I bought this NES for $11.99 on eBay. It was listed as "junk," "broken," and "for parts only." It took a while to get it back in working order, but I think the final product is definitely worth it.
The 72-pin connector replacement I installed is called Blinking Light Win. It allows the cartridges to be pushed in straight rather than having to be pushed down after you put them in. This can help save the pins over time. You can learn more here: www.arcadeworks.net/blw

I thought I was in over my head on this one, but it turned out great. Thanks for watching, and subscribe for more videos like this.
good work but you solder joints would ball up less and stick better with some flux, at least the way it appears on my end
great video, almost asmr except for the grindy bits, almost dosed off in NES DIY heaven
@@cdoublejj I definitely need some practice with the soldering. First time I had dusted off the soldering iron in quite some time. The solder has flux in it, I thought that would be enough but clearly not. Thanks for the tip!
I really Like the way You made this Video.. I am in the Middle of Soldering and Going through RF Box now..
@Alex Ko Agreed, I cringed at the soldering bit tbh. Nice work otherwise :)
Just for those playing along at home and might be new to electronics: the footage of installing the new large capacitor actually had the positive and negative orientation backwards. Looks like it was fixed off camera as it was correct in a later shot, but polarity of an electrolytic capacitor DOES matter, especially in power circuits like that one! So double check orientation before removing the old one to ensure the new one goes in properly.
Correct! I realized my mistake quickly afterward and flipped it. All was well after that.
I saw that too. I was practically pulling my hair out when I saw it. It maybe nitpicking a little but when you drive a screw into plastic it would be good to first turn the screw backwards till it jumps or clicks, then drive it in to use the original threads to prevent stripping. Also, using a #1 Phillips driver with a #2 Phillips screw makes things clumsy and could lead to some catastrophic mistakes, like gouging a PCB and breaking traces. Other than that, good job.
Sat all the way through, loved it. Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@OneMansTrash How come the game isn't pushed down like an actual nintendo? Something fishy there.
You gonna bring a NES to Duna Matt? You better pack atleast 10 chutes
Now you gotta do Jool-5 with the mass restriction being the weight of an NES.
Me too!!😁👍
I can still clearly remember how it felt the Christmas morning when I woke up to find one of these. It's so strange to remember the anticipation of playing it for the first time while also thinking about how very old it has gotten.
Felt this in my soul
those were the days !
Your dedication to restore that thing is impressive.
HOnestly, when I saw the bag in the nes I thought it was a bag of weed.
Same LOL
Glad I wasn’t the only one
lol, same. Also thought it might've been the reason the seller thought it was broken (until later)
Me too haha
Me too
I'll never get tired of seeing the before and afters from that uv trick
Could you please share the color codes of the paint you used in case someone also needs it ? Thank you.
I'm not sure why watching someone clean like this is so satisfying. I can watch this all day.
Oh wow! I found this really interesting too watch!
I'm glad!
Some of those solder joints look like they could end up as cold joints... anything that ends up looking like a ball instead of a cone can be problematic... flux is definitely your friend when it comes to soldering and even moreso when it comes to desoldering! Still, you didn't do anything with the soldering iron that can't be fixed if you want to open it back up... or if it eventually breaks. But cosmetically speaking? Wow! Great Job!
This is an uplifting video restoring this old usage NES console cleaning and removing old dirt and rust that's been sitting inside there making it look like brand new. Playing old games kicking it old school.
I will never doubt this man.. I said there's no way he can restore that to look and work like new.. well done sir
So satisfying, thank you for giving this console so much love and respect.
Absolutely loved this video, the love and attention to detail is top notch. Also, very relaxing to watch.
I hope you do more consoles 😁
This was so relaxing and satisfying to watch! Thank you! Amazing work!
Thanks so much!
@@OneMansTrash Ah,nerts,it's called "patina" !!!!!!! ♿ 🇺🇸
I was 8 years old and my parents brought me a brand new NES, because I kept renting them with my allowance. It was a great time to be a kid.
You are Awesome! Very quiet and relaxing video I must say with your trademark style. Almost like a Bob Ross feeling. Nothing crazy just pure honest hardworking art on your desk and I love it. Much love and respect to you as you clearly know what you are doing and have a passion for the NES as well as other projects I've seen. You are totally Cobra Kai Material and know how to sweep the leg. A+++++ Thumbs Up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great restoration and great video. Please make lots more of these kinds of videos very informative and appreciative.
Absolutely amazing transformation, very impressed, great work !
