Junk Sega needs fixing // Let's give it a restoration!
🕹️ In todays video join me as I restore a broken Sega Master system 2, firstly giving it a good clean, and then repairing a broken joystick port, with my own custom designed 3D printed part, printed on my Prusa MK-4 3D-printer.
🟣 I bought this Sega Master System 2 for just £8 from Vinted, in a bundle with 5 other old consoles for £40 (consisting of 2 x Master System 2s, 1 x Mega Drive (aka Genesis), 1 x Mega Drive 2 and an Atari 2600 Jr.) All of them were very grubby and in need of a good restoration and some repairs.
🟣As I don't have this variant of the Master System II in my collection yet, I chose this one to give a full restoration to today, starting with a good clean inside and out, i...

I'd be very interested in seeing how retro brightening has developed since then. Your videos have popped up in my feed occasionally due to the scary algorithm, but it was right.
