The worst thing that can happen to an old console is that you reconnect it and find that it no longer works. And secondly, to see how it has suffered the passage of time with that yellowish color that makes it lose most of its attractiveness.
It is inevitable for light-colored consoles, such as the Dreamcast or the Super Nintendo. And it is just from the latter that we will see a hypnotic video where TysyTube Restoration leaves it as new after a very thorough cleaning.
Beyond that fashion by the ASMR (Autonomous Meridian Sensory Response), the hypnotic and most attractive thing about the video is to see how he takes apart the entire console and fuses it with various baths using different cleaning methods to return it to its original color. And incidentally remove all that scab from the interior, which was in a deplorable and certainly disgusting state. Seriously, the number of things that can sneak in there is incredible. And let’s not say in a tower of a PC. At least there was no bug.
On the other hand, we see how it repairs various components when basic aspects of the connection fail. They are 15 minutes of video that fly by and with an exquisite and most enjoyable presentation. I wish I had that same knack and all those tools to restore shine to my Dreamcast. And fix the first controller port, damn it … In what state are your retro consoles?
