Junk Sega needs fixing // Let's give it a restoration!

🕹️ In todays video join me as I restore a broken Sega Master system 2, firstly giving it a good clean, and then repairing a broken joystick port, with my own custom designed 3D printed part, printed on my Prusa MK-4 3D-printer. 🟣 I bought this Sega Master System 2 for just £8 from Vinted, in a bundle with 5 other old consoles for £40 (consisting of 2 x Master System 2s, 1 x Mega Drive (aka Genesis), 1 x Mega Drive 2 and an Atari 2600 Jr.) All of them were very grubby and in need of a good restoration and some repairs. 🟣As I don't have this variant of the Master System II in my collection yet, I chose this one to give a full restoration to today, starting with a good clean inside and out, including the motherboard. I then see that it has a cracked joystick port, so repair that with a port I found in my spare parts and a own 3D printed part I quickly design (something to aid with strain relief on the joystick port, designed in Fusion 360), and some soldering work. Finally I give it a test with a cartridge. Choosing to play, both "Alex Kidd" and one of my favourite classic SEGA games, "Sonic the Hedgehog 2"!
