IDK man, there's a difference in giving an opinion and outright calling your business a scam. That can ruin your business. Of all the places I've gotten retro stuff for games, they have been the most consistently reliable place to get them. Everything I've gotten from them works well. That's a lot more than I can say for the stuff I've found on eBay. The pricing is pretty competitive as well. I don't see that as a scam. I see it as a small business doing what they can the best they can.

Seeing the old Xbox loading screen and the Bungie Logo brings me back.

I wish I never traded in my OG Xbox toward a 360 back in '05. If I were aware of the modding scene back then. I would have kept that system.

@@megacide84 wouldn't recommend it. Granted I was only 12-14 during the time and I tried modding mine myself and bricked it. Got the software installed but was deleting game saves and stuff to make room in the drive and completely wiped the OS 💀

@@askingshoe2 Back in the early to mid 2000s. There were a few locally owned game shops that were soldering mod chips for PlayStation 1&2 systems to play import games. I'm almost sure one of them also modded OG Xbox units as well. As I didn't have internet or the necessary hardware back then. I would have paid them to do it for me.

I've seen vids of people managing to remove those stickers showing people how to do so and put them back without leaving a trace. But DKoldies certainly didnt put in that amount of effort.

Yup

Is DKOldies a scam? No

Just buy something and return it if it's not good. It will cost them money and if they are shipping this much garbage they'll go out of business eventually

Consoles, I'm not risking it. However, some of their games are stupid cheap and ship very fast. Even then, they come in flimsy bubble mailers. I'd like to see them improve and Joey to do a few pushups.

@@chimrichalds81 everyone needs a little strength training in their lives!

There's a game store that my roommate is friends with the owner of. I bought a refurbished ps4 from him about six months ago. It works like a charm. My point is: when it comes to older consoles, buy locally. More often than not, what you get will be in very good shape.

@@pixelatedsethtube1271 Still overpriced

It wasn't that they cheaped out with the caps, but rather a result of the great capacitor plague that involved botched industrial subterfuge that resulted in millions of devices from consoles to TVs to PCs all having caps fail.

And if it fails it can stop any games playing no matter if it's leaked onto the mobo or not

@@irontobias It sorta depends on the console. Obviously it's not a bad idea to replace on pretty much anything if it's old enough, but caps are a major issue for Xbox and Game Gear in particular for different reasons because they both had low quality components on the board.

@@irontobias Actually, you're slightly off. Nichicon was and is a good brand - the issue with the ones used on the OG Xbox' CPU filtering were a bad batch that ran from 2001 to 2005. I know this as I have a whole bag of them from various Pentium 3 and 4 mainboards of the era. Not defending DKOldies (they can go suck DK's fat gorilla dong honestly) but just wanted to say this as a interesting fact. It's mostly version 1.2 and newer that suffered from this, and only the units that used Nichicons. I have two 1.4s and they both had United Chemicon caps on the places where the DKOldies Xbox had Nichicons.

whats your site

is yourt @ your company name? link your site

I don't know why more people don't do this, but if I were to have my machine repaired or cleaned, I would love to see actual photos of my console opened with a before and after so I can see what was done. Just a suggestion.

Repair Tactics is my company. I've been running a local word of mouth business this whole time. I didn't expect responses or so many likes. I'll create a website then and try to grow more!! Thanks guys. You can find me on Facebook and Google 😊

@@repairtactics good luck man. good work=good business :)

Unless they reset it but yeah that’s ridiculous

@@thomasandrews9355 yeah just remembered that. It's still pretty foolish to sell OG xbox's and not remove that thing. I recall hearing that thing is a ticking time bomb and if it leaks it'll break the console.

Unfortunately, there is no way to say for sure from this video. IF the original owner or DKO factory reset the console; then it will ask for the date and time settings when being booted up for the first time. If the clock capacitor is dead; it would ask for the date and time settings every single time you turn on the console... I wish that Rich would've powered down the console and let it sit for 10 minutes so that we could see if the disc drive stopped working again AND if the date and time settings came back up!! I'm pretty sure there's a 99% chance the capacitor is not working because it obviously wasn't refurbished in any way whatsoever..... BUT since Rich didn't turn the console off and start it again; we can't say for sure :( I really hope someone takes DKO to court over this "refurbished" crap they are doing... I know that refurbished is a very broad term and it would be hard to win a court case over the term "refurbished" since there is no solid list of things that need to be done in order to call it refurbished.... BUT since DKO literally does NOTHING to the inside of the consoles; I'm sure someone can take them to court and win since they don't touch the consoles at all...

