Someone posted their fixed up NES earlier. Here's a pretty awesome ASMR-styled restoration of a Super Nintendo

Tysy is one of the better channels but 99% of restoration videos around are "watch me clean this thing that I intentionally made dirty beforehand"...
- The Retro Future made a hilarious parody of those videos, I think he was pretty fed up with them
  
  I loved the Retro Future even before he took a stance on these fake restos. It's a bit crazy how much of the old console resto scene is quite fake after seeing Elliot's videos about it. I respect the hell out of that guy
  
  Thanks. Thats pretty funny and spot on.
  
  I'd forgotten about TRF and haven't watched since he did the Sony Walkman video years ago.
- Honestly the thumbnail literally looks like they made it dirty on purpose with a coffee/tea soaked rag. The only reason I believe it isnt is because Tysy uploaded it.
on the one hand that's a gross yellow-brown color

on the other hand it's tantalizingly close to a burnished gold. They should try to bring out some sort of metallic tone on it and just take it the rest of the way there.
Tysytube is great. I also highly recommend OddTinkering for console restorations. They do a great job.
