Just so you know, the reason only the top half yellowed is that some plastics used in these machines were more susceptible to yellowing than others. They were molded in one place, then sent off to another for assembly, so machines frequently had a top from factory A (using a yellowing plastic) and a bottom from factory B (using a non-yellowing plastic). I've seen it the most with SNES/SFC units but it's true of a lot of electronics from the period.
@@MrSubjetivo Sunlight can do that to plastics if it's directly exposed to them for a long time if you're home has older windows, but many electronics from this period yellowed like this SNES because of the type of plastic they used in some batches. You can tell it's the plastic's fault because everywhere on that top shell is yellowed perfectly on all sides, including the inside where the sun can't get at. It's also ironic that the UV rays reacting with hydrogen peroxide and reverse the yellowing
@@finkamain1621 yeah, the top shell was definitely made from a completely different type of plastic than the rest. considering how little the rest of the shell parts were yellowed i assume this unit didnt even sit in sunlight and the topshelf might have yellowed on its own without even ambient UV.
No I’ve seen many of these types of the yellow all the whole bottom and top shelves were both the ones that are white and then yellow have been modified and have been changed with other parts from other units this is not an original unit this is been put together from different parts. This is not an original top and bottom shelf.
Crazy how after 25 years without playing Mario, he boots it up, and I can immediately hum along to the tune. The brain is fascinating. Excellent restoration ❤️ RIP Mr. Uemura.
To be fair, it could be that he has not spent 25 years without listening to Mario music. Rom hacks, speedruns etc. have gained quite some popularity. But yes, the Mario soundtrack is quite memorable and it's astonishing how much the brain can hold onto certain patterns.
After many years of not listening to Chronic 2001, I can still hearing Dre saying "...And when your console repair aint doin too good, who's the Ducktor they told ya to go see?" Or something like that
I never really understood ASMR until now. The soothing imagery of the restoration process and how gently it's carried out, combined with the lack of commentary leaving only room for the quiet sounds of bits and pieces being moved around have made this, and this channel, some of the most calming content I've observed thus far. Absolutely love it. Keep up the great work!
Super Mario World on the SNES was the first video game I ever played. This hit me in the feels 😭 I got so nostalgic as soon as you started messing with the buttons and stuff, listening to those sounds was like having recovered a memory. Love your whole channel!
The moment that he starts the snes and you hear the coin, took me 25 years back when i was just a kid in christmas, what an awesome video man, congrats!
I'm a Sega Genesis kid but Nintendo is my favourite now. I wish Sega was still in the console,or handheld market. I'm really enjoying watching these videos 🤟
I love watching these restoration videos from you. They're always so relaxing and it just amazes me how talented you are. You can make something work that hasn't worked in forever! And you're also able to restore an item's original color.
Restoring the colour is the easier thingy in the restoration process compared with making it work... Which depends on what it gets subjected to through its lifetime, yeah some will be easier to fix than the colour... But it's very rare
I never saw this channel before, but I was moved by this video. There was something very loving about this. Restoring something that would otherwise just go on a trash heap... into something that could provide a lot of joy to someone. I remember getting my SNES when I was 9 years old, late in 1992. I got years of fun out of that thing. Anyway, great job.
I remember stumbling upon this channel back in 2020 during my remote senior year and it being oddly satisfying to watch on breaks in between classes and when I had no work to do. Glad I found it again!
Hey Odd Tinkering, I know you did this project a very long time ago now, but I thought I'd just say thank you for all your hard work and time you poured into this. Thanks to your deep dives and deconstructions like this, you helped me make it possible to restore my sister's old Super Nintendo that was damaged from UV and everything you undid. Thank you for being an inspiration and I look forward to each and every one of your projects as they come out
My cousin had an SNES when he was a kid. I would beg my parents to go over to his parents house so we could play the games he had. I never had the opportunity to own one, but I did get an N64 as my first game console back in Christmas 1997.
