I hope you keep a lot of your stuff in storage.. I remember when Austin Evans house burned down and he lost most of his collection. Rare, but it could happen.

Loved ur video Adam I've missed thses videos alot glad u brought it back love watching u clean a system always fun to watch and super informative can't wait to see what else u clean

Been so long for a cleaning video, but good to see again nonetheless. Great cleaning Adam, cheers!

Informative as always, good work Adam

Thanks for the video. I’m going to clean mine. I’ve had it for 25 years and I’m glad that it’s still running.

Your cleaning videos are always so satisfying. Definitely my favorite videos you put put

I didn't even know these consoles existed! Really cool restoration, good to see these again!

Oooh yeah, finally a new one. I absolutely dig these. Great work Adam!

Planning to get a Neo Geo CD Model 2 from Japan. I love the design of the 2nd model.

Fantastic stuff as always, Adam!

Was waiting for another cleaning video in forever. They're so comfy

Nice, I recently purchased a front loader off ebay. Definitely will be using your tips to clean my front loader.

I could watch these all day. Seeing what they look like inside is very interesting to me but I don't know why. The retro consoles at least. Thank you, Adam.

The disc drive is the same as the Sega CD Model 1. I used parts from a Model 1 to repair a NGCD top loader.

I always enjoy your cleaning videos, Adam--it's been too long!

Cool find. Never had one, but it's a neat looking console.

Great work Adam 👍

Interesting video. Thanks, dude

I had no idea this existed, crazy little contraption

Awesome video Adam!

My air duster is fantastic. The clump of dust it blew out of my mega drive cartridge slot was incredible. Looking forward to Magnavox odyssey 2 cleaning video 😉

Interesting to see the insides of one of these

Front Loader for under $20 working, that's great lol. Good job 😎

That's a nice looking board 👍

That's an incredible deal !

Nice cleaning video! :D

the cd drive in these is the same as the mk1 mega cd unit, usefull info for repairs and for sourcing new laser units, i have actually seen suppliers charging more for the laser just because its for the "neo cd", yet the sega cd unit was 15 pounds cheaper, they had the same part numbers lol, dont get skanked.

My brother is planning to get the it on his trip to Japan, he's hoping to find it in one of the book/hard-offs.

I love these! And it's a Neo-Geo CD!!!! Nice!

Planning to get a Neo Geo CD when in Japan

whoa! had no idea there was a front loading NeoGeo CD console.

I use pine sol , it gives you perfect shiny black finish . It’s actually really good.

Hey does anyone know if this particular system was released in the UK because I prefer this design to the top loader and would prefer to use this model but I havent seen any from the UK online.

Ayyy. Adams alive.

cool neo geo talk adam

Good video

Have you pondered the ideal of running it though a dishwasher

Interesting that this was just uploaded! I was playing mine last night and it kept rejecting discs. I tilted it slightly to the left while it was loading discs and it works perfectly! Really strange. I’ve kept a bunched up shirt under the right side to keep it tilted

Damn that is crazy. I am familiar with all the other major Neo Geo machines even the Neo Geo Pocket, but this, wow super interesting. I guess this was the first design before they made the sleeker top loader?

Great video Adam! How big is this console compared to a 3DO model FZ-1?

Love these cleaning videos. Do one for Fat ps3!

any plans to do a retroactive fourth gen recap video on the Neo Geo CD now?

Amazing video, love the NEO GEO. Are buying or have bought the new NEO GEO home arcade?

What I'm always worried about is for this neogeo cd model is that there is no eject button on the console and there is one for the menu screen meaning the game could be stuck inside forever

man, i wish i had either one of these or a 3do (do you find 3do consoles in the us adam?)

Nice find Adam. Did you you add grease to the cd drive cogs and the underside of the cd tray? You will see teeth that will probably need grease too.

Hey Adam, did you get the Neo Geo Mini?

Pledge is Mr Sheen in the UK.

So how's the load times for you?

Should do a vid on cleaning the original Xbox controllers would be quite interesting love this vid btw great work

was the neo-geo cd ever released in the us? all i've seen online is japan units

Will there ever be a cleaning of any of the consoles from the xbox 360 onwards?

Low res on this video or bad lighting? Anyway, good watch! :D

Have you tried using lighter fluid on the scuff marks instead of the magic eraser? I tend to find it works quite well on game cartridges and old toys and it less abrasive than magic eraser. But I suppose it would depend on what the scuff it.

