Not just cleaning a controller, shining up my mental health.

Love the use of the screen sucker to remove the bottom piece, I'd of just tipped that upside-down and no doubt lost several pieces of important things to the abyss that is called "under the desk".

I expected more inside the joystick considering it’s size. Great job as usual.

Man this arcade stick was such a good little accessory for playing fighting games on the PS1. Gone are the days of grabbing the controller like a crab. Glad this is seeing a restoration!

Amazing job!!! I loved the bit where the Ducktor was checking his reflection in the newly polished knob for the joystick!!! 🕹😂

Wow. This is the first time I see such a fight stick for PS1. Although in my whole life a lot of different devices have passed me by, both through my hands and seen in stores.

Sir! Thank You for all that restoration videos. It`s a very calming experience for me, and all the community here (I hope so!)! I feel glad that I can watch a professional way to restore an oldschool electronics, as a 90`s kid myself. All the best wishes for you Sir! Best wishes from Poland!

The Tekken 3 gameplay definitely brought back memories of my button mashing days. Especially when it came to Tekken games, was always satisfying randomly pulling off that character's 1 hit KO move.🤣

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlByu1ftHdk&t=120">2:00</a> it always amazes me how much extra space is inside some of these old devices…granted this is designed to be like an arcade style control board on your lap or on a surface.  But I mean you could practically rent that space out.

Such an interesting piece of tech. I've never heard of this until you made a video on it.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlByu1ftHdk&t=345">5:45</a> you should remove that C-clamp to completely disassemble the stick and dip silicone paste between moving parts instead of oil. Works better that way since it's just plastic.
