Welcome back
and here is the Saturn
It's been baking in a boiler room overnight
it's dried very nicely
it's a really nice colour
a bit lighter than the PS1
I'm well impressed
lets get this thing reassembled
Reassembly is slightly more difficult than taking apart
I've changed the memory/clock battery
I'd like to get all the screws in the right places
this is nothing compared to trying to dismantle and reassemble a PS2
you need very small fingers and a very steady hand
especially when you're modding them
I still haven't decided if I'm going to mod this yet
as I'm sure people will agree,
mods can often shorten your consoles life
this is my 5th Saturn in 20 years
they've all at some point gone 'bang'
and all except my first one were modified
that just one day gave up
lets just test the button
and it works
lets get the reset button
the lettering is still in place
And now that's in
only the cartridge slot cover left
I should have done the cartridge slot second to last as I need to hook it in here
There's also a spring on this
the spring has to keep the flap in place
it's a sod
that's it
the cartridge flap has come up really nice
perfect
the screws for the top cover were all kept seperate, they have now all gone
Its starting to look nice
lets get the base
now, the power switch assembly
aah, do you know what I've done?? I forgotten to put the chassis in
for the VCD card.....
do you know what, at this moment I'm not bothered as I'm never going to use it?
Is I ever mod this machine I'll put it back in
at that time....
I'm not being unprofessional, just lazy
I'm eager to just get this reassembled
lets get the PSU back in
The PSU for the Japanese model slots onto the main board 4 pin plug
The PAL model has 5 pins
magnetic screwdriver to the rescue
that is quite a long screw but it is holding in place four layers
2 short screws for the actual switch bracket
I've noticed when I've looked on Youtube, there are very few videos....
of people actually painting their Saturns.
There's videos of people who've uploaded photos of their Saturns....
....after painting.
If anyone watches this it might inspire people to paint their Saturns
and put the footage up for the world to see
and if not the world, the members of http://segasaturngroup.proboards.com
They're a good bunch of guys :P
the power switch cover clicks in here
the last screw holds the PSU in place
Jesus! At this point I'm not going to dismantle the Saturn
I haven't put the transparent cover in either FFS
You get the general idea - I will put them in later
I've now decided I AM gong to mod this console
just not right now
And now we'll put the cover on!
Brilliant
The two shortest black screws....
and we'll re-screw the socket for the power mains socket
the console looks brilliant, it's a smashing colour
Black and grey - really looks good
I don't think it looks boring - I think it looks pretty classy, really.
I now need the cover for the expansion port
where HAVE I put that??????
I'm about as well prepared as I always am.
erm....
We'll come back to that shortly
lets get the screws into the bottom
while I'm screwing them in and you can't see my head......
I scanning about for the expansion port cover
Where on Earth have I put that??
You need eyes like a vulture to see down these holes
there we go, got it.
I don't want to do the video and not have that cover on
I'm not prepared, am I?
I try to do a video in one take and don't have the bits to put it back together!
No rattles
Come on - what have you done with that?!
It's so annoying
It's going to wreck the whole project
(frustrated chit chat)............!
I'm going to have to pause it and go and look for it - back in a sec
Still in the bloody garage stuck to that paper with blu-tac!
Everything looks fantastic
I know it won't impress everyone
It impresses me......
I'll now get the making tape off the base
Rubber feet first
I was hoping these would peel off?
the rubber is not in particularly good condition
It doesn't matter the feet are rubbery anyway
lets get the Frogtape off
hey hey, there is yer label!
and on the rear......
Is this the one thing that will go wrong?
Fandabidozey!
Brilliant.
So lets have a look
There's your Japanese labels
The Saturn, painted.
Do you think it looks like a PS1?
Great - and I've just got one finishing touch.
I'm just going to put a sticker on
I've previously bought Japanese chrome labels
on this occasion I've decided I'll be a bit different
..and I've gone with the British (PAL) font
I think bang on the front looks nice
these are fairly easy to put on
Can you see that?
It's chrome, printed
I'll give you the details for the guy that does these....
He's a genius - I've bought quite a few off him in the past
and he's done some good stickers for some consoles I've customised in the past
get it bang in the centre
once it's down, it's down, you know?
looking good
give it a rub
if you don't get it central, it's Game Over
you have to get another one
now I'll peel off the backing film
be careful.....
down to the letters
If you drop anything on this console or you stack CDs on it or something
you will damage the sticker so don't let anything come into contact with it
Nice..........................!
and now for the moment of truth
we'll test it
I've got my leads set up
I can tell you, I will be very upset
If after all this I plug it in and it doesn't work
step down transformer plugged in
here's the game I will run
I'm sure I don't need to tell you what that is.
Japanese intro music.............
Ooooh!
Good old Treasure!
And there you go.
I really hope you've enjoyed this
I've enjoyed myself!
Any questions let me know
I'm quite happy now I've got my new Saturn!
(I chipped the console and fitted the two loose parts immediately after finishing this video)
Look out for more Saturn gameplay/review videos now to come!
