I also did a SNES shell that was in a smoker's household about 30 years ago
I suppose the peroxide has degraded considerably but either way it's a LOT better than the previous color

Be sure to treat your elderly machines' flesh with a nice hot soapy bath
You never know if their grandkids will spare you or not when they take over in the future

I am once again reminded that my state is turning into a complete hellhole
No one should be denied treatment, ever. The hippocratic oath is a thing *because* of stuff like this. If you're wanting to refuse people care because of your beliefs you're in the entirely wrong profession

You will live to see your favorite franchises bastardized beyond recognition
It saddens me that no one knows of the original trilogy and how this is absolutely NOTHING like them in any way, shape, or form
They dug this up from the grave just to do this to it.

Had to get a replacement due to an unfortunate case of "falling from a high place and shattering like a Ming Dynasty Vase" but I guess it worked out since this one is in much better condition anyhow. Even came with the Styrofoam and original leads

It was genuinely everything I expected it to be, and then some!
I've been practically stalking a release date since the original announcement, and I am very pleased with it
Bonus: if you've got one, play it on a CRT, you won't regret it

Ended up splitting an old Brass ended fuse, hammering it flat, cutting a strip out, bending it in a vise, and then fitting it into the slot. Ended up soldering in a wire extension since the old end was corroded beyond use. Bam, new tab

Beautiful piece
Only issue is that I absolutely need to replace a contact because I have never, ever seen a battery corrode this badly

New power supply arrived earlier
Need to adjust the dial, but, it's only off by about 1.5 volts
Works lovely otherwise

I kind of wish I knew the labels I ordered would be INDIVIDUAL letters, but oh well. They at least look nice
