It would be wonderful to witness the Panasonic cube functioning flawlessly again. Consider creating a video on how to fix it.
I 6th this
I can't remember who but a CZcams did a teardown on this and it is wild with multiple layers of motherboards

The Panasonic Q is notoriously one of the hardest game consoles ever to tear down and repair, which is part of what makes working units so expensive.
The disc drive is more than just a common issue, it's pretty much every unit the plastic in the drive is extremely brittle and has broken. If you get one that's ever seen any use you're likely replacing the plastic rails of the disc drive.
Japanese "Junk" means more along the lines of "as is, untested" than any indication of cosmetic condition. I've read my fair share of sellers saying "i don't know how to use this thing, so selling as junk"
As opposed to ebay in the US where "as is, untested" means "I know it's broken, but I'll get more for it if I don't tell you".
cultural differences I guess@@icebergmm
Capacitor replacement is a must
Was going to comment that exactly lol
It means its broken man that how japanese ppl talk like
The 3.5 inch drive on the Sharp twin Famicom is for the Disk System games such as Legend of Zelda and the main reason it probably doesnt work is because the rubber band that operates the disk reading function is broken
It's an ancient floppy!!
Of course it's broken!!!
They're relatively easy to fix too, I replaced my original Famicom Disk System's rubber band, though realigning the head was a bit tough.
It's crazy that he could know what the Panasonic Q is but not the Famicom Disk System lol.
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises I can tell you that at least most floppy drives still work as long as you replace the belts.
Can't say that about the lasers in most consoles. PS1 is barely holding out, but gamecube already failed twice.
@@NottJoeyOfficial The Panasonic Q has gotten way more attention online, especially in the West.
is not a Floppy Drive its a Quick Disk Drive.
Even though the Quick Disks that Nintendo used for this look like floppy disks on the first look, they work completely differently than a floppy disk.
While a floppy disc works with sectors and individual files can be accessed directly, a quick disk is more of a data cassette drive that uses a disc instead of a tape.
These drives are also a horror to calibrate when the rubber drive belt needs to be replaced
Japan was definitely a leader in tech innovation.
I would actually say they still are, maybe in a different way.
@@XxMiNeCaRtPhOeNixXnot as mainstream, but I'd say especially for arcades and marketing/showtime presentations. Two areas where they excel over everyone else imo
Was?
They're also the leaders at sexualizing school children in anime
@@NicotineRosbergnot who you were replying to but I'd also say "was".
I'm basing my opinion on the fact that Japan in the 80s- early 90s was THE worldwide leader in tech and electronics. They were the ones at the forefront of innovation and quality and nobody even came close. Arguably the US was their closest competitor but they were still a whole decade ahead of them.
All that stands in stark contrast to today. They no longer are the de facto tech leaders of the world. Even a country like South Korea has leapfrogged them in every possible way. Just ask anyone living in Japan today. They'll tell you that the country is practically living in the early 2000s. Mobile/smartphone banking and payment is practically nonexistent among other things.
I want a video where Austin attempts to fix the Panasonic cube and everytime he fails he gets shocked
I don't know how we got here but I'm all for it.
Count me in! This has to happen
I bet the reason the twin famacom disk drive isn't working is due to the rubber band in the system being old and broke
Judging by the physical size of the drive, I think there might also be a good chance of just replacing the drive entirely, with a random old floppy drive from a beige-box PC. Uh... if your idea of a belt replacement doesn't work. 'Cause I wouldn't want to ruin the factory appearance of the machine.
@@Dee_Just_Dee The disk system used a proprietary disk so trying to replace it with another floppy drive wouldn't work. It'd physically fit but a standard floppy drive wouldn't be able to read the disks themselves.
That Japanese SNES and the PS1 are both giving me nostalgia. The Japanese SNES is the one that I'm more familiar with than the US models since it was the one given to us by my uncle who used to worked in Japan.
The Super Famicom shell was also used for the PAL-region SNSP-001A model Super Nintendo. So that design is familiar to most of the rest of the world.
On the Sharp Twin Famicom: it's not a 3,5" floppy drive. It's a proprietary system by Nintendo and was originally sold as an add-on for the Famicom called the Famicom Disk System. The Sharp just combines these two in one system.
Just watched the first part last night and couldn’t wait for the next video of these!
That Panasonic Let's Note is soooooo ahead of its time - it is literally the Microsoft Surface's ancestor 🤯
It's 7th gen intel CPU so it's at least from 2017. Not that old.
I really want to see a Panasonic Q fix video, it would be pretty tight if it was actually fixed as it was by far my favorite console growing up
Your video on the Panasonic Q was the first tech video I ever watched on CZcams. Ever since that day, the Panasonic Q has been probably my favorite console of all time.
