orangest #1 Posted December 30, 2010 Was doing some end of the year sorting around in my apartment's outdoor storage shed when I came across these... Oops. Guess I should cover them next time. And check the shed more frequently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keilbaca #2 Posted December 30, 2010 I love restoration projects. What would you want for them? EDIT: Whoops, I thought I was in the market place forum still. Disregard. Still, that's kinda eh. Yeah that's bad... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlowCoder #4 Posted December 30, 2010 Shame! But at least you know you won't be bored next time you think you have nothing to do! I also enjoy restoration jobs, and would love to get my hands on something so ... filthy. Oh, wait ... all I need to do is buy from eBay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+save2600 #7 Posted December 30, 2010 If its just surface grunge, I bet they'll clean up just fine. Take 'em apart and give the cases a bath! lol Novus No. 1 works extremely well on plastics too (especially the transparent pieces as it won't scratch 'em).

Video #10 Posted December 30, 2010 Wow, some zombie handhelds. That's pretty dirty, though it'll be prettier when their clean, right? For the most part, those single function handhelds are pretty easy to clean though, just take the case off, and scrub the outside down good with soap and water, and you should be able to get them looking good as new (just be careful of labels) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlowCoder #11 Posted December 30, 2010 orangest lives above a crematorium. Knowing that we breathe in people's dead skin every day is bad enough, but this ... this is just over the top! *throw up frowny* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orangest #12 Posted December 31, 2010 orangest lives above a crematorium. Knowing that we breathe in people's dead skin every day is bad enough, but this ... this is just over the top! *throw up frowny* Don't worry, I'm not crematorium-adjacent... I just live within the pristine atmosphere of Los Angeles. It's probably been at least a year since I last rummaged though, but probably more based on the buildup. I've cleaned off the top layers of muck, and still need to get into the nooks and crannies. Thanks for the cleaning suggestions. And genius maneuver #2 on my part: leaving the batteries in the Blip all this time. Time for the baking soda... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Video #19 Posted January 4, 2011 What are those? They are sure dirty. The right one looks like a "blip" (pong knockoff) the middle one I think is a raceing game, though I can't remember the name (I actually had both of those way back when) but I don't know what the left one is.
