How We Restore Your Retro Gaming Systems
Bringing your favorite consoles back to life with care and precision.
Our process is as simple as beating the first level of “Super Mario Bros.”:
- Diagnostic: We’ll inspect your console and give you a quote. The diagnostic is $75 standard or $99 advanced.
- Component-level repair: From stubborn disc drives to finicky cartridge slots, we fix only what’s broken.
- Fun fact: Did you know that blown capacitors are a common culprit in old consoles? Think of them as the “game over” for hardware—until we step in!
- Deep cleaning: Ports, buttons, and components are cleaned for top-notch performance.
- Final testing: Your console is tested before you pick it up.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
Working original consoles get harder to find every year. Repairing your console keeps your own hardware, cartridges and memories together, and it often costs less than hunting for another one.
