This NEC PC Engine CD-ROM² threw everything at me: 3D printed gears, a dead laser, a Discman sacrifice and a spindle height mystery, before a full recap finally brought it home. Worth every frustrating hour of it.
+29 photosSuccessful repairSony — PVM-14L1
Helped a friend source this Sony PVM-14L1 Trinitron. RGB modded with Martin Hejnfelt's design from immerhax.com (mod PCB assembled myself), neck board reflowed and recapped, audio restored after a previous owner had disconnected the speaker.

Ikegami HTM-1005RA2 broadcast monitor acquired alongside a Victor monitor; both had one hell of a rough ride in transit. Fortunately this one fared a lot better than the Victor.

This is the Panasonic FZ-1 3DO whose laser went to save its sibling. With the drive dead anyway, a full recap and an ODE installation was the logical conclusion.

An NEC PC Engine AV adapter that came bundled with a console purchase, rehoused by PointerFunction in a custom 3D-printed enclosure finished in galaxy black.
+7 photosSony — Vita TV
Picked up this Sony PlayStation Vita TV (PCH-2000) for 30€ with a complimentary mould smell. A good clean, a CFW install and a Jeff Chen stand later, it's a nice little unit.
+32 photosSuccessful repairSega — Nomad
Sega Nomad with a broken aftermarket screen, brought back to life. Plus physical mods to restore CD audio mixing and add Master System game compatibility, both omitted from the original Nomad's design.
+42 photosSuccessful repair3DO Company — Panasonic FZ-1
PSU repairs on this Panasonic FZ-1 3DO required bridging badly damaged traces, and a missed ceramic cap connection sent the console into a reboot loop. Sourcing a replacement laser meant buying a whole other console, but it runs now, and has since gained an ODE with SD card access through the AV expansion bay.

Full maintenance on a NEC PC Engine SuperGrafx: a recap, a voltage regulator swap and jailbar-fix caps. Now pairs nicely with an EDFX in a mini-IFU shell.

The optical drive rails on this Panasonic Q (SL-GC10) GameCube/DVD hybrid were in pieces, so 3D-printed replacements were the first order of business. A FlippyDrive followed. Just be aware the flex cable orientation is the opposite of a regular GameCube.

Noctua fan mod on a PAL Sega Dreamcast VA1: fan connector adapted, mounted via a 3D-printed bracket, and 3D-printed CD door latch parts for clearance.
