A friend of mine found it in his inlaws basement while cleaning up and handed it off to me with a few carts. The controllers don't register but the system fires up and all the games boot. It's the rarest item I own. :-[ |

I took the console apart and cleaned it out but that's all I did. I like to take apart all of my consoles and give the cases a bath and the boards a good cleaning. One of these days I am going to take apart the controllers. I'm okay with a soldering iron but really have no idea what I'm doing unless I'm following instructions. :-[ |
