Tysy is one of the better channels but 99% of restoration videos around are “watch me clean this thing that I intentionally made dirty beforehand”…

The Retro Future made a hilarious parody of those videos, I think he was pretty fed up with them

I loved the Retro Future even before he took a stance on these fake restos. It's a bit crazy how much of the old console resto scene is quite fake after seeing Elliot's videos about it. I respect the hell out of that guy

Yeah he’s one of my favorites, I think he had a pretty rough year last year and you could see it in his content but it seems like things have been better for him lately - his Japan videos are really cool.
I’d forgotten about TRF and haven’t watched since he did the Sony Walkman video years ago.

Honestly the thumbnail literally looks like they made it dirty on purpose with a coffee/tea soaked rag. The only reason I believe it isnt is because Tysy uploaded it.
on the other hand it’s tantalizingly close to a burnished gold. They should try to bring out some sort of metallic tone on it and just take it the rest of the way there.

Tysytube is great. I also highly recommend OddTinkering for console restorations. They do a great job.

Thanks. Thats pretty funny and spot on.

on the one hand that’s a gross yellow-brown color
