- I bought a faulty vintage Mattel Soccer game from eBay. It was advertised as spares or repair, and had something rattling around inside! Let's see what horrors await inside!

I think that is the first time I've heard the cogs in your brain whirring. Well done working that out without a 2nd Mattel Soccer game to copy. Great video Mick 👌
Thanks Vince 👍. Yes it was a bit of weird that one.
Nice fix, another faulty vintage game saved :) Who knows, those triangle head screws might be original ones, as my Mattel Intellivision game cartridges also have those triangle head screws.
Thanks Mr JSV. I didn't know that! 👍
You're right. They are. I have the baseball, and football versions and both of them have triangle screws.
Classic farmer hands. I love it. Great job mick.
😂😂😂yes I was in a hurry to do this one as it's when I was trying to do 2 videos a week, and just before that I'd been working on the car, washed my hands but totally forgot to scrub my nails. I pay more attention now 🙂
you are always good at working through the problems.
Thanks js I've always liked figuring things out and try to logically work through the problem. My brain just seems to be wired like that.
Nice little game of find the missing components, another game saved from the bin, but great fix keep up the great work
Thanks Morten. Probably not the most exciting video but I never know what I'm going to end up with from Ebay and what condition it's going to be in.
@@BuyitFixit buying from eBay is like spinning the wheel and seeing where it lands, but I enjoy being part of the journey.
Those are the factory screws. I had this as a child.
Thanks Al, I thought they may have been something added by the previous owner. Thanks for clearing that up!
The arrows help you move around to score a goal. The other dots are the opposing team that will block you from scoring. The two soccer buttons are your shooters. When you score, you'll know it. Plus, it'll show a number at the bottom of the screen how many goals you make! I know, because I have this same game and it still works perfectly!
Nice 👍
Really nice effort, it looked butchered to death at first, why they would ruin it like that is beyond me really. Nevertheless, you brought it back to life as you do, well done again sir 👍😊👏
Thanks 👍Yes, I've no idea what they did to it? Perhaps they took the parts off for something else 🤷♂️
Nice fix! Well done.
Thanks Dorffmeister 👍
When i was a kid we would check the power level of 9 volt batteries with our tongue.
I still do that to this day 😂😂😂

Tri-wing screw commonly used in Nintendo.
I thought tri-wing are like a Y shape like on the Nintendo Wii. These were more of a triangle shaped hole?
dont know if you noticed but most of this video is nearly out of shot until about 12 minutes when you moved it back to center. nothing can be done about it but it should be mentioned.
Yes. Problem is I can't see what the camera is recording. I need a better set up really. I'm just using and old iPhone 6s recording these and I can't see the screen as it's on a mount above where I'm working . I try to use the mat ad a guide but it doesn't always quite work as in this instance. I've only really been doing this for a few months so it's all still learning for me too!
@@BuyitFixit yeah its hard to do these things. You are doing well with what you have
Thanks JS. Yes it's not until you start doing it you realise the effort pitfalls and problems. Like hand cleanliness and focus issues, getting things in shot, sound levels, editing, using multiple cameras, and remembering to make sure the camera is recording like in a video I thought was recording last week.. which wasn't recording for about 10 minutes. Still learning but hopefully improving over time. 👍
@BuyitFixit yeah its why i dont ever edit lol. I just post as-is. Its too much work. Thank you for your time and effort
👍👍👍👍
Seems someones part fix or something they robbed parts out for another device, nice fix anyway.
Thanks Andi!
heh yeah was going to say looks like they stole the parts from it
👍Thanks JS
Faulty. Vintage. Mattel. Soccer. Can. l. Save. It
Look at the state of your fingernails. They’re proper grim, that’s put me off my tea. Urghhhh.
I think I'd been working on the car earlier and was covered in oil as the crankshaft oil seal has gone. Gearbox has to come out :(
@@BuyitFixit I must say as much as I really enjoy your videos, hand prep on this type of video on UA-cam is a must. I think Jack Sam's comment was a bit harsh, but true. Keep up the good work. Look at Vinces beautiful hands, and he works on a roller. :-)
Yes good point and it is definitely noted. I know vince wears gloves a lot too. I've never been able to get away with gloves I need to feel things like nuts and bolts. Also it's been a bit of a strain lately trying to do multiple things like videos, repairing cars and running a farm too...
@@BuyitFixit I totally understand you. But give up the farm/ and car repairs but keep fixing things, I'm learning quite a bit. You never know like Vince you get an opportunity of your own TV show. Yep check out his latest video and sponsorship too. John
@@jonome9565 Thanks John 👍. I already watched the Dyson fan yesterday, so I saw and heard about the TV and sponsors which is great. I know Vince does it full time, and I don't actually make anything from UA-cam yet. I've not had a single penny to date. Hopefully I may cover some cost of doing it at some point, but I think it would be a very long time before I make anything close to a basic wage unfortunately.
Man,you should wash your hands and clean your fingernails,that is disgusting ,the amount of filth on your hands
Agree. I had been working changing the gearbox on my car, and I needed to do a video. I now pay much more attention.
