Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
My best friend had one of these and he used to loan it to me over the weekends. We would move around with it in a backpack looking for our circle of friend's household with a free tv to play on. A piece of history brought back to life. My childhood in a flash there.
What catches my eye is how well electronics are built. Understandable circuitry and well made components. Those where the times... And further hypnotising to see it coming alive as if it just have left the factory.
A perfect video. No BS filler talk or cheesy, inappropriate music; just visually clear and to the point. Perfect restoration (someone commented below about getting the grey right and not going too far). I'd rate this 9.98 out of 10, only because it would have been that extra .02 better if you had booted up Super Metroid instead, but that's just personal preference. :)
It looks beautiful. And, unlike many other restorations I've seen, it actually still looks the correct shade of gray after the restoration rather than looking a wrong kind of dull whitish or really bright gray. Good stuff.
I remember having one of these. And my parents made me put it back in its original packaging every time I was done with it. No clue where it may be. But I bet it’s near mint if it didn’t go to the dump or a yard sale.
I love how methodical and organised each stage is in this restoration. No music or affects needed when you are this organised 👍🏽(plus you tried on my favourite game)
Hey, great job! I have read a lot about retrobright but I'still afraid of dunking my c64 into that, so I have some questions I must ask you. How is the plastic after UV? Is it still ok? What about its texture?
@@CP200S Speaking from experiments and experience - the plastic will actually become less brittle after the yellowing is treated. Texture will be completely preserved. Just make sure not to ever use the salon cream method as any uneven application will result in bright streaking across the plastic. So far, the retrobrite technique has proven to be fairly safe and forgiving. However, if you're using sunlight over UV LEDs you want to constantly check on any parts that weren't originally white, off-white, or bright gray. Sunlight acts much quicker than the LEDs so keep that in mind or you'll risk bleaching darker colored plastics. One of my first tests was on SNES power and reset switches which are a purple colored plastic - my childhood switches were pretty much brown from being in a shed for nearly 10 years. The peroxide definitely turned them back to purple but not only did I make the mistake of using the salon cream, which resulted in a very blotchy appearance. I also left them out for just a little too long and ended up bleaching them. Sorry for the long reply, I'd just thought I'd add what I could to help you feel more comfortable with trying this out.
That's impressive getting that yellowing off I never knew that was possible. The only thing you missed was putting the cheat in at the start to give you extra turbo stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. 👍
You can do that with any kind of yellowed plastic. It won't turn your plastic into new condistion, though. It has aged and will crack easily, because the molecular structure of the plastic has been damaged. Sooner or later the plastic will also start to turn yellow again. You can't stop the plastic from degradation once it has started.
@@kaisersoymilk6912: It mainly means, the plastic ist in good condition. Nearly as good as new with most of the softeners still where they should be. As long as you do not suspend it to extreme sunlight, there won't happen too much. UV radiation is the main reason for the colour change. It destroys the molecular structure of the plastic and especially the softeners.
I didn't expect to see your zinc plating kit on a SNES restoration (i'm not disappointed :) +1 to nintendo for not putting their srews under the rubber pads !
@@Dynamotorsports the protection against corrosion is even better than the original as for the aesthetic you can have better finish by polishing the parts before platting them but it is time consuming, time he probably didnt want to invest for hidden parts
Brings back memory of playing your mates on a weekend. The whole online just isnt the same now think I'm just old though lol. Thanks for the video was a good watch.
Excellent job, mate! I've been taking advantage of the curious circumstances, in which we all find ourselves, to completely redo my ATV tilt trailer. My MIG skills are exponentially improving, as a result. When that's done, my Jeep CJ-5 drivetrain gets some loving with new gaskets and seals.
You can strip down the cartridge slot further than what you did to access the inner pins and give a proper cleanup. Other than that, that's a clean restoration.
Glad you weren’t taking bets, I’d have put down a wad saying you couldn’t bring that back. Amazing, great content and all in a nice 15min package. Loved it.
To be perfectly honest when i first saw how yellow it was i didnt actually think it would turn grey again either but here we are and its mint condition again :) Really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Great video. I use hydrogen peroxide to reverse the sun discoloration effect on vintage Lego pieces. I just set it out in the sun though. Looks like I need to get me a UV light though...
And that's the way technical products CAN be build so that it is easy to take them apart and repair them if needed. No glue, no plastic welding, no planned obsolescence !!!
Great restoration. Would have been even nicer if you had replaced those big capacitors, which are known to be worn out in practical power on hours - thanks for the great video.
My SNES turned yellow 3 years ago it was perfect before that, I need to return her to her former glory in the future. I've had it since 96 I believe, my first console.
Nice restoration! A tip is to put some thermal grease between that voltage regulator and the heat sink. Keeps it cooler and makes it last longer. Also, in an old system the electrolytic capacitors might need an overview. They dry out over time and stop working properly.

