah some will be easier to fix than the colour... But it's very rare
I never saw this channel before, but I was moved by this video. There was something very loving about this. Restoring something that would otherwise just go on a trash heap... into something that could provide a lot of joy to someone. I remember getting my SNES when I was 9 years old, late in 1992. I got years of fun out of that thing. Anyway, great job.
My cousin had an SNES when he was a kid. I would beg my parents to go over to his parents house so we could play the games he had. I never had the opportunity to own one, but I did get an N64 as my first game console back in Christmas 1997.
Omg finally I’ve been waiting for so long on this Some other consoles I would like to see restored is original Famicom and Atari 2600 Keep up the amazing work man
I remember stumbling upon this channel back in 2020 during my remote senior year and it being oddly satisfying to watch on breaks in between classes and when I had no work to do. Glad I found it again!
Somewhere between Huber Heights and Vandalia, Ohio, I used to drive by an electronics repair shop with that repairman Mario logo on their sign outside. They were licensed for Nintendo repair (maybe still are,) and it always felt surreal to see such a thing in the real world.
I've seen you make replacement labels for consoles before and was wondering what method you've found to make them the most realistic/original looking. Not sure if you've mentioned this before.
In a video, although I can't remember which one, he made an exact replica of the label in photoshop, and I assume just printed it to a sticker afterwards
Hey Odd Tinkering, I know you did this project a very long time ago now, but I thought I'd just say thank you for all your hard work and time you poured into this. Thanks to your deep dives and deconstructions like this, you helped me make it possible to restore my sister's old Super Nintendo that was damaged from UV and everything you undid. Thank you for being an inspiration and I look forward to each and every one of your projects as they come out
As much as I love this channel this is like seeing one of my childhood friends being eviscerated 😨😨 RIP Masayuki Uemura, he who created joy to millions of children globally o7
And yet another game console roars back to life! I don't think there's anything you and Ducktor can't revive. I never had the SuperNES, looks like it was fun too. Thanks for sharing another awesome video with us brother. God bless, and Happy Holidays! Rev. D.
Hi, as always, awesome restoration. I wanted to let you know that this was the first restoration channel that I followed. I immediately became an admirer of your work and wanted to learn. I am currently studying electronics, getting my equipment and practicing my skills. So, thanks for the inspiration c:
This is the North American version and this is the only version who looked like this. The rest of the world had the original Famicom design you had in the UK. The reason the US got a different design was because Nintendo of America thought the original design looked to much like a toy.
@@nameofthegame9664 It's the version we had in Brazil too, through Playtronic (Nintendo's Brazilian representative at the time). I particularly find it pretty nice-looking, even though it's basically a fancy box, lol.
@@nameofthegame9664 It's interesting to me that for the SNES, Europe got the Japanese design, whereas for the NES, you basically have the Famicom design for Japan and the NES design both for Europe and America. (Not sure what the case was for the rest of Asia.) Personally, I very much prefer the EU/JP design. It's just... *charming.* Plus, I mean, Nintendo has always focused mostly on child/family-friendly games, so "looking too much like a toy" does not really seem like much of a problem to me. It seems like an entirely fair design for a console from a studio whose biggest property is Super Mario.
@@thelordstarfish I also like the original design better. The blocky design of the North American SNES with its kinda funky purple color doesn’t exactly make it any less toy-ish. I also like the original controller with a different color for all four buttons instead of the NA who has two shades of purple.
I much prefer the curved lines of the Japanese / Euro PAL design of the SNES. I think the controller looks better too with the coloured buttons as opposed to the purple buttons on the NTSC model.
Once again excellent restoratoin video, OT! :D I believe you actually have done a Super Nintendo Entertainment System teardown before, so it's great to see a newer video of it! ^^ It is a shame to hear that the Famicom, and Super Famicom creator, Masayuki Uemura, recently passed away, so it's very nice of you to make this repair video as a tribute for all of his hard work! :') Maybe we'll also get to see you repair a SNES controller in the next video too! :) Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
Your videos are really nice and relaxing, and inspiring honestly: someday long in the future I would like to learn how to do all of this to. It seems really satisfying. Thank you for making these, and I can't wait for more to come.
Is it explained why they stopped it? I assume it was introduced to stop kids opening it with whatever tools they had laying around at home. My pessimistic brain says it's cause kids of today aren't used to using tools anymore.
@@AccAkut1987I think it's because it's useless nowadays. As soon as a new type of screw would be released, people can order a bit from china. Back then it wasn't so easy. Might as well use cheaper regular screws.
@@MisterCasket agreed, but I was more thinking of preventing 8-year old Timmy from grabbing a random Philips head screwdriver and opening the console in a fit of curiosity
@@AccAkut1987 In most cases? It was almost entirely a means of reducing public accessibility to the internals. Anyone with a half-decent knowledge of hardware could fix most issues in these consoles, and in using the security bits, it made it so that only those who Nintendo was getting a cut of profits from would be able to crack one open and fix it. From a more friendly perspective, you could see it as Nintendo trying to ensure that if you came into any issues with the console, you wouldn't be tempted to try and fix it yourself recklessly and completely void the warranty.
My SNES is yellowed in exactly the same way! From what I understand Nintendo changed the sauce in the plastic of their console shells at some point. Pretty sure they were using up existing stock and there were more old formula top shells on hand that day.
Have you ever tried to restore consoles that ended up being unable to be fixed? I think that could make for a really interesting video, just to see the process you go through of finding the broken part, trying to replace it, etc.
I find the contrast that the purple of the buttons makes with the yellowish color of a discolored console very attractive, personally I like how the snes looks like this and I would like to have one that is completely of that color but it always happens that only half changes color .
