  • I picked up an NES lot off of eBay for $53. Over the next few videos we'll be cleaning, fixing, and retrobrighting the system and all the pieces.
    In this video we'll concentrate on the NES Console. During testing the console blinks and is inconsistent in reading games. We'll take it apart, give everything a good clean, and try to get it working like new.
    During the video I'll reference Odd Experiment's video on Retrobrighting. It is definitely worth a watch: • How to remove yellowin...

    I'm about to deep clean all my consoles from the 80s and 90s, and your content helped me get the stuff I need to do it properly and not break stuff. Thanks!

    Like clockwork man.! NES cleanup and maintenance is cathardic and therapeutic. watching you service this one made me smile 😁

    I see your channel says you were priced out of the hobby but I and I'm sure many others would be happy to buy consoles that had been given this amount of care.

    I've had one sitting in my closet for years. Think I'm gonna go give it a good bath now and order some games for it. Thanks for the vid!

    Five out of six controllers recommend the NES!

    I keep my gaming consoles in a room where the heavy curtains are always kept shut, no issues with any discoloration of the plastic, including on my NES. The video is useful to me in that it shows how easy it is to access then clean the internal pin connector, yes my machine blinks if a cartridge isn't pushed into the console at a very precise position.

    doing a cleaning, recapping, and later retrobriting of a craigslist NES. Was wondering how the heck the power/reset buttons were removed from the switches...oh, video says they just pop off, imagine that. Instant thumbs up and sub. The whole video was very informative, thanks!

    Just got me an NES at a vendors mall for 6 dollars, will be cleaning it up and hopefully get it preforming correctly.

    Such a cool video. I really chilled out and enjoyed this. I have a NES that I am going to give this treatment to. You have really helped and given me an excellent tutorial.The hydrogen peroxide bit I wasn't expecting but I'm sure I can manage it. Going to do my controllers at the same time so I only have to do that stage once. The only thing I'm wondering is did you turn the parts while they were soaking over the 72 hours. Thank you.

    Great video. Two years later, have you had any yellowing return?

    The container looks quite large, and 1 gallon of liquid doesn’t seem like it would be enough to cover the plastic parts. Did you use multiple gallons? Or perhaps did do part water and hydrogen peroxide? It would be great to know the size of your plastic container and how many gallons of hydrogen peroxide or whatever else of liquid you used.

    I’m trying to fix my nes and so far I noticed it has a squeaking door. Does this method fix that issue?
