  • 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 👌

    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.

      You're right. They are. I have the baseball, and football versions and both of them have triangle screws.

      😂😂😂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 🙂

    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!

      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.

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  Рік тому +3

      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!

      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. 👍

      @@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.
