But you got the treasured experience. If course, you didn't realize that until years later...

Do you know how to get the yellow coloring out of old consoles??

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There's a couple ways but you need to get hair developer cream from Sally's beauty supply and apply it to the yellowed console.

I would expect the Ataris to work. I also love the woodgrain look.

If it doesn't power up, it's likely just one of the fuses is gone, very common problems and very, very cheap and easy to fix up.

If they don't work I would make use of the cases. Either retro pie or some sort of bad art.

Sega CD uses the same power adapter as a Model 1 Genesis (the one you have there) of course you have to have two still to get it to work.

Pong was my first video game back in . . . well, before the earth cooled. Pretty sure it cost my parents $100 which was a lot back then.
