Seems like it’s all cleaned up…

Great price!

Neat find! Blockbuster was such a big part of our lives and that’s all gone now…

Tried the ‘flame thrower’ approach on that one, eh…

Got mine this week from someone who had it for years.

VN100198447

I did see someone replace the ribbon cable with really thin wires, 1 x 1… it’ll take a long time but you can recover from it. Post a picture to see how bad it actually is.

Got a working one! Left eyepiece has a glitch occasionally, but worked well for 15 minutes. 5 games (Mario Tennis, Wario Land, Teleroboxer, Vertical Force, Galactic Pin), AC adapter, stand that has a crack and mild lean but is working for now, and the Blockbuster suit case in nice shape.

The foam in the case should probably be replaced, maybe order a new stand/ eye shade…

Very happy!

Thanks for the help!

Ethan, Protoman, thanks for the very useful suggestions. Watching the reviews protoman shared got me all excited. I’ve got a lead on a full working setup for a fair price (based on Ethan’s post), wish me luck!

Thanks for the push 🙂 I’ll be shopping around, fixing and tinkering w/ games is something I enjoy. Seems like ebay is the usual market place for VB stuff, any other suggestions as to where to look?

Is there a thread with current fair market pricing for console, controls, adapters and games?
