Bluetooth NES Advantage

The process

Six steps. Same on every unit.

Every restored console goes through the same triage, recap, reassembly, and QA pass. About a third don't make the cut.

Read the full process
  1. Step 01

    Sourcing

    Where the hardware comes from. We buy in bulk lots from estate sales, retro shops, and trusted brokers — never from auction sites where condition is unknowable.

  2. Step 02

    Triage

    Power on, screen test, button test, audio test, port test. We log what's wrong before we open anything. About a third of incoming units don't make the cut and go back into the parts pool.

  3. Step 03

    Disassembly

    Tri-wing, Phillips, gamebit — every retro system uses something different. We catalogue every screw, every ribbon cable, every silicone pad. Nothing gets forced.
