01 · The rescue
Donor consoles are sourced, assessed and stripped to the board. Cracked shells, corroded contacts, dead capacitors — we've seen it all.
Hand-restored · Custom-modded · Play-tested
We rescue vintage game consoles from the shelf of shame, rebuild them by hand, and send them back into battle — restored, re-shelled and modded to last another 30 years.
Every build is one of a kind. When it's gone, it's gone — just like your childhood save file.
LOADING THE BENCH…
This isn't a wipe-down and a new sticker. Every console that leaves the bench has been opened up, cleaned out and rebuilt to outlive us all.
Donor consoles are sourced, assessed and stripped to the board. Cracked shells, corroded contacts, dead capacitors — we've seen it all.
Boards are washed, re-capped and re-soldered. Shells are cleaned, painted or re-shelled. Every connection is re-flowed by hand.
Modern video output, region-free bootlegs-be-gone, controller ports rebuilt — the upgrades that make old hardware live on new TVs.
Burn-in tests, real gameplay on real cartridges, hours of it. If a console can't survive a marathon, it doesn't get shipped.
No console ships until it survives a full gaming session.
Foam, bubble wrap, a sturdy box — it survives the mailman.
From our bench to your living room, wherever that is.
