Collection of restored vintage video game consoles and a CRT television

Hand-restored · Custom-modded · Play-tested

Old consoles. New life.

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.

Fresh off the bench

Every build is one of a kind. When it's gone, it's gone — just like your childhood save file.

LOADING THE BENCH…

The craft

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.

01 · The rescue

Donor consoles are sourced, assessed and stripped to the board. Cracked shells, corroded contacts, dead capacitors — we've seen it all.

02 · The rebuild

Boards are washed, re-capped and re-soldered. Shells are cleaned, painted or re-shelled. Every connection is re-flowed by hand.

03 · The mods

Modern video output, region-free bootlegs-be-gone, controller ports rebuilt — the upgrades that make old hardware live on new TVs.

04 · The proving

Burn-in tests, real gameplay on real cartridges, hours of it. If a console can't survive a marathon, it doesn't get shipped.

Play-tested for hours

No console ships until it survives a full gaming session.

Packed like treasure

Foam, bubble wrap, a sturdy box — it survives the mailman.

Ships worldwide

From our bench to your living room, wherever that is.