Hello Adam, my front loader is closing tray automaticly could you help me to fix this issue? thanks

We going to get a Magnavox Odyssey disassembly? Should be some good 40 year old dust in there.

Classic Koralik

Can you do one on the sega cd model 2?

Who needs a neo geo mini when you got one of these. Anyways. how's the latency with the neo geo mini. mame in retro pi is unplayable for me. example metal slug and can't jump right before the ledge when moving. gotta jump a bit before which is annoying.

8.22 for the magic eraser

Think caps have gone on mine possibly was working flawlessly then randomly started resetting itself. Would happen after a while then after few more days of testing it to hope it magically was ok, it would constantly reset barely getting past the initially loading screens of any games...need to find someone to repair it. I have another unit with a defective disc drive which I attempted to repair but failed. Uses same laser assembly as the original mega cd but it was beyond my limited skills. Need someone in uk I can trust to repair them!

Own an mvs collection but always wanted a cd as alot of games are peanuts. I own 5 saturns so if they die i'm fine, just cant bring myself to buy neocd for $100+ when they die so often. No idea if they can be an easy fix either.

Hey Adam. I’m finishing up a documentary for the Neo Geo. I was wondering if I could use parts of your recap of the AES within? I PROMISE to give you, and your company: Figure It Out Productions credit, and Special Thanks. Especially for videos like these. If I may (for the sake if you DO intend on cleaning the AES) DO NOT use Windex/Windolene on the system itself. The console’s manual, and the Neo Geo Development Wiki states that it will-in fact discolor! I’d recommend Armorall Cleaning Wipes instead. Sure the system will look greasy, but it actually helps to polish it. Works well for my Sega Genesis/CD.

Ayy. That's pretty nifty m8

What is the advantage of this system versus the aes or mvs? Are the games cheaper?

Interesting that they decided to use zip ties on the inside. Very odd. But I guess they didn't really think a bearded guy would be opening it twenty-some odd years later.

Which is rarer: a divers 2000 or a crystal white gamecube?

Aww man Adam, you didn't throw some white lithium grease on the gears and rails for the cd drive? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?!

I thought windex and plastic weren't really a good combo, have I been misinformed?

I would have gotten a Neo-geo but it was WAY too expensive

I think they could have made these consoles a bit bigger. lol

KOF FTW

"I have never seen a console use zip ties" Original Xbox does! They use it for the power cable to the HDD. Otherwise.. Yeah that is uncommon.

Dude I think you Completely disassemble other consoles AND clean it, cause then the video is twice as useful because then people know how to take apart the console AND clean it. With this in mind, I recommend making reduxes of previous cleaning videos. You don’t have too. Just my opinion.

The CD drive is oddly similar to the CD drive that the Sega CD model 1 uses. They look almost exactly the same. Strange

Nah dude, windex got some shit inside who leave a bit of grime on the lens, use 99% alcohol.

Bugger the “factory original” zip ties 😤 Clean it proper and just get replacement zip ties.

BTW 2 years ago you weren't the first.

beautiful lust machine

snk made kings of fighters

Adam, $18? And you almost never bought it? Seriously? Go buy some zip ties!

So... apparently nowadays "cleaning" is a synonym of "restoration"? I know you'll think I'm a shithead, but I really don't give a fuck at this point. I am disappointed when people claim they are doing some amazing repair job, while doing almost nothing other than impress other people who know even less about those devices. Nothing you did in this video made the console work better apart from maybe cleaning the laser. Here are some examples of what you should have done, to be allowed to call it a restoration: - Re-flow solder joints (for example on the power input connector, which seems to be a common problem with this device) - Replace some caps (I think some video output circuitry caps go bad in this device) - Calibrate the laser - Calibrate the disk drive tension - Re-grease the drive gears Those are just some things off the top of my head, even though I know almost nothing of Neo Geo CD repair. I however am familiar with how temperamental this CD drive is, because it is also used in other consoles. How exactly can you call this "restored back to the condition when it came off the assembly line"? You don't think that's arrogant? In a way you are shitting all over the invaluable work of professional repair people, because you give viewers the impression "a good cleaning is all that's necessary". You think this device saw zero use within the past 24 years (based on when you uploaded the video) and none of the materials deteriorated? You should have just called this a tear-down and left it at that instead of posing as some kind of repairman.

CDをセットして下さい しばらくお待ち下さい

wow you are very rich I wish I could visit Japan but I am too poor

i honestly skipped a head looking for the magic eraser part. you did not fail me.
