About Us

1up Restorations is headed up by George Portugal, who in addition to being an experienced modder is also the Chief Preservationist for Long Island Retro Gaming.

Our popular "Fix It Friday" videos on Youtube have not only given inexperienced would be modders an entry point in to the world of modifications and repairs, but have also helped to strengthen the bonds in the classic gaming community.

 Below are some examples of some of the work 1up Restorations has done in the past.

How does this work?

You place your order with us and check out on the website. We will then send you shipping information to send your console and mod parts (if applicable). We send this info manually, so not worry if you do not get an email from us immediately.

How long does it take?

Our normal turnaround time is between 2-4 weeks. However it can be longer, it is dependent upon the current backlog.

What do I have to send in?

Normally just the console. Controllers, cables, etc are not needed, we have everything here that we need. If there is anything additional that is needed we will let you know.

I paid shipping with my order. Will you send me a label?

No, that amount you paid is for the return shipping back to you when we are done with your order. You are still responsible for the shipping cost to send the console to us.

Anything else I should know?

Pack your console well! You want ample padding around it and it should not move in the box when the box is shook. We always recommend you get insurance as well.
