I go to a local shop. The owner stopped doing online sales after covid, sadly. He fixes everything himself and will even give a list of repairs done on any system. Not only is it a games store, he sells toys and even has a full retro arcade now. The only reason why I don't go there exclusively is that he doesn't sell new games

[bencorrell]

I've had pretty good experiences with them! I've bought a few consoles and games from Lukie over the years and I don't remember having any issues.

[RetroWyvern]

This guy's voice is straight out of 90s; a true repair man.

[hellmynameis]

damn he bought something and it actually worked. What an age we live in

[J-Pow]

For folks questioning whether it's legit due to the blobs, many of the mass-produced pack-in games like Tetris GB had variants with blobs. There's also a Nintendo logo on the PCB in this video suggesting it's legit.

I bought some games from them a few times only had one issue a copy of 10 yard fight the pins was corroded bad and nothing got it to work. They sent me a replacement and told me to throw the bad copy away

[xDrywall]

If you use an eraser and rubbing alcohol pins can still look like that. Fairly common on games that was used regularly / dirtiest.

You didn't mention purchase price steve, how much was it?

[FenneyZombies]

I actually like Lukie Games as their games work and very well. I still own a Ps2 they gave me.

[tylerd]

those pins look like a prime candidate for a pencil eraser, works great on stuff like that

[Johnny_C]

DON'T click down the games in old NES consoles!

They run just fine without being clicked down, and it puts a LOT less stress on the pins.

[florisvanvelthoven]

bros cleaning invisible dirt on those pins

[drneoseraph]

That game did not look like it had an authentic board?

[vnelson]

Thanks for the advice. It is well received since you are a trusted source.

More refurbish reviews. 👍

[MavHunterXX]

Should duckhunter/SMB have epoxy sploosh on it? Looks like a replicant

[OrhanARI]

Use the eraser to clean the gold pads. It will give a very good result.

[cindyjurgens]

If you want those pins to shine, just use Brasso

[kholi]

I had one these NES consoles during my childhood. Good times !

[favoritemustard]

I wonder if there's a price difference between the older gray light gun & the orange one.

[shawns]

I reset the pins on the 72 pin connector and cleaned the pins on the main board like in your two videos here, but it still struggles to load the games. Any suggestions?
