Fixing the inside of the joystick assembly was some next level shit that I’ve never seen from a restoration channel. Most channels I’ve seen either buy a replacement aftermarket joystick part or just take one from another controller. Absolute beast. This is why you’re my favorite restoration channel.
I've done both, and from my experience the one that was just fixed tends to go back to shit after some years of playing, so you'll have to do it over and over again. Now, the GC replacement will last you a lifetime
@@matheusavila2688 I agree! It probably would’ve been better in the long run to get an aftermarket one, but it’s cool to see a fix was attempted. I dont think I’ve ever seen that before. I’d be curious to see if someone would try to fix worn out parts by 3D printing new ones.

Thank you for making this vid! I actually used this as reference for when I was fixing my old N64 controller because I had the same problem with my joystick. Keep up the great work man!
Nintendo: WARNING! Never fix any controller/ gadget from Nintendo. Send it in or buy a new one. This guy: Hold my soldering iron EDIT: I've never had this many people like my comment! Happy that people enjoyed it (I've never had more than 1 like)
Nintendo's point in saying that is taking apart a controller (or console or game for that part) before the warranty expires voids the warranty. You can only get official repair support from Nintendo as long as you don't break the seals on those electronics. They are also dissuading people who do not know what they are doing from opening up the controller and possibly making it worse.
It’s cleaning and restoring the controller to its original condition or at least close to original condition. Make it a collector’s item, or make it ready for more use. It’s just like maintaining a car. If un maintained the car breaks down faster.
This is pure art, not just because of the end result being good but because he records it all, as fixing and recording at the same time with this level of quality must be hard too do.
I watched this with nostalgia of taking apart my controller to figure out why some of my buttons weren't working. I was only 10 so I only had screwdrivers to work with and couldn't do anything if something was legit busted. This was very pleasing to watch and I appreciate it a lot. I love seeing how it all works and how it can be restored. Such dedication!
I swear when I hear my kids or grandkids say “oh wow! An old Nintendo Switch? That’s so retro!” I’m going to cry real tears. I remember when the Wii first came out, and now it’s on its way to being retro. Rip.
People are already fixing broken joycons on the regular, haha. I had gone through 3 by the time I just decided to get the parts and tools and fix them. Now I have backups until the next one breaks.
I've restored many consoles and peripherals over the years and you would be surprised how well chucking all the plastic in the dishwasher is. Also polishing with smooth peanut butter gives it a nice shine. No joke.

I wonder who the first person was that thought: “hey this plastic is yellow, I’m gonna stick it in a random chemical and put uv light shining on it... that’s what will solve my problem!”
People who know chemistry will probably know the basic effects of hydrogen peroxide. Even i know that peroxide takes colour out of things. I think the UV lights just accelerate the process.
I just love how you're playing raid while wearing gloves lmaooo oh and because raid is sponsoring you, I wont mind it since it's you of all people that get the sponsor
They got the joystick right on the GC. If I'm remembering correctly, part of the reason N64 joysticks were wearing out was due to the axis being made of plastic, which was shaved down over an extended period of time / usage. I think Nintendo corrected that issue by swapping the axis material to metal, thus reducing the wear on the axis.
I’ve always loved your videos and your channel so I’m glad to see you getting sponsors. Any type of sponsor like Raid is big for any creator of any size. Keep up the hard work and thank you for entertaining many people during everything we’re experiencing!
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER !! My joystick was going nuts..loose, and in the game, my guy kept walking forward by itself.. 😡 Wow ! I am amazed that I am now a certified Nintendo 64 controller professional mechanic. Thanks for the tutorial.
This guy wastes like an hour of his life finding random video-game accessories and consoles in the junk just so he wastes another day and a half fixing it for his UA-cam channel. What a legend.
"Largest deposit of hand sweat ive ever seen." Boy, I have worked on worse. The N64 has a large scar that is a gash in the controller, front and center. And the amount of sweat? Insane. Also its Joystick was so floppy it touched the sides, and it has a different board inside.
if anyone has trouble like me getting the clip that was removed at 4:50 in working order again, here is how you fix it. Both ends of the spring needs to face down when you insert it back. When you removed the clip, the overhead end jumps to the other side. Simple hold it down with your finger when you insert it back, and everything should work fine. Also for removing the clip, I used the pointy part of my plastic spudger to push the sides in from below the handle on the outside of the controller. This is right when they are located and if you push the clip a bit down, you might be able to see the pivot points that you need to press inwards. I manage to get them lose without much force that way, which limit the risk of damaging this part.

Now, the Nintendo 64 Controller
Awesome!!
Imagine being his kid and like "hey dad u know where my toothbrush went?" and he give his toothbrush.
Amazing work. Even legitimately fixed the joystick. Next level stuff. I’d buy that N64 + original controller from you.
We need more Ducktor action! ❤️
14:13 Just Realized The Internals Of a N64 controller looks like a snes controller.......
WAIT A SECOND
"A bit yellowed"
That controller looks more toasted than a Kardashian.
They revoke Ducktor's medical license. I heard he's a quack doctor.

This guy wastes like an hour of his life finding random video-game accessories and consoles in the junk just so he wastes another day and a half fixing it for his UA-cam channel. What a legend.
Not really a waste tbh. Each video makes mad cash, and if he sells them after restoration that's another quick buck
I wasn’t expecting him to sound like that
"Largest deposit of hand sweat ive ever seen."
Boy, I have worked on worse. The N64 has a large scar that is a gash in the controller, front and center. And the amount of sweat? Insane. Also its Joystick was so floppy it touched the sides, and it has a different board inside.
if anyone has trouble like me getting the clip that was removed at 4:50 in working order again, here is how you fix it. Both ends of the spring needs to face down when you insert it back. When you removed the clip, the overhead end jumps to the other side. Simple hold it down with your finger when you insert it back, and everything should work fine.
Also for removing the clip, I used the pointy part of my plastic spudger to push the sides in from below the handle on the outside of the controller. This is right when they are located and if you push the clip a bit down, you might be able to see the pivot points that you need to press inwards. I manage to get them lose without much force that way, which limit the risk of damaging this part.
My IPA brings all the boys to the yard and they’re like: “ow”
Absolutely love this channel! Interesting, entertaining and soothing all at the same time. Keep the tinkering coming sir.
This brings so much joy to my heart, seeing old consoles and controllers getting a new chance at life, big thumbs up for this
"i'll get you next time"
And he did it

Cool! The special edition gold contr-
Oh.
I love how I just saw one of these on my recommended page and I’ve been watching these a lot
HOLD UP! Bro, is this your actual voice?!?! The restorer of all things nostalgia has spoken!
Sounds like text to speech it cant be
The most cruel prank: Make the controller have NO screws and tell somebody to play it 😈
Very nice! They both look brand new!
