Nice restoration. A tip for restoring screens/gloss plastics - Micro Mesh abrasive pads. They come in a pack of 9 from 1500 grit to 12000 - work through the grits and less polishing required at the end. I’ve just used them for the first time to polish an old retro tabletop game with a gloss black case and it came out great. 👍

Thank you for creating the interesting content ❤ Loved watching it 🥇 I actually like, that one can just observe you doing the work and you don't constantly have to talk about every step (like they do in other channels) 🏆

I have a breakout handheld that is in almost the same case, six AAs etc. but playability looks better on the breakout version. Thanks for giving me the ideas to give it a similar restoration!

Very cool, for some reason I never realized there may be other games that Entex made in this same format. Breakout would be a great handheld though. Good luck with your fixes!

That's so cool, I'll be sure to check it out. I just love these old handhelds. I wonder if it has similar button pads to this one or if they used different parts for each. That would be interesting to find out. You might also be able to 3D print a battery cover replacement. There are hundreds available on thingiverse or any other 3D modeling websites for that matter. It may not look 100% but at least you don't need to worry about the batteries falling out during play.

First time seeing your channel! Awesome video! One idea I’ve seen before in videos like this is replacing the batteries with a rechargeable pack, instead of needing 6 AAs! Overkill for this device but it’s just a fun idea 😄

That's a great idea! I know a fistful of batteries is crazy for these old handhelds. It probably only last like 2 hours or playtime with them too lol.

Really good, in my opinion the audio could use some work just with volume inconsistencies as I caught myself adjusting the volume but other than that banger of a video

Excellent restoration. One development, what could be achieved on such devices, maybe a pi zero with a LCD or OLED with better sprites 😊

LOL oh yeah! I was considering changing out the LCD screen after I opened it up and really struggled with it for a few days. I decided to keep it original and just clean it up as best as possible. I thought it would be neat to see it how it was originally intended to look versus updating it to now. There's a certain charm to the original look that I really like.

You might try on those deeper scratches on the screen, a marble to rub and burnish the scratch Vigorously. it tends to slowly melt the plastics back together of the deeper scratches or lessen them without having to sand down to them.
