Restoring an INFESTED GameCube

In this episode of Retro Refurb I tackle a Nintendo GameCube console that has been home to many critters over the years. First I take apart the console in order to deep clean and perform some pest removal. I retro bright the very yellowed face plate, replace the battery and then put it all back together inside a better shell.

Is it bad I thought there was going to be like an entire family of spiders in that gamecube? Like, I don't know how that would work but my mind instantly jumped to that thought.

Where can I get a tabbed battery without the yellow around it?

[@RetrostalgiaOfficial]

Could Have Retro Bright The Purple Shell Back

[@RetrostalgiaOfficial]

I don't think it works on the coloured plastics! It just bleaches them