@@lightningfarronxp8899 it is a ticking time bomb my brother bought me a used original xbox bundle from ebay for 120$ CAD with 2 controllers and 8 games including halo ce and halo 2 and found out about the capacitor so when i got it it was super dusty dust bunnies everywhere cleaned it out took out the Capacitor which was JUST starting to slowly leak so i cleaned it up dusted it out looks almost brand new closed it up and bam other than it closing on its own once before a put a disc in it works absolutley fine now another note is if its a Version 1.6 then theres no worry about the Clock capacitor anything before 1.6 yes you should take it out

The OG xbox doesn't use a standard CMOS battery it uses a clock capacitor board revisions 1.0-1.5 do not require the cap to be installed for the console to function but they used a a really low quality aerogel capacitor that was prone to leaking so most people remove them. the 1.6 boards require the clock capacitor and it uses a gold nichicon capacitor stock without the cap 1.6 boards will not boot but if the capacitor goes bad it's only 50.60 cents for a replacement much cheaper than a battery.

@@Gaslighter893 did they pay you to vouch for them? 😂

@@Gaslighter893 and yet here you are crying ab people making Videos ab DKScammies... Lol Ok

Why did you call him a dud? :c

They just want normal people who don't know anything about this stuff to pay the premium and just not know they got scammed. They don't want people knowedgeable about hardware buying their crap. I'm surprised they don't have enough self awareness to send good products to known KZfaqrs though.

I got blocked on twitter for asking them about it, others have been blocked for even saying anything they dont agree with. They are also hiding any comments that critque them or link to videos that do

That's deflecting criticism with extra steps

Yeah if they were innocent they'd reach out and try to resolve the issue.

@@Gaslighter893 gr8 b8 m8

while that is highly likely true, the console absolutely can be opened without puncturing that sticker and somebody that prides themselves in doing a good restoration would not pierce the sticker, its fairly easy to remove the sticker partially thus preserving it. Its not like the paper type stickers used in many other products its very much preservable. If these guys knew as much as they think they knew they would know the heatsink they were trying to get off but couldn't absolutely can be taken off and it would expose the huge GPU underneath. Ive taken apart roughly 7 or so of these and its very common to see the thermal paste exactly as it was in this video and the console still work just fine.

They probably can't secure enough at a price point they want. Or units they buy from the public are devoid of them and they have to compensate.

@@cesariojpn Haha, what? They sell everything at a ripoff price and you're trying to defend them.

@@soggyandroid Ypu. Ebay and Amazon both have controllers that look just like the original, and feel pretty close to OEM. Them sending a mad catz tier controller is just further insulting.

I am taking them to court.

The internet has a VERY short attention span. They could send a bomb to someone in the mail, that person make a video about it and they would continue to get as many customers because of their reach and A+ marketing on all social media platforms. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Idk, but I remember seeing a comment by them acknowledging the high prices but nothing else

“Is DKOldies a scam? No.”

He will explain how they’re a family owned company, and throw in a free keychain

After the NES video by RTU, there was a shorts on KZfaq where Joey "read a customer letter" praising DKOldies over clean products.

He’s not, he’s just gonna ignore it and hope it goes away and delete any comments on his videos about it

It's not the rating that causes them to bulge, it's the placement next to the heatsinks which causes the electrolyte to boil inside of them. It's a design placement thing. 6.3vs are completely fine.

6.3 is adequate, which is why Microsoft used them, but most pro modders all recommend higher voltage caps in those spots. All other specs being equal, higher voltage caps almost always result in longer life. Those specific caps get hammered way more than the others on the PCB, and it's not simply because they're close to the heatsinks.

Seagull the thing is this was during the capacitor plauge so 98% of capacitors on the market were faulty

It's more so the higher value ones that are the worst. Such as the 1F clock cap known for eating it's way out of the cases on these. The lower value stuff the chemistry isn't too destructive on and they function fine enough. What causes these to fail though is heat and whilst increasing the rating may make them last a tiny bit longer out of their own workload, the heat is still going to give them a premature death.

@@HoneySoakedSeagull correct but considering nice Caps or so cheap, may as well go higher where available

That's the first thing I looked for when he took it out of the box & you can see that the stickers are intact.

You can actually remove the sticker without damaging it at all. I do it all the time to clean my consoles new and old

@@vjuarez8068 not on the original Xbox you can't. You either poke a hole in the sticker or if you remove it, it leaves void behind on the console.

@@jamespotter3334 you are correct. Mines in storage and been awhile 🤣 my bad

Buying an already Modded Original Xbox is probably cheaper than what DKoldies sell for their "not so Refurbished" Consoles which aren't Modded at all.

After months of criticism and seeing what people expect out of refurbishments, it’s no excuse, they know or intentionally pretend they don’t
