Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

This is where I do all my repairs. Finally got it straightened out, which should last a whole 10 minutes.

Yeah having a PC with a monitor wall mounted was a huge quality of life improvement. The pegboard workbench work was a gift from my wife, so she gets all the credit for that one.

I feel inspired by the pegboard bins for my garage shop. Id never thought of that as an option to store small parts. I have a couple questions I hope you can answer:

I’m a little apprehensive about using them because I’m worried they could be jostled off the board too easily, making a mess. How easily do you think they could be knocked off?

And on the flip side, how easy are they to take off so I can grab the whole bin and bring it to a different work area?

Oh… and finally, if you do like those particular bins, do you know the brand?

They won't come loose. The pins are angled so the only way to get them off is to tilt the containers forward and lift, which is easy to do intentionally, not easily by accident. The exact brand I'm not sure, but you can find all kinds on Amazon. Here is any example so you can get a better idea how they work.

Thanks! I’ve run into a few pegboard hooks that like to fall off, but I guess those tend to be single hole hooks.

I’ll let you know if I die

She wouldn't happen to remember where she got it from, does she?

Not these exact ones but they appear to be identical Amazon link