I really want to see that Panasonic Q up and running and Austin having fun with it.
I love these mystery tech videos :)
The I think you should leave reference 😂😂😂 11:53 I’m a fan
Love your mystery videos ❤
Hope we get a deep dive video on the attempt to fix it. I think it would be great to see how it turns out.
yes interesting vid of stuff. Always great seeing more kenzie!
One of the first things I ever bought on Ebay was a Twin Famicom. It still works 👍
I wanted one when I was a kid and we were visiting Japan, but my parents said no.
I grew up in the Philippines, where the Family Computer was sold under that name and without the modifications that would turn it into the NES in the West, so I actually find them more nostalgic for me than seeing the NES in most English-language vids about video games on YT. I had the original white and red model with the red rectangular controllers mounted on the sides.
I'm so old, this whole LET'S GOOOOO is still hard to get used to lol. Great vid like always 😁
Love the chemistry between Austin and Ken when they found cool old technology and just having fun uncovering more.
Austin, Matt and Ken are all very different dudes with equally goofy personalities lol they host well together for sure
more japanese mystery tech please!!
That's how the Famicom and super Famicom were sold in Japan you had to buy the power adapter separately.
Yep! You bought the power adapter separately because northern Japan is on 50hz and southern Japan is on 60hz, so you buy the power adapter specific to your region! (At least, that's how I understand it!) It saves the manufacturer money so they don't have to make two different boxes of the console and can ship the same box country-wide!
@QuestionBlockGaming I knew this already, but It's good to have this information here for those people who don't know that watch this video.
If anybody is wondering, the Panasonic Q is probably the hardest console to take apart. It's literally multiple motherboards on top of each other, as you can kinda see from taking off the sides. Even people who are skilled at repairs hate working on these, thus why so many stay broken.
So a video on the repair attempt of the Panasonic cube?? I'm here for it!
100% video on restoring the Panasonic Q. Its the jewel in my console collection along with my PS2 automobile yellow.
Great vid. Take it up a notch!
This video is pure nostalgic aside from the things I’ve never actually seen before like the Famicom mixed with floppy disk‘s. Didn’t know those existed lol
I think it's just for Famicom Disk System functionality, rather than being a floppy.
Deffinitely want to see a repair attempt of that Panasonic Q, maybe a collab with someone with experience restoring older consoles?
7:43 "Is that Ness?"
7:46 "No, it's a Famicom" 🤣
That famicon matching.his shirt in color is just perfect
Here we go ❤ absolutely love it
Yes! The Panasonic Let's Note! I got one a couple months ago and love it!
I just got a package from Sendico and they changed my shipping to Fedex as well. It was like a third the price for shipping.
17:00 That is a 7 pin Din connector. Din connectors have been used for keyboards, joysticks, midi, and in todays world ADJ still uses the 5 pin Din as the remote line for their fog machines.
In this case... that is for an RF-switch... if you recall the original Nintendo could only plug into your TV using the cable line, you had an adapter that you plugged your cable into, and then plugged it into the tv, and you had to select channel 3 or channel 4 as the channel the Nintendo would work on. That is what this Din port is for... and yes, it is a form of RF.
17:39 to be clear, the Famicom Disk System did pretty well in Japan--it's just that the Sharp Twin Famicom didn't sell as much as the regular FDS add-on.
A lot of popular NES games actually released as disks in Japan. However, pretty soon the cost of making cartridges dropped enough that the disk system really didn't have a reason to exist anymore. Thus, we never got the FDS in America and games were tweaked for a cartridge release--including in Japan, where games like Zelda, Metroid and Castlevania got cartridge rereleases after originally coming out on disk.
The only real bummer about this is that the FDS had an extra sound source that sounded pretty neat, and also a lot of games that saved on the FDS switched to a password (Metroid) or nothing at all (Castlevania) when they came out in the west.
I found one of those sharp twin systems at my flea market once, really neat seeing something like that in person.
How are you keeping up with daily uploads and still make it AWESOME!
a couple of those would probably be some relatively easy fixes. the super famicom and the twin should be manageable.
You might find it cool to know that the theme for that disk system start up screen is the same theme as the Gamecube menu, it's just slowed down 16x on the Gamecube.
Everybody wants a Panasonic Q fix video.
I remember hearing the Panasonic Q is very prone to getting damaged in shipping, like your chance of it still being working when it arrives in the US is pretty low. This is on top of it being a massive pain to work on due to how much stuff is crammed in there.
In Japan, "junk" can also mean:
Damaged products
Products that stores haven't been able to sell
Old and used things that have little value and that you do not want any more
pretty sure the english "junk" also means all of those things
Please do a video on fixing the Panasonic cube. I would love to see this.
