There was a small amount of corrosion to one of the battery contacts which I have resolved. I also replaced the drive belt, however, I think it's very slightly too tight - I have included the original for reference.

I didn't go back to change it again, as unfortunately there's something else going on with it. It will intermittently crackle upon movement. When open - touching around the PCB causes crackles etc.

I've already invested more time in it than I would have liked, so passing it on to someone else to have a play. I have not removed the PCB at all - everything is as you see it. i.e the only repairs I've done are the contact and the belt.

Thankfully, there is a schematic in the manual included. I can't see a year on it but I would be very surprised if this wasn't 1970s.

I'm here to help - so feel free to contact me for pre-sales advice and guidance, to verify any details or to show off your builds!

If you have a particular retro game you are hoping to play, or other specific requirements, I'm usually happy to do additional testing and I regularly do custom orders and builds so you can be sure things are fit for purpose.

All photography is of the actual item you will receive and screenshots are taken during the testing process. I use automated tooling to help fill in item specifics, so please do contact me if any details feel wrong.

If you want free cables or other odds and ends (e.g. IDE cable, SATA power adaptor), I am usually happy to include them - just leave a note during purchase.

If you need drivers, please contact me in advance. Sometimes I can provide them, sometimes I can't.

I package things carefully, with sensitive components in anti-static bags and guarantee same day dispatch if ordered before ~2pm on weekdays, and more often than not outside of that time frame too.