Found the video from your Medium acc. Great work, man! I just sat through the entire video. Dedication is contageous.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so satisfying to watch. Great job brother.
I find these types of restoration videos fascinating. That NES sat somewhere, in its inoperable state, for who knows how long. Then, someone who cares enough, and is willing, completely redeems it.
This was very enjoyable to watch and love the rebirth of this NES!
Great vid and excellent restoration! Liked the subtitles and lack of talk. I watched at 2x speed so I appreciated that the text stayed on the screen for a while. Nice job. Do more!
Glad you liked it!
Wow amazing work man!! Thank you for saving this NES and transforming it from junk to almost new condition. 😀👍🏻
I’m a geek for these old electronics and you doing this is super cool
So surprised over the paint and the coloring, excellent work
Great job on this repair! Looks as new as the day it was made. Keep it up! 👌🏻
Amazing!! Just like how it came out of the box in 1986! Great work! 👍🏻
Wow, the difference in the before and after of this NES is shocking! Great job!
Amazing. I thought for sure that system was trashed when I first saw it. You did a phenomenal job restoring it! How and where did you get the paint matched?
This is both catharsis and ASMR for my gamer head.
You really outdid yourself there. Beautiful and very dedicated restoration of this gem :)
Thank you for giving it the love and attention it deserves 👍🏻
My god. I got one almost this bad as part of a lot (lucky the rest were better than expected). I am completely new to repairing very bad components but I figure I can learn on this one without fear of breaking anything further! Thank you for showing its possible!
Very nicely done man! Gonna clean up my system tonight!
Utterly Satisfying Ooooweeee Absolute Awesome Job On This Classic Console
The NES looks like it's a very well made product, and made to be repaired. Most parts can be removed and put back together, the injection molding parts are good, etc. Nice move with the urethane, that NES shall live 40 more decades.
Didn't expect paint to be a good way to go on these things but that was well done! Looks amazing!
So chill - style seemed fairly reminiscent of my mechanics stuff which is great. Subbed :D
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic work friend! Truly a master craftsman.
The paint mix is BANG ON. Absolutely the right tone. Is there any way to replicate it for the rest of us?
I second that
I too would be interested in getting some of this paint.
Nice job in restoring this huge piece of history. But you should skill up soldering a little bit ;)
mm6....first you had my curiosity but after seeing one of my favorite games you got my attention!!!! keep up the good work.
Very relaxing to watch. Enjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work!! Pristine craftsmanship! Did u know about removing the lockout pin because of the cartridges have issues with the contacts will give issues. Enjoyed video great work.
This was so satisfying! I've subscribed.
Welcome!
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on youtube!
Wow amazing!!! Might as well call that the Lazarus NES, since you resurrected it from the grave!!! Great Job!!!😁👍
Thanks for doing this! Looks awesome
You won't let me live. You won't let me die.
I was convinced you pulled a switch on the tops after the paint job. Then later on you flipped it over and we could see the burn marks from underneath. Damn dude. Nice job
Excellent resto man!
I sent you a tweet asking about the custom paint you had made and wondering if you have a place you get it from or the color. Restoring one myself and need the paint to fully restore it. Awesome video though!
If he answer you (or if you have another workaround), please share with us. Good luck
Home depot color matches
Loved this. Excited for more. Thanks
More to come!
Great video, keep it up! My only critique would be to check out some videos on good soldering practice and getting a variable temp soldering iron (if you don't already have one).
Yeah my soldering skills are very rusty. It's been years since I had to do anything to a pcb, but I'll get better I promise!
ok?
@@OneMansTrash I see what you did there.
"rusty"
It feels good to see something get restored
This is DEFINITELY oddly satisfying indeed!! I couldn’t believe it with my own 2 eyes!
Nice job, came out fantastic!
awesome vid! can’t find a blinking light win anywhere (broken link in description), BUT one can scrub a manufactured pin connector with bar keepers friend and it will sometimes restore it.
The restoration is excellent, but I have an unrelated question: Did you pick Mega Man 6 of all games, for any particular reason?
removing those RF power boxes is such a pain in the arse to do. i know cause ive removed a few myself to recap. personally i would have replaced the voltage regulator and diode array wile i had that open. great video!
YO. You just took me back to real moments 30+ years ago.
Oh man Wish I could purchase this NES. Great video
Hello, great video, Quick Question ~ What type of video converter are you using for the a/v to hdmi? thanks
Excellent restoration!! Nice touch for using Megaman VI to test it! One thing to note, try to get a better soldering iron. Subbed.
Thanks, will do!
