What I define as "finders keepers"
Thought I would finally share some of my finds, please excuse the pics I am still trying to figure out how this site works. Not a lot to get excited over, but the price was good.
There is a story behind this "stash" of stuff, I helped a friend in desperate need about a month ago ( a touchy story that I rather not get into out of respect ) but did involve cleaning out a house and basement thats sat for 40+ years. So IMHO this is a true "finders keepers" as everything here and few more I have not taken pics of yet were rescued from a future life in the local landfill. Got tons of other stuff, but whats here is game related.
I was pretty stoked over the Odyssey2 and the amount of games never owed one before now. put some time into this after I found it, as it was in horrible shape. voice doesn't work as the speaker was ruined.
Yea! commodore vic 20! cleaned, tested and works.
Now this I actually had as a kid, works but still needs cleaned up.
There's actually 6, but it's parked on my computer desk for my gaming pleasure. I have cleaned
these up, the 3 on the right are still having issues and do need new 72pin connectors. the other two
work great, but are still touchy at times.
These 2 have a history like the Odyssey2 as they were beyond dirty (one day I will post before and after pics) and I cleaned them up and have yet to see if they even still work, but I couldn't bear to see them in the condition I found them in.
Seeggaa! The gen 1 & 2 on top I have cleaned, the lower two I haven't gotten to yet.
A lot of stuff, but alas the 5 to the left are just for parts or whats left of them, the PSOne was a nice find as for one I didn't have to clean it, and it's modded. the "fat" below that is one I actually cleaned up and fixed.
PS2 WIP haven't even started to work on these. the middle one was pretty obvious and there was a hole in the power/reset button ribbon. Pretty sure all 3 need new lasers *sigh*
Duel dead game gears...also have yet to tinker with.
Just randomly tossed these in, actually have dozens of other handhelds I found, but these 4 were to go into my private stash, and the kids got the rest. Blip works, but the others are untested so far. going to clean them up before I put any batteries in. I will be tickled if the pac-man works!
Anywoo, theres part of my hording stash, even tho I have gone all obsessive on NES just thought I would share. I guess if there could be a moral to all of this. Sometimes it may be worth your time to help someone in need, you never know what you will find.
