“A journey OF OVER time and space”

That’s some fine-ass Engrish right there!

But seriously, those are some nice pickups!

[Tech13]

Still on a controller kick

This poor baby needs some work and stick reinforcement.


Got this one for another controller that is coming in the mail. Can you guess what is coming in the mail?


Got these for my 2nd xbox... 2 of the controllers did not work and had shorted cables. The seller gave me 1/2 of my money back and let me keep the broken controllers.

So I got to work and shortened the cables and soldered directly to the board.


Here are the 2 troublemakers


Once the controllers worked I shrink wrapped the Ferrite Chokes and used black silicone to keep them in place.



Lastly I Helped a friend at a Garage sale. A nice lunch at Mugshots and This baby was my payment.

This is a Sony RDR-VX521. The best part is on the back.


This little beauty can Take Rf, Composite, S-video and convert it to Component. S-video is on the front input of the device behind the flip down door.

Lots of pickups over the past week!

First off, got these in the mail earlier in the week



Then, I had a good day at the Flea Market over the weekend. Found some great deals. All the Sega games are CIB. Captain Silver is a "Sega in the 90s" variant and the loose Choplifter cart is a Tectoys version which is crazy to find randomly in the midwest.  The Strider Returns looked really messed up but I was actually able to get all that tape off with no damage to the artwork.



Also in the mail, CT Special Forces 3. A legitimate copy finally popped up on ebay so I was able to complete my set.



and finally, perks of having a Brazilian coworker who recently went on a trip to Brazil. That's 2 Brazilian games in 3 days lol.

This is more of a pick up from an old version of myself. I was helping my dad clean out his attic. I have 3 boxes of EGMs, GamePros, and Nintendo Powers. All are in pretty good condition, except for the NPs that had the staple spines.

My question is, is there a market for this kind of stuff? 2018 me can't keep all this shit, my wife would die. I would die. lol.

Should I just put them in lots on ebay? Is anyone here interested? I can sort thru them better this weekend. If no one wants them, I will just have to trash them.

People do collect them.  Probably the Nintendo Power ones more then the others.  If you have a independent game store in you area, they might be interested in them.  I know some of the ones around me sell old copies.  If you decided to just pitch them, I would at lease go though the Nintendo Powers and pull the posters out as people still love those for game rooms.

While I don't collect old magazines, I absolutely love reading them whenever I come across them.  Seeing original articles, reviews and advertisements for games that are now legendary is so much fun.  Not to mention seeing the numerous ads selling Stadium Events for $30.

So I got a major CL find yesterday. The best part is they guy delivered it all to me at my work and I only paid 40 for the whole lot. Now I have trade bait again

The following is what I am keeping out of the lot.

Couldn't find one of these locally.  Luckily two friends were looking out for me.  Don't need two for myself, but one of my employees was also looking for one

That sketch on the pad looks interesting.

I put some free Amazon gift cards to good use and I found a second NES Classic controller at my local Target.

Quick update.  Superhot is AWESOME.  If you have PSVR, buy it now.

I’ll be able to show you what it ended up producing on August 8th

[RealPlumpBox]

Some games, A 3D printed Switch game stand made from a guy from a different forum (yes a letter is missing.  It fell out but he is sending a replacement.), and new knee pads for work.

[Megatron]

Oh wow!  I just ordered that SAME Switch game holder.  Only mine wasn't sanded on the inside.  Ended up scratching the hell out of one of my cases.