Excellent work , do you do it for your consoles or also for other people ?

My childhood in a flash there.
I honestly didn’t know you could bring plastic back after it turns yellow. Amazing result.
It is called retrobrighting
You can !! There's a lot of tutorials on ytb to do it :)
i agree IVAN GRANIC its called retrobriting
Don't do it, it ruins the look
@@jglg7238what Are you talking about? It restores the look
It almost brings a tear to my eye watching this classic be restored to its former glory.
What catches my eye is how well electronics are built. Understandable circuitry and well made components. Those where the times... And further hypnotising to see it coming alive as if it just have left the factory.

He played one of the best games ever beside Castlevanya IV
Honestly, thumps up for being able to put the parts back in place, it's not easy
Thank you :)
That's why you make a Video or at least some fotos while disassembling 🤫
Jaja... I said to myself "this guy is in troubles" as soon he started breaking down that "master piece"
I feel like it’s gotta be more nostalgic playing on it with it looking how it would’ve done when it was new.
It looks beautiful. And, unlike many other restorations I've seen, it actually still looks the correct shade of gray after the restoration rather than looking a wrong kind of dull whitish or really bright gray. Good stuff.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
You bring back my old time memories. Back to the time when video game was a luxury and fun experience
wow when i heard that startup it brought back so much memories
Same for me :)
Nice work. Just as good as it looked when it left the Nintendo factory plant in Japan back in 1992.
Hard to put into words how satisfying these videos are.. Great job, as always!
Your arsenal of chemistry and mechanical decontamination tools are impressive bro!
Thank you :)
That’s great !
まるで新品で羨ましい！
ウチにあるスーファミも綺麗に蘇らせたいなぁ。
Fantastic restoration of a Snes. Certainly brought back memories, stay safe
Thank you very much glad you enjoyed it, stay safe :)
The ultraviolet plastic treatment is amazing. I can't wait to try it on a future project!
I think they use ultraviolet to whiten teeth too.
ultraviolet in water remove the oxidation color?
Sorry, violet led is not ultraviolet light, it is only violet light
.
super impressed the yellow came out. The removal of the zink coating on the screws and hardware was totally 100% not necessary.
I still got my old SNES ...ahhh nostalgia!
I remember having one of these. And my parents made me put it back in its original packaging every time I was done with it. No clue where it may be. But I bet it’s near mint if it didn’t go to the dump or a yard sale.

I'm so glad you didn't "find it in a lake covered in mud." Great job!
Lmao! gotta love those videos where the item has clearly had some mud thrown at it and is like new underneath haha!

What an awesome job restoring it to its glory days. Send it down our way when your done playing 😎
I’m amazed... how you got that colour back... wow 🤩
Thank you :)
Am I crazy or was that strangely satisfying? 🤣💪😎
Me too, is strangely relaxing
@NukuNuku if he's a captain then he's your Superior.
Seriously! This is some impressive work. Very detailed
This is the most professional deep cleaning SNES console treatment I ever saw, so satisfying.

