Virtual Boy Stand Help
larryinc64:
So, I just got a fairly good deal on a Virtual Boy on eBay for $135.00.

It seems the stand is missing a piece, I know it is missing the screw that is used for tightening, any idea for a replacement part?
shenske:
I actually was just reading a topic about the stand on planetvb a few days ago. I'm away from my computer right now so I can't link it.
wiggy:
You could take it to a hardware store and find a bolt that matches up. I'm sure it's some sort of machine screw.
Arseen:
I don't have my stand at hand to compare but what I can see (with near 100% certainty) is that the bigger black piece is the clicky thing that attaches to the VB itself and seems complete.
The transparent plastic thing and smaller black thingie are decorative pieces.
So all you are missing is the bolt that had plastic hand knob and it's counter part.
You can replace those with suitably long screw or bolt and nut.
Iwould suggest either the bolt or nut (or both) to be the winged kind for easier usage (the hinge is used for adjust ting the tilt of the machine).
Arseen:
Surpricingly I found my stand, and I was right.
I'll dissamble it and show you what pieces you are missing.
