Restoring a Rare Bandai FL Gun Professional Game Console
I don’t know exactly what it is, but I could watch hardware restoration videos all day long. In this one, on Odd Tinkering, they restore a rare FL Gun Professional multiplayer dual console game unit.
The restore mainly involves cleaning the parts, retrobriting the case, creating new battery terminals, and a paint refresh.
I have an old Merlin, the Electronic Wizard console that a friend gave me as a gift a few years ago. This video has inspired me to bite the bullet and attempt a restoration. When I do, I’ll post about it here.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