@@truegrip2281 he might have had the time considering it took 3 days for the UV treatment for the casing. 😁
Different but great. That UV and peroxide does an amazing job!
Thank you :)
Nice! Before you cleaned it, it looked like it was dropped into a toilet, but after you cleaned it, it looked brand new! Nice work’
Amazing, I bet there is a lot of nerdy collectors that would want you to restore their consoles like that.
Not gonna lie my fav part of the whole restoration was when he put on street fighter hyper fighting
I did a lot of these restorations (CRT monitors, consoles and computers): it's the most satisfying process to do. Love it!
I don't do the zinc plating though..... 😅
Awesome, and love that you gave us a working demo. Man you could write a book on all your restoration procedures and tricks.
Nice to see you again ,Thank you for your kind comment :)
I still play on my good old Super Nintendo, best game console ever made.
A blast from the past 👍🏻👍🏻
I've recently discovered your channel and am really enjoying going through your back catalogue. Thanks for posting your videos.
You are so welcome! :)
As the other guy said ..... satisfying
When he put the screws in and it slides and sinks together 🤤
I didn't have much of a childhood, but I felt like I sure did once I saw this video from start to finish.
That was the most successful bleaching of a console back to it's original colours, it was awesome, that was a great video
You did a great job of cleaning that system and making it look new again.
No talking ASMR is my favourite kind of ASMR.. ;)
Strangely relaxing to watch. And the result is astounding.
Incredible restoration, looks brand new!
Thank you :)
Brings back memory of playing your mates on a weekend. The whole online just isnt the same now think I'm just old though lol. Thanks for the video was a good watch.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment :)
Very cool. Nice trick with the uv light on the housing
That little box and game was my childhood. Still have mine in mint condition.
This is the greatest device restoration I have ever seen.
Got yourself a gaming system for your lockdown bunker, life is sorted
Steve Austin I've actually just bought myself two gaming systems for my lockdown bunker! 😅
Excellent job, mate! I've been taking advantage of the curious circumstances, in which we all find ourselves, to completely redo my ATV tilt trailer. My MIG skills are exponentially improving, as a result. When that's done, my Jeep CJ-5 drivetrain gets some loving with new gaskets and seals.
Thank you and nice to see you again, Glad to hear that your keeping busying during these trying times, stay safe :)
Thank you so much for this 👏👏 For sure the best SNES restoration video with the odd tinkering one. 👏👏
One of the most satisfying things I’ve ever seen 😃
Glad you liked it :)
I had a super nintendo. The super mario kart was epic. Nice work!
I still watches your Ducati restoration videos over and over just because..... It's a Ducati restoration :)
Thank you ,Im very glad you enjoy them and i hope to do another Ducati soon ;)
Brilliant! Brought a massive smile to my face when you played it at the end 😄.
Incassable et indémodable SNES !
Génial ton travail 👍
12:35 man I wish we had these kind of loading times back
You will.
That was amazing! Watching it taking life again took me back to my super nintendo days! Love the video! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
😱 look like new SNES GREAT JOB!!!!!👍👍👍👍
An ancient Master in the job! Great work indeed! Cheers, M
Really Random Channel = Best restoration ever
Thank you very much :)
Thanks you to, it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos! (sorry for my bad English)
Great job on the SNES and the video. Live Long & Prosper!
Thank you very much :)
I don't remember mine looking that good brand new out of the box in the 90's.
looks almost brand new... great job 👍
Oh wow I will need to do that to my dear old Super Nintendo. Thanks for sharing!

So many memories - thanks for doing a wonderful resto on the faithful SNES!
Thank you for leaving a comment :)
1:28 and you just voided its warranty. Kudos for restoring its inner beauty as well.
i'm pretty sure the warranty expired years ago.
Amazing results, it looks like new just out of the box new purchased!
How awesome, this video definitely took me back to my childhood
Glad i could evoke some memories for you :)
Wow, what a great clean job! I'd love to do this but I think I would mess up in putting the thing back together. I'm amazed how you knew what to do.
restorative hardware hard-on! Radical job yo!

Hahaha ! Amazing ! Didn't know you had one. The startup music brought back sudden memories of college life . 👍
what a wonderful clean job ! Well done !!!
I'm still around since the beginning. Just haven't been commenting. Hope all is well there 😎👍
Nice to see you again, I was wondering where you had got to :) Stay safe.
@@RRCRestoration Thank you. I'm still around I didn't go no where :D
Great restoration. Would have been even nicer if you had replaced those big capacitors, which are known to be worn out in practical power on hours - thanks for the great video.
Cara...ficou novinho o snes...parabéns 👏👏👏
I enjoyed these games much more than today's games
Great watch - I would have put some thermal compound under the transistor that was bolted to the heatsink plate
My SNES turned yellow 3 years ago it was perfect before that, I need to return her to her former glory in the future. I've had it since 96 I believe, my first console.
Always great to watch, and different!, nice job as usual 👍👍👍👍
Thank you :)
Excellent job! 👍🏻 So much prettier than the American equivalent
Thank you! 😊
本体の黄ばみが取れるのすごい感動🎶洗浄液が、そんなに濁ってないのは不思議…

Hi bro 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 this console is from my childhood 😁 I was interested to see your new project 👍 you did a good job 👍 💣👌🏽✌🏻
Nice to see you again, Glad you enjoyed the restoration :)
Unusual restoration for this channel. But the finished product came out real nice.
Just trying to keep things nice and random ;) haha .Glad you liked it.
Good Restoration Done 👌
Thumbs up 👍
👏 👏
Looks really fresh.
Nice restoration! A tip is to put some thermal grease between that voltage regulator and the heat sink. Keeps it cooler and makes it last longer. Also, in an old system the electrolytic capacitors might need an overview. They dry out over time and stop working properly.
Some thermal paste would have helped that poor transistor... Thanks for another great video!
Mais quel souvenir ! Bravo.
Super!! looks better than the factory!!! Bravo!!!
Thank you very much :)
Great work - that's easily doubled the value of the machine, if not more!
一番凄いと思ったのは、
バラしたものを元に戻せたこと笑
I have one of these and it's still in perfect working order .it would nice if people spoke in what there doing instead of a silent movie
makes you really appreciate that Sega went with all black consoles with the Genesis/MasterDrive
