Hello, everyone! First-time poster here, and proud new owner of a Famicom!

I plan on fixing up my console a but, as it needs some cosmetic work...and I was wondering if there's any way to remove the bubbles in the label/decal on the front of the console (it's driving me crazy!). I've scoured Google, and have so far found nothing pertaining to the subject.

Here's a picture:



Any help would be incredibly appreciated!

Ah yes, this fix is really easy.

Use your finger nail to peel the plastic off. Done.

I had thought about that, but I was afraid I'd accidentally rip the label underneath, and that would be worse >.>

Do you have any advice on removing it safely?

There's really nothing to it. I've ripped the protective plastic off of like 50 Famicoms. Gently clean off the residue afterward.

The controllers gold plates also have protective plastic too and comes off easy.

Thanks! That's helpful to know, because controller #2 has an unsightly bubble, too. I'll try that. :)
