PlayStation Restoration

[@the_automaniacs]

Now i want my old PlayStation back

[@CanadianRetro]

Back when consoles makers made systems to last.

[@RobertNES816]

Canadian Retro Yup nice and simple with better construction. No complex clips or tape holding it together, just screws.

[@mignonthon]

Canadian Retro not really, snes, gamegear, saturn doesnt age very well, and PS has a huge lents problem

[@dimitrisb5089]

I've never had a console break and I've owned everything from a ps1 to a ps4. Consoles are, bar some exceptions like the OG Xbox 360 or some versions of the original xbox, pretty reliable.

[@CotyRiddle]

them old playstations made great cd players with very clean audio.

[@Thunderbird1337]

Don't know why, but I like such kind of videos :) Good job, dude!

[@RobertNES816]

Thunderbird1337 thanks!

[@nicknite10]

Thunderbird1337 they motivate me to clean mines after I find a console bc sometimes I get too lazy to do it. lol

[@ricardosuarez4846]

How can some people be so filthy.??? Great job bro looks new again.

[@VincentFunk]

Buddy smoked in the room where that console was kept. That's nicotine residue, comes off pretty easy. In fact, it probably coated the console and preserved the plastic lol...

[@wulfone5961]

It's actually not the nicotine but the tar that stains everything and no it doesn't come off easy.

[@BBS7523]

Someone could have taken a piss I’m not joking

[@demetriusjones9350]

Console was so dirty made the open and close door disfuncional. Lord bless this guy for treating the system like its Suppose to be treated.

[@ProductionLG]

You are sir a legend ! Thnx for restoring this beauty, greetings from Bosnia !

[@unclebugspayton]

For a old system its still a nice looking design.

[@a.b.5372]

A smoker had that console that was nicotine you were wiping off it. The black stuff was dust stuck to the nicotine cause that stuff acts like a magnet for dust.

[@electrifyinglightningbolt]

You did an awesome job on that thing and paid attention to the details!

[@dylanlee4088]

I restored my PlayStation yesterday after it had stickers, a strange metal disc stuck on top, the open button was stuck down and the controller was filthy. I put it away because I didn’t want to play with the disgusting console. It was put away for about ten years.

[@cerdomaldito8700]

You can play a drinking game, just drink a shot each time he says "disgusting". :v

[@jamesgibson5606]

A job well done Robert, bringing a PS console back to life is a great achievement.

[@alexmorarie07]

Hey RobertNES816 do you ever put a little grease around the edges of the power or open button to help prevent sticking or you never really had that problem if you do use silicone grease

[@8bitbubsy]

Really good restoration job right there! I enjoyed the video. :)

[@RobertNES816]

Thank you!

[@mailmanjoe]

When you said someone could have taken a piss on that lid for all you know, I was crying from laughing so hard. LMAO. You never know! People now days do nasty shit like that all the time anymore.

[@thatguyadam6767]

Its fairly well known that the plastic used to make the shells of old consoles will discolor after aging. It was especially prevalent in SNES'. Still possible that it was just stored poorly considering all the dirt and grime in it.

[@marciocattini12]

I think you can leave the case in some hydrogen peroxide to get that yellow tinge off, it's what the 8bit guy used on his old mac restoration!

[@PabloRey18]

Marcio Cattini are u for real

[@kingarthur83rd]

yes he is, check the channel "the 8-bit guy" and his commodore 64 restoration, also the commodore 128D restoration.

[@heyhocodyo97]

I've had mine since i was little and it still looks mint i opened it and blew the dust out but still works great and the plastic isn't yellowed at all

[@arielthedodo7283]

Thank you so much for this restoration I’ve received a ps1 from my cousin for free and I’m going to restore it! Maybe I’ll need to buy new lens for it, but I don’t know yet

[@mtubr]

I love consoles restoration videos. Keep it up! Subscribed!

[@BBS7523]

Guy is so funny where he says someone could have taken a piss

[@butth0le_inspector]

This playstation has seen some shit

[@flyingsalsa]

I recently bought a PlayStation 1 for 75 cents. The console turns on fine and everything, but won't put an image on the TV. I have the correct cords and everything and the cords work fine with my personal PlayStation. I'm not sure what part it needs to work.

[@kingmenace423]

That yellow grime all over the Playstation is cigarette smoke residue! It's terrible how smoke can do that but yeah!