Watching these videos makes me sad that when I was super little my family threw away an N64 because the reset button was stuck down with dirt and nasty....
If felt my old school "backseat driving" start to come out as you began to play Mario, wanting to guide you in what you can/should do, lol! Used to do this with my brothers, rarely willing to play video games (well, beyond the SNES. I still play games but I'm much more selective and will play a si gle game for years), but happy to offer assistance.
I am a huge fan of your restoration videos! You probably were asked about it plenty, but what do you do with the Hydrogen Peroxide after the "anti-yellowing" process? Can you reutilize it? Or it just breaks down and becomes "normal" water?
Now I know exactly what tool I needed to be able to open my original SNES, had that thing for years, I still have my NES, original SNES ( bought it the day it came out lol ) PS1, PS2 ( fat and slim ), PS3, also still have my 3DO that came out in 97', along with my Gamecube and Sega Dreamcast along with the Dreamcast arcade controller lol
Insane how such a visually severe problem could literally be solved by cleaning a couple prongs. I know not all electronic problems are like that, but geez!
I was reminded of time I repaired one flat screen TV by simply replacing few capacitors from power supply (so clear faulty too). Sometimes repairing things or asking someone to do it, would be cheaper than buy new one.
hey i wanted to recommend that using electric screwdrivers on old plastics isn't the best idea as it can chew up the threads and break the screw posts, it is better to gently turn left until you feel a gentle click meaning the screw has found it's original thread to keep it in better condition and not worsen the integrity of the plastic. :)
It kills me seeing this because I have one of these when I was in high school (2009-ish) and a Sega and they both were thrown away while my family was doing spring cleaning. I played on both of them all the time!
Wow I have not seen a super Nintendo in YEARS, this was an amazing video. I can't imagine how hard it is to restore and repair a very old gaming console that's collected dust and from what you found, corrosion, to make everything look like when it was first created, AND with a classic good game such as super Mario world, just brings joy to my heart!
Great job! Just like I thought when I did a video of my SNES, you can Retrobright these too much, and instead of returning to the bluish-grey color they are supposed to be, they become bright white instead. It's unfortunate.
@@jeremyphillips3087 I suppose some people don't mind that, I guess. To me it comes off as too much though, and in my mind it seems even more damaged that way. :(
Well, between a lot of people who have previously worked in Nintendo repair centers, and just a bunch of careful tinkerers, it's pretty common to see tons of guides on taking apart and repairing older consoles, especially ones like these! Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he just took the time to read up from the internet on these repairs and go for it(after all, buying a non-functional console can be cheap as hell, so worst case is you lose a few bucks but gain some good experience)!
Just so you know, the reason only the top half yellowed is that some plastics used in these machines were more susceptible to yellowing than others. They were molded in one place, then sent off to another for assembly, so machines frequently had a top from factory A (using a yellowing plastic) and a bottom from factory B (using a non-yellowing plastic). I've seen it the most with SNES/SFC units but it's true of a lot of electronics from the period.
I thought it had to do with the top part being the one that is exposed to light
I still don't understand why the top piece yellowed so evenly even inside.
@@MrSubjetivo Sunlight can do that to plastics if it's directly exposed to them for a long time if you're home has older windows, but many electronics from this period yellowed like this SNES because of the type of plastic they used in some batches.

I was reminded of time I repaired one flat screen TV by simply replacing few capacitors from power supply (so clear faulty too). Sometimes repairing things or asking someone to do it, would be cheaper than buy new one.
"Let's-a see if I can get this working " I see what you did there 🤣Great work!
hey i wanted to recommend that using electric screwdrivers on old plastics isn't the best idea as it can chew up the threads and break the screw posts, it is better to gently turn left until you feel a gentle click meaning the screw has found it's original thread to keep it in better condition and not worsen the integrity of the plastic. :)
It's weird because he showed exactly that in one of his older videos
🙄
It blows my mind how simple these systems were. So much enjoyment out of such a basic board.
It kills me seeing this because I have one of these when I was in high school (2009-ish) and a Sega and they both were thrown away while my family was doing spring cleaning. I played on both of them all the time!
Wow I have not seen a super Nintendo in YEARS, this was an amazing video. I can't imagine how hard it is to restore and repair a very old gaming console that's collected dust and from what you found, corrosion, to make everything look like when it was first created, AND with a classic good game such as super Mario world, just brings joy to my heart!
the fact that he never ran while playing is anxiety inducing.
Right? That was KILLING me
What wonderful skill you poses. Thanks for sharing
Great job! Just like I thought when I did a video of my SNES, you can Retrobright these too much, and instead of returning to the bluish-grey color they are supposed to be, they become bright white instead. It's unfortunate.
I think it looks good like that. Honestly had a mandela moment and thought that's how they were supposed to look.
@@jeremyphillips3087 I suppose some people don't mind that, I guess. To me it comes off as too much though, and in my mind it seems even more damaged that way. :(
@@retrorestoration9053 thats so sad :(
So many memories with my SNES playing Zelda, Mario,donkey Kong. Still wish I had mine
Você é um profissional de mão cheia!
Looks as good as it did when we first brought it home from Woolworth’s in 1991.
This was pretty cool. How did you learn all this stuff, like how to reassemble the SNES? Do you have some sort of career in this? Tell us
Well, between a lot of people who have previously worked in Nintendo repair centers, and just a bunch of careful tinkerers, it's pretty common to see tons of guides on taking apart and repairing older consoles, especially ones like these! Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he just took the time to read up from the internet on these repairs and go for it(after all, buying a non-functional console can be cheap as hell, so worst case is you lose a few bucks but gain some good experience)!
How does he not have 1 million views!! This is just whoa
