This video chronicles all my failed repair attempts over the years. We're dipping into the RGO archives! This includes an N64 full of thermal paste, a 3DO with bad audio (that's already had two videos devoted to it), a Pioneer Laserdisc player with low audio and a Mega Drive that was found abandoned in the Australian desert...