[@D3monL3A1]

as it turns out you dont actually need peroxide for the deyellowing all you need is uv light either from the sun or from a lamp it does take several days thou to get it perfect

[@goobers143]

I see these at used stores for around 5 -10 dollars in new condition. (Cosmetically new)

[@RobertNES816]

Goobers Yeah because nobody wants them except for people like me who like using original hardware.

[@Florian00]

I got one for free and completely cleaned it, sadly it didn't have the cables and a controller

[@RobertNES816]

@@Florian00 that's okay those items are all easy to come by. The PS2 used the same power and video cable's and PS1 controllers are still plentiful.

[@eddyp90]

"House fire" 😂😂😂😂 yeah ok something was on fire all right

[@alexmorarie07]

Hey Robert NES816 if you can make a video on how to test a fuse on a PS1 Power Supply and how to tell if it needs to be replaced i would thoroughly enjoy that but it's up to you take it easy man

[@RobertNES816]

Honestly I never knew the PS1 had a fuse in the power supply lol. They always work for me so I never took a good look at em.

[@MrHubberd]

it was the wrapped cables that caused the yellowing pattern, as it would of been stored like that. ;)

[@scottsyoutubevideos]

this is right up my alley.. subbed.. keep the good work up..

[@Mother-Borg]

Wow - was not expecting you to get rid of all of the yellowing on it.

[@DrDooDooBucket]

The water and bleach did a pretty good job I'll have to try it out.

[@cristychumney157]

the ps one sucks now i have a ps3 and it is beast.

[@Retro__Glitch2313]

Cristy Chumney PS1 a retro rare console I collect consoles in my lifetime I won't sell them

[@wulfone5961]

It shouldn't be rare cause Sony made and sold a whole shit load of them in various different models.

[@Retro__Glitch2313]

WulfOne Sega Dreamcast is rare nearly everyone forgotten about that console

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

Jonathan Alnas they are not rare at all they probably are the most common "retro" console about. In the UK anyway.

[@Gigatech151]

Hello! how did you bleach it? do you have an specific way to do it?

[@rcgeneration824]

Great job there bro. For the life of me I can't understand why some people are such slobs when it comes to taking care of such gems. Now I want one! To me its one of the coolest console designs that Sony ever produced.

[@alexmorarie07]

Well Robert NES816 ordered 2 PS1's and they arrive this week the models are SCPH 5501 and a SCPH 9001 and for under 15 dollars with only 12 dolars in shipping cannot wait to get them working a simple cleaning and greasing the laser i bet will do the trick

[@RobertNES816]

They'll probably work fine. It's the first version that have all the drive issues.

[@MoePower2]

Am I the only one who thought the rocks in the pic was chocolate before clicking this video..? 😂

[@RobertNES816]

MoePower Weirdest looking chocolate I've ever seen 🤣

[@abrahamfrago3728]

I thought it was dog poo

[@minimalexs]

how to remove scratches? thanks

[@RobertNES816]

Ya don't. Trying to remove scratches from plastic will only make the console look worse.

[@IIGrayfoxII]

You just use hydrogen peroxide. Nothing else. This process is known as "Retrobright"

[@butth0le_inspector]

Silent Hill Otherworld Playstation

[@r71490]

i have a SNES that i picked up that has the rotting plastic from the bromine they used in the plastic, do you think the bleaching method would be safe for the yellowing removal?

[@RobertNES816]

degenerate I wouldn't do it. Only because if the rot is bad enough the console might break apart during disassembly.

[@r71490]

Robert NES816 I’ve already disassembled it with no problem. however, their is some cracking/breaking that I see in one of the bottom corners, so I’ll just stick to not using the bleaching method. Thank you for your input

[@matheuslavigne4538]

Added to favorites, realy Nice video, my favorite console is the PlayStation 1!

[@darksskull]

Probably in a smokers house. People who smoke heavily inside, everything tends to get just tons of yellow SHIT all over it. Disgusting habit.

[@wulfone5961]

This is why when I buy something from Ebay I always look for items in new condition or coming from a smoke free home. I don't smoke so I don't want my items covered in that nasty yellow crap. Plus they just stink. It stinks up everything. You can at least wash it out of clothes but electronics is another issue.

[@jpesicka492]

Nice. I got mine in a bowling league back in the day, but i use ps2 or ps3 for ps1 games nowadays.

