Missed opportunity to use "Subcon" instead of dreamland, since Subcon is a reference to SMB2 (or Super Mario USA) and that game's events were all a dream.
@@TheRetroFuture Hmm, interesting stuff! I thought it sounded wonky but couldn't tell if it was because it was old tech or aged tech. Thank you Retro Future Guy! 😄
I've been waiting on this challenge. Glad you are participating Elliott. Good luck to Steve @tronicsfix, Vince @mymatevince, Elliot @retrofuture, Paul @tampatec and Chris @Gadgetuk164.
great to see another youtuber doing these challenges - shame it didnt really need fixing. Although why do you refer to each PCB has a motherboard? surely they are simply just a PCB.
Awesome video but I would have liked to see you iron the box and see how it turned out. Don’t sell yourself short. Repairing the box counts as a repair too and totally makes this worthy of the challenge imo.
You know, I didn't realize this actually existed. But, now that I know, I wonder what else Nintendo had back then, this is amazing. And, yes, I would like one.
I actually really want that clock.... Not cause it’s old and all, but cause I find it looks nice and also, it’s a FREAKIN MARIO CLOCK!,!!!!!!! I never knew they existed until today!
Didn’t know that the iPhone keeps the face recognition camera on when you look at your phone normally. I guess keeps display from timing out. You can see the blinking light in the beginning when he is reading off his phone.
I enjoyed watching all of the eBay challenges. eBay takes too much, esp on auctions. But glad you were able to at least get some good use on the items you fixed and gave away. Looking forward to the next one, maybe for next challenge, fix things people donate and sell on eBay? That way, it's all profit.

Fliping the switch and cleaning? that is the fix? That moment when @vince realise the he bought a so sofisticated mechanical watch with tiny components and spent more than a week fixing it and finaly sold as faulty for spares or repair.
isopropyl alcohol is very bad for the speaker shroud. I have to think by having watched the other's channels that they would not have submitted this. the others have had to re-order parts and wait for themselves, so how is it that you did not have enough time to submit something else, that was actually, not broken?
Hi, I have a 1989 gameboy that has been looked after and kept in a carry case ... it’s just stopped working totally dead no light with fresh batteries .... could you fix it for a video maybee?
Jimmy Banana unfortunately, no but I’m not sure but maybe if when you send the Gameboy you can try putting a letter in the boxy saying something like: can please return? [insert your mail code thingy here] but I’d only try that if I’d be willing to maybe loose my Gameboy. But yeah, that’s all the info I can provide for now
Hi guys, im currently trying to repair an xbox one controller trigger. The spring that pushes it back into place isnt sitting right, i bought a replacement and put it on but it still just spins round that bar. Is anyone able to give me some advice on what im missing?
I saw a joke article/post years ago about this thing on i-mockery.com that went through the good the bad and the ugly, memorabilia from Nintendo in the 80s and early 90s. They mentioned how cringe worthy this alarm clocks voice sounded, but I never heard how hilariously bad it was until now.
They should remake this alarm clock with Charles' voice. "Wakey, wakey! It's-a time to leave dreamland!"

12:40 just like in Toy Story 2 when that guy cleans up Woody.
LWBII00 is glad I’m not the only one who thought that
Damn. I was half an hour late with my comment.
You can't rush art!
Love this item! Very cool. Nice work.
Glad you liked it!
"wake up it's time to leave Dreamland" ahh moment 😩
I had one just like this!...it fell off my shelf when I was younger...
I hate myself.
Don't hate yourself, hate your shelf.
aldodanielr You’re so cleaver.
@@turtlemanifesto Nice one!
Cue rimshost
Nice video Elliot, I was hoping you would flip the Hi/Low switch over and you did :-) Good job mate.
Nice seeing you here Vince 😁
I’m keen to give this clock a clean with a little bit of Mr. Sheen; now it’s the shiniest Mario clock I’ve ever seen!
**Sees himself out**
It's so satisfying seeing stuff like this getting repaired.
I had this clock as a kid "wake up its time to leave dream land"
Is there anyway to fix the speaker in clarity or is that how it always sounded?
It’s probably how it always sounded. I could replace the speaker with another one but it may not make any difference.
@@TheRetroFuture Hmm, interesting stuff! I thought it sounded wonky but couldn't tell if it was because it was old tech or aged tech. Thank you Retro Future Guy! 😄
it's a low quality recording on the chip; the speaker is fully functional
I'm really glad that you were able to fix it! Good job man!
Great video Liked 👍. Cool talking Mario but never noticed before sometimes Mario has blonde ish hair and sometimes black, strange. 🤔
6:04 smooth😎
i've been looking for this video, but you didn't have the challenge in the title! lol...love the channel...keep it up!
I have one but the time is just flashing and the buttons won't do anything some help would be appreciated
The alarm clock is lovely😍
Cool repair, i love this challenge! :)
Great video. My Mate Vince did something similar to this. Really enjoyed it.
I've been waiting on this challenge. Glad you are participating Elliott.
Good luck to Steve @tronicsfix, Vince @mymatevince, Elliot @retrofuture, Paul @tampatec and Chris @Gadgetuk164.
Do you know how to set the time and alarm at all I bought one and I cannot figure it out 😂
i have one but i broke the little screen it comes with and i don’t know what’s the name of it to fix it
great to see another youtuber doing these challenges - shame it didnt really need fixing. Although why do you refer to each PCB has a motherboard? surely they are simply just a PCB.
That's one nice Protective case on your phone Elliot
the end was like a weird woody moment :P
3:28 - Because HI stands for HInt and LO stands for LOuder.
BRO i had the same problem but mine kept saying " I know where you live" and "Come outside into the white van" but still pretty relateable
i think that was the guy outside your window

