I recently got serious into electronics. The combination of taking things apart to see how they work while growing up, taking apart old video game consoles to fix em up, and my love for youtube has made me wanna self educate myself and jump into a new hobby. Now I have a huge project on my hands. I currently own 3 NES's, only I plan on modding one big time. With the controllers for example, I know where 3 power sources are. I used one of them and soldered an LED light and resistor on one to light up the Nintendo logo. It works. I plan on doing the same for the B and A buttons. Then Im gonna spray paint my controllers (using acrylic enamel) with a couple coats of primer, 5 coats of black color paint, and a couple coats of clear coat. Each coat will take 2 days to cure and in between after drying I gotta keep sanding it down with various grits of sandpaper. In the end its gonna make it so shiny, it'll be like a black mirror. The same will be done to the NES itself.

As for the NES electronically, I'm gonna convert the mono RCA to stereo. Then I'm gonna light up the inside with either LED lights or probably those lights they use inside gamer PC cases. I might even add a window on top if I choose. In the end. It'll be as shiny and pretty as this:

Are any of you coders interested in electronics? By which I mean soldering stuff together, or PCB layout, or schematic design, or Arduino projects or HAM radio or ...or ... or...

I'd be interested to know, since I suspect that there are at least a few of us out there.

I was an electronics hobbyist in school - I wanted to become a electronics engineer.

Unfortunately, I fell into the trap of programming.....
