Relax With Video Game Console Restoration and Repair Videos

We all need ways to relax. For some it’s playing games, for others it’s working out, and sometimes you just need to watch something satisfying. I have found that some of the most satisfying videos to watch are ones where people repair and restore old things, particularly video game consoles and accessories. You can always just Google or search on YouTube for these videos, but I wanted to share some of my favorite channels with you. If you have good recommendations of similar content, feel free to share them with the class in the comments below.

TronicsFix

The TronicsFix channel is satisfying to me, but not the most relaxing on the list. I love watching video game systems get repaired which is the bulk of his channel, so that’s awesome. However, he does talk a lot and walk you through what he’s doing. It’s very helpful and informative, but it does detract a little in my opinion from the relaxation aspect. I would definitely still give him a watch though for some satisfying videos. Here’s a video he shared that’s more relaxing though.

TysyTube

This is a channel that does far more than just video game console restoration. TysyTube makes videos restoring consoles like an old SNES, but they also have videos restoring seemingly random things like a WWII French bayonet or a destroyed cheese grater. All the videos are so satisfying to watch and they’re fairly relaxing as there’s usually no speaking, just the sounds of the repairs.

Odd Tinkering

Here’s a channel very similar to TysyTube. On Odd Tinkering, you won’t hear any explanations, but you can read some explanations just like TysyTube as they restore old consoles and other items. They are so similar, but I do tend to prefer Odd Tinkering slightly more as I feel they do more of the video gaming related restorations and they have a rubber duck to watch as they clean some of the parts.
