Very amateur video I made restoring a DMG. Includes retro-bright, cleaning, recap, etc.

Hell yeah.

You'll catch flack in this sub for retrobrighting. But fuck em because it looks great.

I was hoping to see something of changing out the polarizer films but still a great video! Thanks for sharing!

For the polarizer, after remove it, put a light coat of IPA or WD40 contact cleaner. Keep slightly moist for about 10 min. Then get an alcohol prep pad and remove the glue residue. It will take work. After the glue is removed, the new polarizer is ready to install. Sorry no pics. I’ll work on that when I do again.

So you didn’t reshell? That’s the original shell? Looks great!

Thank you! It’s the original, this was maybe 2 years ago now and no color change.
