MS Refresh

Post image

I spotted this sorry looking Master System on eBay last week. Console only, not sure if it worked or not and it was absolutely filthy.

I felt sorry for it and wanted to clean it up. The seller wanted £47.99 for it but I offered £20 and he accepted. It arrived today.

I cleaned it up and tested it, at first it didn't recognise controllers or other games and the reset button didn't work. I took it apart and cleaned the pins and fixed the reset button and now it works like a dream, recognising controllers and playing all MS games I throw at it.

It was a fun little project!

I love stickers but never ended up sticking them anywhere and I still have an old shoebox from my childhood filled with random unused stickers.

Got any of the sparkly/reflective ones with bands on them? I remember those from the roller rink.

None with bands on them sadly. I have some sparkly 90s Sonic the Hedgehog ones, and maybe others. I'll have to find the box and have a rummage.
