Welcome to our museum. Here at the Society For Lyrical Retrorepair, we use timewar-surplus vortex manipulators to send our chronomuse volunteers back in time to inspire musicians who would otherwise go to recording with an embarrassing "la la la la" placeholder in their songs. This is our main […]

Battery terminals desintegrated upon touch. Let's connect some juice and see if the rest still works. #gameandwatch #retrorepair #retrorevival

A friend returned this to me when I saw him a few weeks ago. I gave it to him over 30 years ago and I had not seen him for at least 5 years. We had a good time catching up. He said it never worked though. Let's see.. #gamewatch #gameandwatch #nintendo #retrorepair

Show me your tech cleaning kits!

I'm trying to collate a box of cleaning gear for old tech restores after spending too much time raiding the cleaning cupboard and MrsFunks makeup consumables 😂

Ordered a Super Mario Land 2 off of eBay that had a dry battery (and wasn’t disclosed despite supposedly being “tested” - that’s a pet peeve for another day). That said, my novice soldering skills were sufficient and SML2 now saves properly! #retrogaming #retrorepair #mario #gameboy #nintendo

Some solid scrubbing and debugging (two spiders to be precise) and a new 72-pin later, this toaster is back in commission serving fresh hot games. Now you’re playing with power!

Starting to clean up a friend’s retro collection for re-commissioning. I LOVE getting games and systems back in action! #retrogaming #mariokart #n64 #nintendo #retrorepair

You can retrorepair the hardware but without the media….🤨 Anyone else still pumping out this stuff?

But now the other side is janky. Had hoped it would stay OK for a while longer and I'd do thisbside when it fails later. But I guess I'll just have to do it now. #virtualboy #retrorevival #retrorepair

Fixed. Every time I do this I cringe at how ugly and shitty it looks, but it works... #virtualboy #retrorevival #retrorepair

Me vs. Quooker, 1 -0! Our boiling water tap died last week. Older model, so as usual unnessecarily replacement parts phased out, unavailable, please buy a whole new one, thank you eur2000. #retrorepair #quooker #ftw

Tried the TV setting and it works. But no analogue signals in the air anymore, so can't test. But now that I turned on the #crt I am afraid of touching shit on the inside :) #boombox #retrorepair

Got it working again! 10 Quid we'll spent! There was 1 loose wire inside and the 220V socket was stuck (yes, stuck. will explain later). All wires seem brittle and wimpy, will need to replace them. Volume knob need some attention as sound drops outs, one of the speakers too. #boombox #retrorepair

Fixing the Columbia 248 portable record player. Works on mains, not on batteries. Feel guilty working on this instead of something console related. But this should be an easy fix (battery contacts) and no love, so when it works again I won't mind selling it.

Found some damage near the AV out of the super cdrom2. A damaged trace and a loose smd cap. Hopefully that is what is stopping the composite signal.

Enzymes in the potato will break down the hydrogen peroxide (it will start to foam) but I guess not enough to retrobright or the plastic needs UV to take up the oxygen...
