FIXING UP OLD ATARI VIDEO GAMES

Video Description

SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcaUWDTWGJgzHfOnWPmhkkg?sub_confirmation=1 In this video game I take an old Atari game that was left for dead - and breathe new life into it. DIY and vintage video games go together. I used Caig Deoxit D5 to clean the contacts, and Shoe Laundry sneaker cleaner to clean up the plastic. Hope that helps some folks looking to clean their old Atari cartridges up - and keep retro gaming alive....#readiysteadiy #Atari2600 #restoration CHANNEL STATEMENT: This is a channel about my relationship with stuff. We all need to have a better relationship with the stuff in our lives - we have too much of it, and most of it’s junk. If nothing else I hope you take away with you an interest in the stuff in your life - a curiosity for how it’s made - why it’s good or bad - and perhaps even how build new stuff or fix what you’ve got. Having said that - the internet is a terrible place to learn anything. Unless you independently verify what you learn - you’ll never know if it was right or wrong or made up completely…. Unfortunately disinformation is both the currency and the bane of our era. I’m no expert in anything you’ll see here. I don’t want you to think that I am. Through my job I have access to people who are - and I’ve learned from them over the last couple of decades and become someone who is curious about stuff, brave about stuff , and foolish enough to try and make a youtube channel about my relationship with stuff all at the same time. PLEASE READ: In making this channel I will put more effort into making the content accurate, safe and correct than most - but that doesn’t mean I can’t be wrong. I encourage you not to copy things you see here verbatim but build on them - discuss them with experts in your life, and make them better - make them work safely for you. We all need to figure out a better way to own stuff - this channel is meant to illustrate my experience with that - and hopefully provide some inspiration for you to do the same…. In the same way I have to take responsibility for the outcome of my endeavours here, and my own safety - you have to do the same…..
