Did you hear that? Just gotta be a dumb stubborn guy and the ladies love it 😂 And yes, we had an adventure today. Dropped off a Vectrex I fixed for someone and then we grabbed this, definitely something I needed more of 😏
Had an adventure with @jeffsretrogaming.com to acquire another CRT. This bitch weighs 120lbs and he carried it from the truck and down the stairs himself. I called him a dumb motherfucker but I might be a little turned on by it, too 🤷♀️
No more save data tied to batteries and ability gained to play discs from any region on this Saturn 🔥

A customer of mine bought a 'Fully Refurbished' Model 1 Sega CD off a reseller that wouldn't take discs Bad belt... simple fix. I replaced and cleaned limit switches while inside They also advertised a full recap but only did 2 out of 3 boards and quite poorly. Messy inside 😒
