In this episode I restore a popular 3rd party arcade controller for the SNES. It's calles Super Advance and it was made by Asciiware. The all the buttons and switches are not working and the console has yellowed a little.

I started the project with disassembly. Unlike Nintendo products this doesn't require any special screw drivers, jsut a normal phillips head will be enough and even all the screws are the same size. After the disassembly I quickly noticed the sliders on the controllers hacve small pieces of metal that had damaged the protective coating on the circuit board and even the traces on the board. I used a conductive silver paint to repoair the broken traces and a special clear coat to protect the board teh next 30 years or so.

To remove the yellowing I used method cvalled retrobrighting. It uses hydrogen peroxide to remove the yellowing from the plastic. Here's my tutorial on the method: https://youtu.be/jdWRsjnVD3s