Man! no music, no narration ..... now this is art! 😘 hearing music in absolutely everything, now gives me a headache. - a former music junkie who just kinda grew up.
Omg finally I’ve been waiting for so long on this Some other consoles I would like to see restored is original Famicom and Atari 2600 Keep up the amazing work man
Wow I have not seen a super Nintendo in YEARS, this was an amazing video. I can't imagine how hard it is to restore and repair a very old gaming console that's collected dust and from what you found, corrosion, to make everything look like when it was first created, AND with a classic good game such as super Mario world, just brings joy to my heart!
As much as I love this channel this is like seeing one of my childhood friends being eviscerated 😨😨 RIP Masayuki Uemura, he who created joy to millions of children globally o7
My aunt has one of these along with the Super Mario game. My sisters and I loved playing it whenever we managed to convince her and our parents to let us. That music brought back a lot of nostalgia.
This is the North American version and this is the only version who looked like this. The rest of the world had the original Famicom design you had in the UK. The reason the US got a different design was because Nintendo of America thought the original design looked to much like a toy.
@@nameofthegame9664 It's the version we had in Brazil too, through Playtronic (Nintendo's Brazilian representative at the time). I particularly find it pretty nice-looking, even though it's basically a fancy box, lol.
@@nameofthegame9664 It's interesting to me that for the SNES, Europe got the Japanese design, whereas for the NES, you basically have the Famicom design for Japan and the NES design both for Europe and America. (Not sure what the case was for the rest of Asia.) Personally, I very much prefer the EU/JP design. It's just... *charming.* Plus, I mean, Nintendo has always focused mostly on child/family-friendly games, so "looking too much like a toy" does not really seem like much of a problem to me. It seems like an entirely fair design for a console from a studio whose biggest property is Super Mario.
@@thelordstarfish I also like the original design better. The blocky design of the North American SNES with its kinda funky purple color doesn’t exactly make it any less toy-ish. I also like the original controller with a different color for all four buttons instead of the NA who has two shades of purple.
I much prefer the curved lines of the Japanese / Euro PAL design of the SNES. I think the controller looks better too with the coloured buttons as opposed to the purple buttons on the NTSC model.
And yet another game console roars back to life! I don't think there's anything you and Ducktor can't revive. I never had the SuperNES, looks like it was fun too. Thanks for sharing another awesome video with us brother. God bless, and Happy Holidays! Rev. D.
Somewhere between Huber Heights and Vandalia, Ohio, I used to drive by an electronics repair shop with that repairman Mario logo on their sign outside. They were licensed for Nintendo repair (maybe still are,) and it always felt surreal to see such a thing in the real world.
My SNES is yellowed in exactly the same way! From what I understand Nintendo changed the sauce in the plastic of their console shells at some point. Pretty sure they were using up existing stock and there were more old formula top shells on hand that day.
Hi, as always, awesome restoration. I wanted to let you know that this was the first restoration channel that I followed. I immediately became an admirer of your work and wanted to learn. I am currently studying electronics, getting my equipment and practicing my skills. So, thanks for the inspiration c:
Your videos are really nice and relaxing, and inspiring honestly: someday long in the future I would like to learn how to do all of this to. It seems really satisfying. Thank you for making these, and I can't wait for more to come.
I've seen you make replacement labels for consoles before and was wondering what method you've found to make them the most realistic/original looking. Not sure if you've mentioned this before.
In a video, although I can't remember which one, he made an exact replica of the label in photoshop, and I assume just printed it to a sticker afterwards
Imagine being one of the main proponents responsible for the happy childhood memories of so many people around the world; a sanctuary for those who felt socially isolated, a way for those with difficulty making social connections to bond together and make friends, a way for families to grow closer, of introducing and inspiring young and growing minds to the possibilities, the fascination with, and the love of technology, programming, and science, and the domino effect that came from that influence. Makes it even harder to imagine what the world would have looked like if it hadn't been for people like Masayuki Uemura, Hideki Sato, and Masami Ishikawa, and everyone else involved in making the first generation of consoles, who thus helped bring the world of computing into many more homes than the early home computers could due to pricing. It's hard to imagine how one could not be content, looking back on such a life on their deathbed, having made such an impact on the world. Thanks seems inadequate, and somewhat meaningless. At least I hope he - and his colleagues in that early field - all saw our collective appreciation for their work, in the way the world changed due to their efforts.
