I really like the Master System, especially its cheerful colour palette. Nice work, sir!

HAHA! Just spotted the 8-bit window cleaner! Great video, awesome tip on the replacement front face and also nice easter egg too!!!

I had to hide the branded bottle because it was on the screen so long and who do we all think about when it comes to window cleaner !!!! Thanks for watching 😁

That is one shiny SMS! Lovely stuff!

A good way to get rid of sticker residue is Lighter fuel as it just softens it and dissolves some of the more stubbon stuff, just use some IPA after to get rid of any left over fuel.

I should have cleaned that up before and then I could have used something a bit more aggressive.

Great job! :) Beautiful looking SMS!

Beautiful work sir. I've got an SMS shell I'm going to use to make the least mini SMS Mini ever with a resp Pi so I'm going to try and use some of these cleaning tips on it first.

The Novus sets are not cheap and they don't include enough of the cleaning cloths, but it does work very well.

Great work, it looks amazing. I picked up a similar untested SMS2 off eBay a while back and I have never even tried to power it up! Really want to do some basic tests like you did before I fry anything. Love the master system, great games library, nice bright colour pallets and such nostalgia for the sound of the sn76489 chip....

@@mogwaay excellent, I am glad it was useful. These look to be very well made and most common faults are the switches and bad solder on the cartridge slot.

Nice work! I didn't expect the polish to work SO well! Really shiny, looks great! Might have to try that on mine some day. And the badge is a good idea. That screwdriver looked like a ifixit at first but is way too chonky for the ones that I know. What is it, if I may ask? Seems to allow better torque than the smaller ifixit one I have. (and good to see, that you used a window cleaner that is compatible with 8-Bit machines ;) )

Looking at the schem, it seems there isn't a single 9V device in the console. Everything runs off 5V. I think we should be thinking of ditching the barrel jack ports and converting the power inputs to USB. Mutually incompatible barrel jacks with different voltages and voltage tolerance, centre positive and negative, but reusing the same connectors, just seems like a bad idea all around. Plus aftermarket garbage PSUs. With USB every electronics store is going to have something that at least won't kill you, something vaguely trustworthy. Of course injected ripple can still be an issue, but it shouldn't be quite this bad, and perhaps it calls for an inductor capacitor filter stage. Indeed ripple isn't exclusive to SMPS. A classic PSU from the era is unregulated, just a transformer and a rectifier; but the rectification diodes introduce switching noise themselves, as they take a little time to start switching, it doesn't happen exactly at zero crossing, but when they do it's a very sharp sort of switching action, so there are a couple spikes there, it's at twice line frequency but it can be quite strong and cause substantial issues too. And in turn there is a lot of design space in SMPS to limit the ripple as well. 9V centre negative? Some Megadrives, many Korg and Yamaha music instruments, guitar pedals. I don't think you'll easily find an Egston or Friwo centre negative, but they are pretty clean SMPS.

I like the idea, but not sure how well it would be received, some people can be a bit funny about mods. I have ordered a 9v Meanwell PSU and going to change the polarity on the lead.

@@leesmithsworkshop Looks like at least its got a diode D2 in line with the power switch which protects the console against wrong polarity PSU. So that's a necessary luxury given difficult to replace custom ICs. On systems which don't have such protection, i think it's a smart retrofit. Meanwell is a decent manufacturer as well for sure. PSUs of unknown provenance no matter the stated purpose sketch me out, and i think it's worth paying attention not only to the brand but also to buy from a reputable seller with direct ties to official distributors such as Ingram, as fakes are fundamentally a possibility. It's very likely shady units use the same exact garbage pile parts as $1 USB PSUs off Ali, just a different feedback value to make up the difference between 5V and 9V - typical problems being lack of safety rated X and Y capacitors, lack of input fuse, lack of sufficient PCB distance or anti-tracking between primary and secondary, uncleanliness in manufacturing with flux in unfortunate spots and stray solder balls remaining, with flux eventually starting to absorb water from the atmosphere and becoming conductive, and stray balls of solder knocking loose, and crucially transformers which aren't built correctly for safety, with mere lacquer separating the secondary from the primary, incorrect winding with primary and secondary wires crossing right over each other just outside the insulating tape. With thermal cycles the lacquer is likely to degrade and crack, making suspicious PSUs increasingly fire and shock hazards as time goes on. You can't even verify most transformers for correct construction non-destructively, though often enough you see sketchy details in the overall PSU construction at a first glance.

@@SianaGearz I did some testing and I removed the traco regulator and connected the Input to the output pins, then putting 5v in the jack and it's dropping down to 4v because of the diode after the power switch. if I put 5v to the common and regulator output pins it runs ok, but then the switch does not work.

Fm mod next🎉

What are the exact size for those switches as I gotta fix my Master System cheers.
