Restoring a Sega Genesis Sold for Parts and How To Recap | RRG Episode 13
1The Retro Repair Guy restores a Sega Genesis / Mega Drive gaming console Model 1601 aka Sonic Version from 1990. For this retro gaming restoration, I had to recap the entire board of this old retro console to future-proof it. I also threw the board in the dishwasher and cleaned the casing. This gaming console is now ready for some new retro gaming action.
