I Restored This Yellowed Junk Nintendo 64 - Retro N64 Console Restoration

Fun fact. The previous owner of the N64 used it as a beach towel.

"Thats a nice gree-" "Its supposed to be blue"

I love that all your vids just make me appreciate how not-ridiculously-dirty my consoles are. I even just opened up my original NES for the first time and a minor amount of dust and dirt. 33 years in the dirtying lol

This is one of the most amazing, detailed and easy to follow guides on how to refurbish an old electronic, keep it up! I’d love to see this with newer tech as well in the same style, I appreciate your work.

this channel is a masterpiece. no loud intros no annoying music or talking. It is absolute mastery at its finest. Thank You.

This was like watching open heart surgery on a loved one. I still have my original N64 from when I got it for Christmas all the way back in 1996, still works like a charm. Only thing on it to fail was the RAM expansion, luckily an easy fix.

This channel is just pure satisfaction in all the right ways.

The "removing the yellow" - part never stops being super satisfying

That brings back memories, I used to have that model, our house got robbed and my dad took me to the store to replace my black N64 and I chose the ice blue one. Then some time later we got robbed again and they stole that one too. Turns out some years later that we learned it was the neighbor kid that was watching our house for when we left. Thank you for listening to my life story.

I’m 13 years old as of now, but back when I was like 10, I really wanted an N64. After a few years of trying to get one, I finally gave up. Until one of my older brothers old friends (That I hardly even knew!) offered me his extra N64. It was miraculous! I ended up taking his offer (obviously)! I ended up hooking it up to a CRT TV (that he ALSO gave me), and put it in my room. So now, underneath my loft bed, I have an old CRT TV with an N64, a GameCube, a PS2, an Original Xbox, and a VCR all hooked up to it. I love to use the the TV to play GoldenEye. With my 2 older siblings!

You should send this to dkoldies

I can't help but think of him typing in the Craigslist's search bar "Dusty, stinky old disgusting Nintendo 64" haha. I love your high quality videos man, all the angles & everything must take so long to setup. It's also great ASMR.

For those asking, The Duck is both Critical and Necessary for a successful outcome. 🦆

When watching restoration tutorials for a GBA, I noticed a lot of people would just throw away and replace the outer body, which to me kind of feels like a Ship of Theseus situation almost. You literally took a doomed N64 and made it look like a brand new system right off of the production line. Without replacing every part. And you made it mesmerizing.

How satisfying was that?! 👏 I'm obsessed with these videos. thank you so much. I cant wait to get my hands on one now!!

Man, that console is probably broken and look how filthy it is! - our argument for not buying it Man, that console is probably broken and look how filthy it is! - his argument for buying it. Perspective and intention make a lot of difference.

“The yellow color is caused by yellowing” Hmmm, yes, the floor here is made out of floor

Channels like these are fascinating... Like one day, they find a hunk of worn out nostalgia, junk, antiques or whatever and the first thought they think is "That thing looks horrid. Challenge accepted." Next thing you know, the thing that you had becomes brand new again. The shear freakin' attention to detail, the careful choices and actions... As a gamer, seeing this legendary console being brought back to its former glory is art.

Man, not only do I love the work you do, but it brings back memories of my wife(then girlfriend) playing on the 64, then years later, my kids. Serious happy memories.
