Restoring an Original Sony PlayStation | Retro Repair Guy Episode 1
Retro Repair Guy restores an original Sony PlayStation from 1997. I replaced the capacitors in the power supply, removed the mod, and clean it all up. This vintage gaming console is now ready for a new life and some cool retro gaming action.
The very first episode of the Retro Repair Guy, a series aimed at retro and vintage electronic repair and restoration.
*** I REMADE THIS EPISODE AND INCLUDED THE RESTORATION OF THE CONTROLLER ***
*** THERE'S ALSO A FOLLOW UP EPISODE ON HOW TO CHANGE THE LASER UNIT ***