9:45 "No match for my girlfriend's makeup brush...." Self condemned dead man walking!! (great vid - subscribed)
Very nice! Looks mint.
Steve didn't get so lucky on his first item....
Awesome idea, and nice to see other retro items on the channel :)
You found it lying in the wild broken and shattered, and you wiped it in alcohol to fix it, well done
I loved this video! Please do more of these fixes to electronic toys/gadgets
wake up, its time to leave dreamland.
Watch MMV and TF all day every day. 1st time here, subbed, GL2U!!!
IPA and a qtip is a silver bullet for anyone that restores/fixes any retro electronics
Was this clock always blond or did the color fade over time?
Awesome video but I would have liked to see you iron the box and see how it turned out. Don’t sell yourself short. Repairing the box counts as a repair too and totally makes this worthy of the challenge imo.
where did you get that screw driver set that i see you use all the time.
Can you please put eBay challenge in your title. Taken me a while to find it. Good video though.
You know, I didn't realize this actually existed.
But, now that I know, I wonder what else Nintendo had back then, this is amazing.
And, yes, I would like one.
RollieMcFly27 I’m old enough to remember the World of Nintendo section at Toys R Us - imagine a couple aisles full of stuff like this.
12:44 Toy story 2 vibes
YOU CANT RUSH ART
I actually really want that clock.... Not cause it’s old and all, but cause I find it looks nice and also, it’s a FREAKIN MARIO CLOCK!,!!!!!!! I never knew they existed until today!
I could use a bath like that. Some of my wires are crossed as well... Oh wait...
This video reminds me of Woody being cleaned and repaired in Toy Story 2 lol

I would like to see this same video in 5 years with Alarmo
Wake up it's time to leave Dreamland😂
That makeup brush is so cute 😂
I have this one as well! Also faulty. I might check it in the near future
Is Gatis from Latvia?
Yes

cool to see you involved in the challenge...really enjoyed the ones Vince has done in the past
Im loving the retro fixs you been doing, and the new series your starting with this video :D
Mario phone: Hey who you wanna call?
Guy: B#$CH
Mario phone: Okie dokie calling... B&$CH
I'm guessing that volume switch was put in upside down from the factory
The pitch was lower when set to high. It was most likely the batteries.
Wake up it's time to leave dreamland!
I would have changed the speaker
That would have been an added bonus to see that happen
Your videos are always awesome bro
I've still got one of these. :D
Nintendo sure messed up with this isn’t an alarm clock supposed to have the time visible from more than a foot away.
do you fix PS4 controllers?
Blonde hair Mario? I'm in the wrong universe.
Not blonde, the brown has faded
Good luck Elliott!
Uhhh.. a very nice challenge - let's see what you came up with.
Also: Mario has ligh brown hair!?
Can you post a pic of the box after you restored it on Twitter? really curious to see how it turned out
Fliping the switch and cleaning?
that is the fix?
That moment when @vince realise the he bought a so sofisticated mechanical watch with tiny components and spent more than a week fixing it and finaly sold as faulty for spares or repair.
that is alarm clock super rare!

@@TheRetroFuture Just a question of honor and no, I don't take you seriously!
wake up it's time to leave dreamland
I still prefer toy story cleaning woody scene
I got one in 92 for my birthday
Lots of these sorts of clocks in the early 1990s had a thunderberds one with thunderbird 2, takes me back
Great Job Elliot...
I think I have a Game Boy alarm clock somewhere, either way, it isn't as cool as this!
Nice job shame you didn't get him to sound like Mario... ☺
Trevor Random he sounded like that when he was made but not just that but also that’s how Mario originally sounded like
this was made before charles marinet was mario's voice actor lol
That item can’t be found on eBay anymore
Hi, I have a 1989 gameboy that has been looked after and kept in a carry case ... it’s just stopped working totally dead no light with fresh batteries .... could you fix it for a video maybee?
Jimmy Banana send it to his PEO box. I think it’s in the description
Will check that out thanks dude , will he send it back to me you think if he fixes it ?
Jimmy Banana unfortunately, no but I’m not sure but maybe if when you send the Gameboy you can try putting a letter in the boxy saying something like: can please return?

It's nice to know i'm not the only one that uses makeup brushes to dust electronics.
At my girlfriends expense!

I STILL HAVE THIS!! LOL
I love this new repair gender
i want one
Ah yes, another cleaning video.
Heh, I bet your girlfriend loved you using her makeup brush for dust! I won't tell her if you don't 😉
Makeup brushes can be bought cheaply, you don't need to steal your girlfriend's!
Hey man dope video as usual! I have a lot of consoles etc. i think you might be interested. Is there any way to contact you?
Don't forget to clean your rubbers if you arent using new ones
Hey bro which phone is yours??! Tell me!
Kinda wanted to see you fix the box tbh
Is it meant to sound slow?
yes; those sound chips didn't allow continuously variable playback speed, so they just had to pick the closest speed setting
You should put the challenge name in the video title... wasn't easy to figure out which video was part of the series.
