Playing some Wipeout XL on my newly-repaired Playstation (SCPH-1001, purchased in 1996) using the Namco NeGcon analog racing controller.

I've replaced the PSU and the dead optical drive on this unit with a pre-tuned unit from TotalConsole. Drop in and go. Glad to have this back up and running after several years dark.

Replacement Playstation optical drive from TotalConsole works very well -- this was being discussed as a drop-in-and-go replacement (not tuning) and it's worked with everything I've tested it with so far except one CD-R that I burned about 18 years ago.

My original Playstation from 1996, which I mod-chipped and in which I recently replaced the PSU (and optical drive).

Haujobb scenedemo playing here, Orgonakkumulator (1999).

Looks like it works!!!

I just need to dremel an edge of the upper case down to remove contact with the drive plate.

Yay! This PSX has been out of commission for about three or four years!

About to take another stab at replacing the laser unit on my original PlayStation from 1996. This time, the mechanism is pre-tuned and pre-aligned. It cost twice as much, but apparently it should be drop in and go.
