Retro Technology Restorations.
Over time, retro devices like computers and game consoles can become worn, dirty, and faulty, losing their original look and functionality. At RETRO FIX Skegness, our mission is to keep these older retro devices looking and working perfectly.
That is why we offer a service to restore devices like Commodores, Ataris, Spectrums, and Nintendos back to their former glory, making them look and function as if they just came out of the box. Below are some of the services we provide to restore your vintage electronics.
Retro Technology Cleaning.
Over many years of use or storage, dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate inside retro electronics, especially in handheld devices like the Nintendo Game Boy or devices that have been stored in attics for years.
RETRO FIX Skegness offers professional cleaning services for these devices, effectively removing dust and grime using specialized chemicals that won’t harm the sensitive electronics. This ensures they look great and continue to function well for years to come.
Removing Scuffs & Marks.
As shown in the photo to the side, retro devices may have endured bumps, drops, or scratches over the years. RETRO FIX Skegness can remove these marks and restore the casing to look as if they were never there.
Retrobright - De-Yellowing Old Plastics.
Have you ever noticed that old plastics on retro technology have yellowed? This is a common issue related to the manufacturing process of older plastics. Contrary to popular belief, this yellowing is not caused by smoking but rather by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
RETRO FIX Skegness can reverse this yellowing using a special mix of chemicals that removes the discoloration without damaging the plastics. To learn more about our de-yellowing process, click the button below.
Re-Capping - Replacing Capacitors.
Re-capping involves replacing old electrolytic capacitors on retro technology motherboards. Over time, these capacitors can dry out and cause many of the faults commonly found in retro computers and game consoles.
RETRO FIX can assess your device, identify the necessary capacitors from the hundreds of different types available, and replace them with newer capacitors to ensure your device continues running smoothly for many more years.