How old and what model of hdtv is autin using? Most of those consoles looked proper (save for the snes), Though they might not look so pretty in some of the fancier games with certain modes or effects going on. And clearly it wasn't tested for play-ability (just if it got audio and video out)
Austin talking during the PlayStation boot up hurt my soul on so many *deep* levels.
I would actually to see a video of you repairing the Panasonic Cube! I also have never seen so much glue in a tech product before 🤣
In love with the golden "smoked" super famicom😂
Love this episode
u need to make a video repairing the Panasonic cube!
when that play station sound played. Just pure AURAUL BLISS
Love this channel ❤ Matt is a G.
Matt saying, “it’s got a bush, what the (hugs)” shows as being the most replayed part of the video haha. Of course I noticed that by replaying that part..
The Panasonic twin is just a mashed together original famicom and the famicom disk expansion. The hardwired controllers were originally put on the first gen famicom then the later models like the one u had went to detached controller. The disk was an attempt to increase storage for famicom games. Taking the original cartridge max from 32kb to 64kb per side of the 2 sided disk.
The Gameboy cartridges most likely have flat CMoS batteries. You can open them up and replace them (most often cause of broken cartridges) as they also power the drm which is why the save and cartridges then don't work
Need a build video doing the repair!!
I want to see Austin try everything to fix that Game Cube!
I'd love to see you repair that Panasonic Q!
With the SNES you could replace the cartridge slot and do a deep clean to remove the yellowing.
I know it's been done a million times on youtube, but I reckon you'd make a good video of the process.
I’ve had so much fun refurbishing sold of my old consoles, de-yellowing, cleaning the contacts. This would be a fun project for anyone who like doing that kinda of stuff. I might have to give this website a try
i'm low key hoping for a follow up video on a possible attempt to repair that Panasonic-Q
the TimtheTatman music threw me off i was looking to see if i had another tab open lmao
Japanese tech not being wild is unheard of
I bought a panasonic Q from japan complete in box about 10 years ago for about what you payed for that one. It is wild how much they jumped in price. mainly bought it as a cool novelty.
Quick tip for the game boy, I had a game once that if I pushed it all the way it wouldn’t work, so I only pushed it far enough to where it left only a little bit of the cartridge sticking out, but it worked
I love when there is variety on the couch. Nothing against Matt or Dengi, there are just other fun people there too
Need to see that update on the Panasonic-Q
I want to see a video series on repairing that Panasonic Q.
please make a video about repairing the panasonic q. I would watch it tirelessly.
What is the model number of the Panasonic CRT TV?
I would very much like to see a follow up video on the Panasonic GameCube, perhaps fixing it?
Stunt game childhood memories unlocked!
This time,a LOT of cool stuff!!!
I use to want that NEC machine soooo bad , I was already On Turbo Duo After Having Turbo Gfx 16 , Great Times
@5:40 Austin having a stroke forgetting Nintendo AV connectors.
I was just playing on my friends Sharp Famicom last month!
You should definitely make a video on trying to repair the Panasonic Q!!
😂🤣🤣 thanks Austin! it was fun video
I hope you bring out a follow up to the PGC, everything is repairable if you know how too !
i wanna see a vid on the panasonic q repair! please make it happen! that would be so sick!
Props for the business Sendico reaching out and helping find a better shipping deal for the order, regardless of the quality of the content.
If you clean the contacts on the gba games (or any cartridge based games) with a qtip and some isopropyl alcohol then that’ll generally do the trick for getting them to work, just to elaborate for those not in the know
I need a episode fixing the cube lol
I assume from Austin's reaction that he never experienced the top loading NES we got over here after the SNES launched. It was pretty much identical to that famicom, complete with the rounded controllers.
you hurt my soul when you gave that game a blowie
What does the game being on CD have to do with it being 2D? Like larger data storage isnt inherent to 3d games
we better get a cube repair vid!
Would love a video seeing u try fix the Panasonic q 😂
Did you fix the panasonic q yet?
"The... 'Wiggly Diggly Dudes' is Japanese." The way I spit out my drink. 😂😂😂
Please make a video repairing that Panasonic Q!!!!
Please make a video restoring/fixing the Panasonic Q.
Panasonic Q I LAUGH..HAHAHAHA 😭all that $340 money well spend austin..
The Sharp Famicom console probably just has a dirty head in the 3.5" floppy drive. It might only need to have a 3.5" floppy drive head cleaner run on it to get it working properly.
That PS1 intro brings back so many fond memories, good ole days.
This is amazing to see 🙂
I grew up playing the Famicom.. I love it and I still have it.
They were talking about the ps1 controller had me thinking about a gc controller I have. It’s a silver controller, seals and everything but, the connector is purple and up underneath the silver is purple. Unlike my other silver one with a silver end and white up underneath. Is this normal?
