u cant buy em much anymore

need to make a case for that for sure

How do you upgrade the exsdos ?

Is there something special about that water? They sell distilled water in stores really $1 or $2 a gallon by the other water here. People use it for humidfiers and drink it.

Just finish your great work in one video per game please, damnit.

Oui ❤

Weird isopropyl rubbing alcohol is $1 or $2 here in the US. That is 70% but good enough for about anything l. Can find 91% under $5 too. 99% shouldn't really be needed i think.

Give up OR buy yourself a little 3d printer and make your own cases.

yes please continue away my friend, now all you need is a case for them

Yes! Another survivor! Congrats!!

The rubber abrasive tip could also be described as a satanic Jelly Tot.

try PCC15 cleanser for that kind of job :)

Here's a tip; instead of removing those DE9 support thingies (thanks for that no-nonsense explanation BTW.), just shake your head a bit and hope for some of those really flat-headed screws in the correct size to fall out. There's really no need to remove those support thingies or gluing anything. I really hate glue, because I somehow always manage to get it everywhere else than where I want it to go. I have also had to resort to buying assortment boxes of all kinds of screws, since I've used that head shaking lifehack so much by now, that all that now drops out are the remaining load-baring 9" nails. 😅

Why not try Acetone? It's IPA on steroids.

WD-40 works quite well when removing soot. Might be worth a try on the next one.

Mark here's a challenge for you, should you choose to accept it. Some Sega Master System games were released in Japan (for the Sega Mk III) bundled with and/or requiring a paddle controller, but these are now annoyingly expensive, and as far as I know there has never been a third-party option. So I was wondering if it would be possible to convert a 2600 paddle? One potential issue is the Sega having two independent fire buttons, so may need two donor controllers (and some dremel action).

Excellent Video Mark, nice to see another damaged cart getting resurrected, I think it would be nice to see it completed and housed in a case.

Hi Mark. Q1. What chip tester do you suggest? Q2. At 8:47, you suggest it is difficult filming around a camera. Is there another way around this? /s

Always warms my cockles to see any game being rescued from oblivion.

Loving these 'f u' to the fire videos!

Part 2 where you make a cartridge shell and label?

hahaha, cant stop lol...those CN seller, too good to be truth

"since global events destroyed my livelihood" wait what?

Instead of IPA, a good idea would be to use acetone. That would remove ABS soot. But depending on how damaged the pcb is... it might make the damage worse if it soaks in and breaks up the resin in the pcb

It looks like something from Pompeii. The plastic has turned back into carbon and maybe it insulated the circuit board from the worst of the heat. Amazing. Obviously, Yes to continue. You're such a tease! 😄

Isnt it Just a matter of using a dremmel or fine grinding pen to remover some material from the sides of the screw posts? Couple of MM either side should do the trick.

Excellent work my friend!

Good work but ultimately unsatisfied without the finished result 😔

Even though your cart was so badly damaged, I still could recognize the ribs around the bottom of the case that showed that it was an Activision cart before you revealed the board. I suppose my dislike of their shapes, as opposed to the shapes of actual Coleco carts had bothered me ever since I was 13 back in 1982 and would keep my games in a case. I' m glad to see you restoring these, and sorry for your losses and your families' losses back then in the fire. -Bob

I vote yes❤

I have heard that using three fingers can finish the job quicker, but don't go past the 2nd knuckle.

Buck Rogers was the best with the other AD&D games you could transfer the part to the next continuous game.

You have a lot of patience. I would have gone after those pads with a *very light grit* sandpaper.

@Mark - You could just file the inner sides of the screw posts flat so the PCB would fit in between the two. It doesn't look like it would have taken much filing down as the PCB looked like it was already just squeezing in and the square tabs would have kept the PCB in place. Not sure why you didn't at least try that option.

I always have a white soft eraser to clean the corrosion from stuff like this

Of course you have to finish it!!

H.E.R.O. is indeed a great title from the Activision library. Congrats Mark on another ColecoVision cart resurrection!

As long as it has the original ROM chips, even with a reproduction PCB - it’s still the original game 😊

Oh, that's a classic, well worth saving. :)

Congratulations on recovering another one! By the way, how is the repair of "Pitstop" going?

It must be a continue, while there are still credits left in the machine! It certainly shouldn't be a 'Game Over' or a restart; especially when you are so far into it now!👾⚡😵‍💫

It looks like the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from evil of dead, thought it was going to bite in your hand. 😂

I think maybe acetone or lighter fluid is a better non abrasive option than IPA for this. Since it probably will dissolve the plastics from the shell aswell ass the soot.

Awh... my H.E.R.O. ❤❤

Woah, hero. What a win.

legend has it that the red side of the edge connector cleaning tool can remove pencil marks from paper

Needed more marinara.
