This is a rare Sega Game Gear complete boxed set (UK Release). The Game Gear itself is in beautiful shape and plays US/UK and Japanese games perfectly. It has been fully refurbished with brand new capacitors (see details below). Video is bright and colorful with no artifacts. Sound volume can be turned up loud without any distortion or static. Cosmetically, the body shell has very little wear. The original screen cover is still amazingly clear and glossy with some very light scratches. The retail box is in good overall condition with no major damage. The box graphics are still very sharp and vibrant. The inner styrofoam tray and lid are in perfect shape. The set includes the bundled Columns game cartridge (plus clamshell case), wrist strap, manuals and assorted paperwork. Brand new AC adapter is also included. Please see photos for exact overall condition of all items and actual gameplay screenshots.

Capacitor Replacement (Re-cap). The console has been completely recapped to eliminate issues with the original leaky and failure-prone capacitors (all Game Gears even those still working will eventually require a full recap due to this pervasive problem). All electrolytic capacitors were meticulously replaced on the main, sound, and power boards. Brand new, higher spec Nichicon, Panasonic and Rubycon capacitors were used for reliability and performance. As shown in the photos, the work done is professional and top quality. Beware of amateurs who do not show their recap work and especially those who use oversized, junk brand capacitors that are installed poorly (long untrimmed legs, crooked/contorted placement, uncleaned pads, dull lumpy solder joints).

Cleaning. The console has been completely disassembled for deep cleaning and vacuuming. Every nook and cranny have been thoroughly cleaned of any debris, grime, capacitor fluid, and corrosion using 99% pure isopropyl alcohol (for the circuit boards) and good old soap and water. All buttons and membranes were individually scrubbed and sanitized. The speaker was removed for cleaning as well. The battery contacts were polished. The cartridge slot, brightness/contrast and volume knobs have been treated with DeoxIT to ensure trouble-free operation.

Console has been tested with batteries and AC adapter with no issues.