Once again excellent restoratoin video, OT! :D I believe you actually have done a Super Nintendo Entertainment System teardown before, so it's great to see a newer video of it! ^^ It is a shame to hear that the Famicom, and Super Famicom creator, Masayuki Uemura, recently passed away, so it's very nice of you to make this repair video as a tribute for all of his hard work! :') Maybe we'll also get to see you repair a SNES controller in the next video too! :) Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
Watching these videos makes me sad that when I was super little my family threw away an N64 because the reset button was stuck down with dirt and nasty....
This was the first console I played and owned. I got it when i was 5 years old. I remember playing Super Mario World on a grey wide CRT TV in my room. I spent a lot of time with this console. I still have the one I got when I was 5 and it still works. I hope to preserve it for several more decades.
I find the contrast that the purple of the buttons makes with the yellowish color of a discolored console very attractive, personally I like how the snes looks like this and I would like to have one that is completely of that color but it always happens that only half changes color .
Is it explained why they stopped it? I assume it was introduced to stop kids opening it with whatever tools they had laying around at home. My pessimistic brain says it's cause kids of today aren't used to using tools anymore.
@@AccAkut1987I think it's because it's useless nowadays. As soon as a new type of screw would be released, people can order a bit from china. Back then it wasn't so easy. Might as well use cheaper regular screws.
@@MisterCasket agreed, but I was more thinking of preventing 8-year old Timmy from grabbing a random Philips head screwdriver and opening the console in a fit of curiosity
@@AccAkut1987 In most cases? It was almost entirely a means of reducing public accessibility to the internals. Anyone with a half-decent knowledge of hardware could fix most issues in these consoles, and in using the security bits, it made it so that only those who Nintendo was getting a cut of profits from would be able to crack one open and fix it. From a more friendly perspective, you could see it as Nintendo trying to ensure that if you came into any issues with the console, you wouldn't be tempted to try and fix it yourself recklessly and completely void the warranty.
Have you ever tried to restore consoles that ended up being unable to be fixed? I think that could make for a really interesting video, just to see the process you go through of finding the broken part, trying to replace it, etc.
Insane how such a visually severe problem could literally be solved by cleaning a couple prongs. I know not all electronic problems are like that, but geez!
I was reminded of time I repaired one flat screen TV by simply replacing few capacitors from power supply (so clear faulty too). Sometimes repairing things or asking someone to do it, would be cheaper than buy new one.
I am a huge fan of your restoration videos! You probably were asked about it plenty, but what do you do with the Hydrogen Peroxide after the "anti-yellowing" process? Can you reutilize it? Or it just breaks down and becomes "normal" water?
It's so nice seeing you finally using a #2 Philips instead of a #1. Not all small screws are a #1, and in your past videos it was clear the bit was too loose. I can sleep well after this one.
hey i wanted to recommend that using electric screwdrivers on old plastics isn't the best idea as it can chew up the threads and break the screw posts, it is better to gently turn left until you feel a gentle click meaning the screw has found it's original thread to keep it in better condition and not worsen the integrity of the plastic. :)
It kills me seeing this because I have one of these when I was in high school (2009-ish) and a Sega and they both were thrown away while my family was doing spring cleaning. I played on both of them all the time!
Great job! Just like I thought when I did a video of my SNES, you can Retrobright these too much, and instead of returning to the bluish-grey color they are supposed to be, they become bright white instead. It's unfortunate.
@@jeremyphillips3087 I suppose some people don't mind that, I guess. To me it comes off as too much though, and in my mind it seems even more damaged that way. :(
Best part about this video was how I caught myself thinking: I would totally sit here and watch this dude play Mario, apparently! Great video as usual!

