Introducing my new series: “Retro Restorations” – my first go at an ASMR-style video. No talking, just restoring. Bringing new life to an old dirty Sega Saturn controller.

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy this new mini-series "Retro Restoration"
For those of you who have already asked, this new style WILL NOT be replacing the old style I've done until now. I'm going to try put together both types of videos for the next few weeks to help get us through these tough times.
To be clear, I will still be making the "Fixing Ebay Junk" videos and narrating what I'm doing in addition to these. I'm just hoping between the two series, I can put out more content for everyone.
Stay safe everyone!

Where can I get that nut driving kit?
Is this odd tinkering ? :p Its very very relaxing tho
I never thought to turn the screw backwards until I hear a click. Gonna have to do that from now on.
I found two model-2 Saturn controllers at a second-hand shop a few days ago for $15 each. I bought both and applied this kind of elbow grease to it. Got them looking… not quite like new, but presentable at the very least.
You should've used some PlastX on the glossy part, to get rid of the scratches.
Miss the talking, no more of these please…Don't see the point.
I need the knowledge as I try to learn the art of repair myself! Odd tinkering feel, but I like it!
Not a fan of the no narration, It would be nice to hear you describe the actions being performed
Hi, i found out your channel some days ago, i'm a lot in to stuff like restorations and fixing of old devices and consoles and similiar stuff. I thought your channel would be worth a shot and i was right, pretty good stuff.
I was wondering: do you follow Odd Tinkering as well? Seems like this video is pretty close to his style. Don't get me wrong i think there's nothing bad about it since you do your own restoration with your own methods, you surely have good video making potential that is actually coming out. About your methods nothing to say, it's clear you know what you are doing.
You're going greate dude, keep it up!
well.. I'm a collector but not this model.. the d pad is .. awful (for me of course ).
I'm surprised you didn't take the time to clean also the rubber contacts with alcohol .
oh well… as long as it works…. who cares !!!
I clean all my used consoles and controllers that I get thoroughly before I use them.
oh god, this is just cleaning video, not restoration.
I don't like odd tinkering videos, and this one reminds me his ones. Please, continue to do only your traditional videos were you talk, explain and do a general commentary, they are awesome
Are you losing your voice? XD
Be very careful using hot water. Hot water can warp certain plastics and they will not fit back together again correctly.
I have a Mega Drive controller, fully working but 2 of the plastic membranes are worn out so I can't push them down correct as they sort of sink in without being springy so useless on fighting games. I do have modern replacement controller so right now Im using it as decoration hung up on wall but would be nice to fix it.
Nice vid. I have tried a couple different things on my channel also. If you get a chance check it out. Look forward to the next vid.

One of the reason I love watching tech restoration videos is because of the many sounds that are made in the process of taking things apart to putting them back together, tho I also like info on what is being restored. This was a great idea tho. Can't wait for more.
Reminds me of one of those clickbait videos where the guy soaks a zippo in something corrosive then cleans the surface rust back off of it. Magically nothing is ever seized or pitted after all those "years" of neglect.