[@rules4707]

*have you tried turning it off and on again?*

[@RobertNES816]

Yes when it was underwater. It didn't work.....

[@DJGodaryD86]

All the nasty things I had seen and what some people are willing to pay for it you have no idea. Compared to that this ps1 was ultra mint. But yeah nice job, it is nice to see a ps1 living it's life as it suppose to for years to come.

[@Tyler-ly4js]

Same. I've seen awful consoles.

[@krelakuma]

Probably from a home with heavy smokers living in it. Great job !

[@catalynoo]

It was in a smokers house or stored in a kitchen. That was the residue. Fat or nicotine. :)

[@Keithlemonsbang]

I reckon someone used it as a bong

[@vintagesimplicitytractors9464]

The person who had this did not take care of tis

[@ArcDevErik]

No shit.

[@genericuser8157]

To remove that yellowing that's left use a magic eraser 👍

[@unnamed715]

Man...and to think, back when I owned one these I treated it like my first born son. I'd freak out if so much as a speck of dust landed on it! Little did I know how much abuse these old consoles could actually take. Nowadays if you so much as sneeze on a PS4, whoops! BLOD! XD

[@TheWiddaC]

Thought bleach would've taken the symbols of the top

Very gratifying.

Hola soy Nicolás from ARGentina. No se hablar inglés pero algo entiendo. Mi pregunta es si usted puede colocar subtítulos en spansh para que se puede entender mejor todo su trabajo ? Thank you! !

[@painman2260]

I wouldn't use bleach for it would eat the shell but never have tried it but I recommend hydrogen peroxide and sunlight /UV LEDs it seems it would be the same logic but overall nice video and good work.

[@RobertNES816]

I haven't noticed any side effects of this. I have a SNES and NES console I did about four years ago and they're still perfect. I also have two nes controllers I did about the same time. They're still doing okay as well.

[@RhinoXpress]

that ps came from a smokers house

[@Pressed_For_Time]

Got it for free and still overpaid. He should've paid you for taking it lol good restoration!

[@tekken278]

What ratio of bleach to water did ya use man?..or you just poured some in?

[@RobertNES816]

About two pints to every gallon.

[@tekken278]

@@RobertNES816 cool man il try with mine😊

[@Keithlemonsbang]

You tryed rubbing alcohol

[@firmanprawirawardhanafirma5644]

how to do that clean console PS1? what are you use

[@Tyler-ly4js]

Take the console apart and separate the shell from the innards. Scrub the ps1 and place it in an open container with part water and part bleach. Allow it to sit in sun till done.

[@timdrake2020]

It was in a smokers home

[@machomanOOOOHYEEEAH]

Simple, looks like it was in a house fire.

[@chuckwilman8027]

definitely smokers residue

really good job mate, i reckon one more pass and it'd perfect

[@RobertNES816]

ArcadeMAD Yeah it probably would have. I actually sold this console a while ago since I came across another one that is basically brand new.

[@ArcadeCabNBud]

you did a good duty there mate, nice one

[@RobertNES816]

ArcadeMAD Thank you.

[@jetfuelcantmeltsteelmemes3638]

What did you use to bleach the console?

Artur Szarek bleach

[@noside.foxhound]

Why "NES816"?

[@MyklBlue69]

Looks good now 👍

[@pfpvita]

what has it been smoking?

[@Zrca5]

lol it will also work on the snes and n64 try it out.

[@Stecluz]

nice work

[@JCtheComicGeek]

I would have just tossed it minus the wires and bought one for $10....there dirt cheap lol

[@RobertNES816]

Jason's PlaystatioNation But there's no fun in just throwing them away. I always try to fix retro anything just to get it working again or at least salvage parts. Besides I also sold this one for $25 and got a like new 7001 for free.

[@JCtheComicGeek]

Robert NES816 wow good on you! $25 by itself or with some cheap shovelware?

[@RobertNES816]

Jason's PlaystatioNation The console, wires and a standard controller I had sitting around. But truth be told when I was into collecting I had more of these damn things then I wanted lol. I got rid of them all for like $10 or less just make room.

[@RobertNES816]

Jason's PlaystatioNation Now I just have a few mint ones that I actually use instead of just laying around.

[@kennethburnworth7743]

Disgusting!!! I’ve never seen a KZbin video where the person said the word disgusting so many times. Nice job on the ps though. 👍
