You can use 40%. I used 6% because it is all that is available where I live. I believe that this PS1 was submerged for 2 to 3 days - if you're using a 40% solution you can probably get the same result in 6 to 8 hours.

That's awesome thanks and what ratios did you use, it looks like you add, peroxide, developer and water? What quantities of each should I use? I'll be using 40% peroxide as I got a whacking great 5 ltr bottle of the stuff lol

É sem marca. Custou uns €15 no AliExpress, mas não é muito bom, o qualidade do imagem pode ser melhor.

Thanks!

Yes, you can buy a PCB with Type-C port on Amazon or Aliexpress

Então Julio, eu usei WD40 para tirar os adesivos. Para limpar os partes plásticos usei detergente de lavar-louça de marca Fairy, com cheiro de eucalipto e água morna. Para limpar o PCB usei álcool isoproílico 99% com um cotonete, e tbm usei uma escova náilon antiestático, para os lugares mais dificeis (a mesma escova que se vê aos 16:54). Para limpar o metal, primeiro vinagre de limpeza, e depois usei WD40 com papel de lixar. Enquanto a pintura, tem que lixar primeiro, pintar com o primer, lixar levamente denovo e limpar, passar tinta, lixar denovo levamente e limpar com alcoól , e depois passar tinta pela segunda vez. Deu um trabalho, mas vale a pena.

I sanded it before primer, after primer, and between each coat of paint.

Eventually, just like any paint. But it should last many years, unless you attack it with a pickaxe or something. The surface is sanded, then a layer of primer is applied, it's sanded again, then followed by three layers of paint, with a light sanding and cleaning between each one.

You used to be able to buy an LCD screen that could be attached to the back os the PS2 slim and these holes were the mounting points for the screen.

@@VVGRestoration Big thanks man. The iron sheets inside are rusty, so I'm glad it doesn't matter, thanks again

🤔 Nowadays, would simply upgrade to a (Frost?) White MemCardPro MC for PS1, cleaning any 2-4 of the already available white DS1s for sale on eBay and, if 3-4 multiplayer, applying the same case treatment to a classic multi-tap since the already white multi-tap for the subsequent slim PSOne was not compatible on previous PS1 form factor consoles, IIRC. Another option for white controller could be using a white PS3, PS4 or (8bitdo?) 3rd-party wireless controllers with a wireless controller receiver dongle plugged in to the port (may likely have to paint the receiver dongle white if none are made in that color) if not modding and installing the one option I recall that kept original controller ports' functionality while adding the aforementioned wireless controller board inside the case after a little notching for clearance of a bare board.

Not pure black but I've done a two-tone silver and matte black PS1 (satin silver on top with a black base).

@@VVGRestoration you may have answered this before my apologies but do you sell these? (Only found the channel today after it was suggested)

I've sold them in the past but only for the same price that I paid for the console before restoration. I wouldn't sell them for profit. I just enjoy the restoration process, I find it satisfying.

@@VVGRestoration satisfying to watch! I’d love to see a matte black version if you ever get the chance of course! Keep the videos coming 😀