@@AccAkut1987 In most cases? It was almost entirely a means of reducing public accessibility to the internals. Anyone with a half-decent knowledge of hardware could fix most issues in these consoles, and in using the security bits, it made it so that only those who Nintendo was getting a cut of profits from would be able to crack one open and fix it. From a more friendly perspective, you could see it as Nintendo trying to ensure that if you came into any issues with the console, you wouldn't be tempted to try and fix it yourself recklessly and completely void the warranty.
"YEET".. The sound everyone makes when opening the expansion port cover on the bottom of a SNES.
Have you ever tried to restore consoles that ended up being unable to be fixed? I think that could make for a really interesting video, just to see the process you go through of finding the broken part, trying to replace it, etc.
He kinda did, with an Wii-U, but the viewer sent some extra wii's with the fixed one
The sounds in this could be an ASMR video. So relaxing. Nice video!
This channel is so relaxing. It's a good thing to watch in this troubled times. Great job, mate =)
What wonderful skill you poses. Thanks for sharing
I remember when you restored one of these that had dried up yogurt in the cartridge slot, preventing games from reading.
I remember great times and many, many hours spent playing.
Insane how such a visually severe problem could literally be solved by cleaning a couple prongs. I know not all electronic problems are like that, but geez!
The fix was to resolder the pins, without that it wouldn’t have worked even after being cleaned with IPA, as shown with the multimeter.
@@weniard I'm pretty sure that's what they meant by "a couple of prongs". They're probably just not familiar with the terminology.
Reflowing cold solder joints doesn't really qualify as "cleaning a couple prongs"
You have no idea of how much tech stuff people just throw away due to even simpler issues. 😔
I was reminded of time I repaired one flat screen TV by simply replacing few capacitors from power supply (so clear faulty too). Sometimes repairing things or asking someone to do it, would be cheaper than buy new one.
Love that you re-added the customer support sticker. It’s the little touches.
R.I.P Masayuki. Great and amazing video. One quick question, do you recycle/reuse the hydrogen peroxide? Or you use a new clean bath every time?
Great video 👍. Masayuki thanks for making millions of kids happy....
I am a huge fan of your restoration videos! You probably were asked about it plenty, but what do you do with the Hydrogen Peroxide after the "anti-yellowing" process? Can you reutilize it? Or it just breaks down and becomes "normal" water?
It's so nice seeing you finally using a #2 Philips instead of a #1. Not all small screws are a #1, and in your past videos it was clear the bit was too loose. I can sleep well after this one.
hey i wanted to recommend that using electric screwdrivers on old plastics isn't the best idea as it can chew up the threads and break the screw posts, it is better to gently turn left until you feel a gentle click meaning the screw has found it's original thread to keep it in better condition and not worsen the integrity of the plastic. :)
It's weird because he showed exactly that in one of his older videos
🙄
The patience and dexterity are very impressive.
Você é um profissional de mão cheia!
This might be your best work yet
It kills me seeing this because I have one of these when I was in high school (2009-ish) and a Sega and they both were thrown away while my family was doing spring cleaning. I played on both of them all the time!
A joy to watch…thank you 👍
Great job! Just like I thought when I did a video of my SNES, you can Retrobright these too much, and instead of returning to the bluish-grey color they are supposed to be, they become bright white instead. It's unfortunate.
I think it looks good like that. Honestly had a mandela moment and thought that's how they were supposed to look.
@@jeremyphillips3087 I suppose some people don't mind that, I guess. To me it comes off as too much though, and in my mind it seems even more damaged that way. :(
@@retrorestoration9053 thats so sad :(
Best part about this video was how I caught myself thinking: I would totally sit here and watch this dude play Mario, apparently!
Great video as usual!
love 💕 from morrocco 🇲🇦❤️🇲🇦❤️
the fact that he never ran while playing is anxiety inducing.
Right? That was KILLING me
My favorite console...amazing job 🔥