Just got 1 that looks about the same. Hope my attempt goes as good. Great video. Thank you.
excellent work especially on that power board A+++
Awesome stuff brother
The 80s and 90s
Good time
Great restore, such attention to detail :)
Bravo! Looks great!
This is awesome! I have a Magnavox Odyssey II console that needs to be brought back to life. I do not know enough to attempt to restore it and nobody local is willing or able to. I would love to find a way to restore it. I enjoued watching this video! Excellent restoration!
love this channel !!!!!!! MORE MORE MORE !!!!!!!!
You do all the work I wish I could do for electronics. I carefully shop for my electronics and get very sad that I don't have the tools to fix them when they are super dirty and/or broken. Thanks for making this video. I find it very cathartic to watch you bring back to life what was dead.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Robint
Tools ????,all you need is a screwdriver and a soldering iron, the rest is just house hold articles,toothbrush, Dollar Store screwdrivers, yeah, Dollar Store,good enough,vinegar,Etc . If you don't know how, watch videos how to solder, how to repair electronics,take pictures when you're disassembling it (whatever)so you know how to put it back together, it ain't rocket science !!!!!!! Your other stuff you'll just pick up along the way, multimeter,solder sucker, and other various electronic test equipment, but for this kind of job that's all you need,what I mentioned at the start !!!!!! Good luck !!!!!!! ♿ 🇺🇸PS check out Mr Carlson's Lab on CZcams,the guy's a genius !!!!!!
When you turned it on at the end, it was like a patient waking up from a coma to see their family.
Questi sono i lavori che mi piace vedere,hai fatto un lavoro assolutamente PERFETTO!!,il tuo NES e' impeccabile,la console e' pari al nuovo.complimenti davvero!
Impressive work! Great!
This is my ASMR loving the sounds
This one brings me joy.
I done that same thing to a dozen of Nintendo entertainment systems I clean the plastic top and bottom rf shielding the 72 pin connector and the contacts where the cardtridge makes contact the motherboard
Amazing! Where or how can I get the paint? Great video, ty.
There's a tear in my eye. 👏👏👏
Just marvelous work.
Amazing Job!!
The blinking light win pin connector. I upgraded my NES with one too. And I love your vids Ducktor 🦆
Great video man
Excellent video. Thank you much. Can you fix nes games that might not work? If so do you have a video of that?
As an electronics testing/repair technician who works on telecom equipment, it always makes me chuckle seeing the ever so gentle touches of the softest of toothbrushes on thru hole solder joints. Naw son, stiff bristles, distilled water and baking soda and get to scrubbin! Anything taken off by that, especially on this vintage tech can easily be repaired (and usually to better than original condition).
For real though, not bashing on you; you did a great job on the resto. Just wanted to point out something I've seen in so many videos that makes me giggle.
To share some observations from my own experience as well, with consoles and restoring electronics in 80s era Toyotas; the conformal coating you applied at 10:38 is only useful if the acids sitting on the PCB have been neutralized. They will continue to eat away at the traces even under the coating if not taken care of. This is the big reason for washing with baking soda and then thoroughly rinsing and drying. Maybe you did and just didn't show it in the video, but in case you didn't, I figured I should throw it out there. For the metal parts when they can be completely separated from the rest of the assembly (as you did) I use Naval Jelly followed by a thorough cleaning and drying. Works like a champ and saves the annoyance of doing mechanical rust removal. Then if the piece isn't being soldered or welded on, either paint or conformal coating (depends on where the part is going) to seal out the elements.
Not always. Try doing that on an arcade PCB, like a Neo Geo 4 slot unit and have dozens of traces lift out simply by using a very stiff brush. Ugh, it's a nightmare. If a soft brush works as good, and it helps prevent further damage, I'm all for it. Much less a PITA.
@@megasdkirby Good point. I should've specified stiff bristle TOOTHBRUSH. Didn't realize until your reply that all I had said was stiff bristles.
Great Restoration👍🏻🤩
I love this so much. I have some old hardware in the shed that I just can't let go of. I do so hope I can restore them like this some day. 😊 ❤️
Ps. I got here from Facebook. A post from CraftyPanda. 😊
Great Video! Love it, hoping to see more.
More to come!
Great job🙌
Perfect! Cheers from Brazil!! 😊
Like for the Bender tattoo...and Mega Man IV
I got one brand new in the box for $10 but yeah I could never restore stuff like you awesome dude
Great video !
that is really good for restoration!!
WOW!!! I wish I was you! Fixing video game systems
