  God bless you man... You took what would have probably ended up in a landfill and gave it life again.  What is completely miraculous about this video is... you didn't restore some 1948 Tucker discovered in a barn in West Virginia... you restored a common piece of retro gaming trash nobody was going to miss.  Even in great shape, these things only go for $40-50.  In the state you received it, someone would struggle getting $5-10 for it and most likely would have ended up in the trash.  What you have done, is you took that poor video game console soul and gave it a second life.   Not for profit... just because you have a love for the tech enough to do something... and it was the right thing to do.  There's going to be a day in the future where these things are almost extinct... and because there are Voultar's of the world... that day might come much much later. I admire what you do, I wish I knew how to do what you do, I wish I had the skills for what you do.  I loved watching this... it really gave me the feelz.  Great job... you've done a great civic duty of the retro video gaming community.

  Seriously listening to you talk about this stuff along with troubleshooting is making me want to get an electrical engineering degree.

  Console restoration videos are so theraputic.

  I got a Sega Genesis for $5 at a Salvation Army recently and it had a very similar issue, just reflowing the solder for me fixed it though!

  Another video full of aesthetic pleasure. The only thing that bothered me was cleaning cases with IPA. For me it's more effective to plunge it in hot water with soap or washing detergent and then scrub it with a toothbrush, like you did, and some soft cloth. The gunk usually comes off much easier that way so you don't have to grind off layers of plastic with melamine sponge. Thanks man, I totally enjoyed the process.

  You are the Big Boss of console mods. &nbsp;Wish you would make more content, as you say you are the old guard of console modding and I&apos;m just getting deep into retro gaming after years of hiatus. &nbsp;This is so enjoyable to watch.<br><br>Thanks for the quality work and quality videos. &nbsp;The dry humour is perfectly on point.

  Everytime I watch a voultar video I feel like I&apos;m watching a Peter north special film!
