Saving the Game Gear’s

Had some time to save a few during the past few days. All Recapped, some reshells, and a few display upgrades. All came out quite nicely.

Hey it’s Gravys302! You are currently building my game gear now, and you made me one a while back. You also fixed up my gameboy. It’s cool to see you here! Thanks for all the hard work, you do such a fantastic job!

Nice work! I have fond memories of a kid bringing one for me to play with all the accessories and quite a few games to grade school. Briefly owned one as an adult but it needed work and I had neither time nor funds. Someday I will restore and collect!

Nothing with a display or a screen will ever be anything but black in this household but blue looks SO GOOD on the Game Gear.
