Wow! This is crazy Steve. This game was once mine. I know it's mine because I am the one that tore the printing off the box exactly like it is now. I bought this at an auction house for $80.00 in Iowa, because there was one gaming game bidding against me that had an idea of its value. Otherwise, I would have got it for next to nothing. I tore the box when packing it after I sold it on eBay. A piece of tape accidently stuck to the box while packing it and tore the printing off. I even saved the piece and sent it to the buyer. I got $180.00 for it about 5 years ago but, it worked fine at that point. Blows my mind that after all this time it ends up with you fixing it on one of my favorite KZread channels. This is to cool!! Thanks Steve!

@@GenghisClaus idk about that but something similar-ish that happened to me also blew my mind XD Some dude sold me bunch of PS2 loose discs which had photoshoped listing photos showing less damage on the disc then it actually had, and he obviously refused a refund or at least half money back. Maybe a month later I made a listing of a console lot and accidentally had those same discs on the side of the photo I didn't crop it, so some dude was spamming my inbox how he want specifically those games and begged me to sell those. I already had an idea that he isn't the brightest one and said whatever I let him have it. The thing is I already kept few that I could resurface while sold the ones that are completely damaged, turns out it was the same guy I bought them from and he later kept messaging me about how he couldn't believe that he bought back his own games for double the price and even some I kept XD If that is not karma then idk wtf it is XD I usually avoid selling junk unless it's basically shown and listed as busted, but this time my instinct told me just do it and I am glad that I did. Another odd one was that I had a bed that I at one point repaired and customized it and eventually sold it maybe 15 years ago only to last year find it listed and my mother was one who found it, she asked me what do you think about this bed, looks custom and it's quite cheap for a custom bed, to which I laughed and said that was my bed and I am the one who customized it too XD I still have the mesuerments what materials I used etc all the data about it so If you want one just like that or even better one I will make you one for free :D She eventually bought something else in the end but it was an interesting experience that my custom bed is still alive and well people using it after all these years :D

Steve i just read your post regarding illness. Want to wish you all the best but also that i too had the same diagnosis in 2021. Same treatment, same symptoms. It's tough but manageable. I guarantee you they have mastered the treatment, and you will recover. I'm in remission, since 2022 treatment ended. Regular checkups and some anxiety when they are due but apart from that i am back to 95% myself. The other 5%is learning how to cope with the worry. You have a lovely wife to help and that is worth a lot. I cannot express enough that positivity is key. Keep taking the meds exactly on time. Thank you for continuing with your videos and know exactly how you feel. ❤

Has original manual. Directions printed on the bottom. "I don't know how to operate this." - man

Definitely like the older/ more obscure stuff. You can only watch so many PS5 repairs until they start to seem same-y. Great vid :)

I LOVE seeing videos JUST LIKE THIS!!! where you pick up a broken piece that's old and (semi)collectable, fix it up after going over the condition and also fixing the defects/damage (like the sticker peeling up a bit) and then selling it for a profit... There are a few channels that do this, but I don't watch them because they aren't about fix the electronics - they're just about fix iy up and reselling.... So if you were to include YOUR buying price and what you SOLD it for then you'd have the FULL CIRCLE and THAT is what's appealing about THSOE videos.... so you'd be COMBINING those type AND your typical electronic fix..... That would be a REALLY COOL addition to your channel occasionally... like a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly special episode... And you go over all/any of the sales that have happened with those specific collectable just on the 'special episode' (I'd say you do it bi-weekly, buy ON TOP of your typical uploads.. (but you CAN'T change your existing schedule because then you might upset THOSE viewers that look forward to Friday because thats when TronicsFix uploads his show.... you know what I mean?)

Enjoy seeing repairs on older devices like this..

I love this fix. It was so sentimental for me. My little brother had one of these toys and watching you bring it back to life brought back many happy memories of the Christmas that Santa brought it and all the fun our family had playing it. Please revive more retro games and toys. Your content is beautifully wholesome all the time but this one was extra ❤

+1 for these unique electronics. I love seeing different things inside, and old stuff usually have bigger and easier boards for us to understand. Btw, SPOILER, what do you think ended up fixing this one?

I think it must have been the battery contacts. They didn't look too bad but they must have been.

Love this! Please do more like this in addition to what you usually do. A little variety is good here and there. 😊

What a beautiful childhood those of us who today are 30 or more had.😊

Random old school items being fixed are really interesting. In fact, virtually everything you record being fixed is great fun to watch. Keep up the great work.

I know KZread is a place where you have to balance doing what you like with also what people want to watch, but I really like seeing people talk about what they’re stoked about. It’s really evident in this how much you like working with this older tech. Definitely keep it coming, especially since it’s something you really enjoy!

i love these games, and ive been collecting them for about 10 years now. I bought this one about 4 years ago. I think you got a great deal for 150. Please more super old retro stuff 😊✌️

Man, I love watching your videos. You demystify what so many people see as "too complicated" and you're doing a lot to encourage recycling and repairing. I wish there were more like you, and I hope you're doing well.

This channel is one of my favorites! I love all the different tech and the spirit of repair. I'd love to see more old stuff like this.

That enhancement you did on the screen was brilliant.. Great repair. Great video. 💪

I am in shock and awe how clean the insides of this were. Glad it made its way to you.

One of my favorite videos from you. I always enjoy seeing the inner workings of special equipment. And a lot of tension you build up during the screen replacement there ;) Thanks!

Support for you Steve i made my first console repair steps thx to you 7-8 years ago and i'll be gratfull for knowlage you shareds with us!❤ wish you and yours family all the best!❤

I love the addition of suspenseful music when trying to line up the screens and reassembling.

Stay strong! We love you!❤

I really enjoy these videos of super old and rare electronics repairs. Great work Steve!

Love it! I always wanted one of these when I was a kid. They were manufactured about 30 minutes from where I live.

I love these kind of repairs with things from the 80s. Brings me back to my youth.

The suspenseful music as you're pulling the screen with the board was a perfect touch.

Love these types of videos, I collect, Entex, Mattel, Tomi and Kenner handhelds from 80s late 70s, seeing these classics brought back to life is magical.

wow this little retro gizmo is so neat, love it. Was so happy you were able to fix the little guy!

I absolutely love seeing retro consoles coming back to life!

You’re doing so well Steve. Great fix and yes do more retro stuff please!

I absolutely love watching you work on these really old games..

This is a great direction you ar going with your channel!! I hope you will do more of those retro repairs because they ad deversity and new old console!

Yes! These old table top arcades are an awesome repair idea and showcase..

You can use a little piece if tape to keep the LCD screen tabs in alignment for the reassemble - GREAT video!!!

Love watching u fix these vintage machines , please please can u fo more of them

Hope your feeling strong brother. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks . Much love, God bless 🙏

I like these retro system breakdowns too, they bring us an air of "not so complicated" things back then

Steve i would watch you repair anything, i like watching you open stuff up so i can see what us inside

you bet i love those videos, don't hold back from making more ;)

It's nice to see you repair more unique things, especially if they give you a challenge.

I actually had this tabletop when it was brand new as a child . Brought back memories thanks for that .

Steve, I love your video's and watch religiously every upload. Take care of yourself. We are all rooting for you and your happy and healthy recovery.

This was cool to watch. Really old things are always interesting to see taken apart.

Fixing the older stuff is my favorite type of videos I love I really all the videos you make

Hey been watching a bunch of your vids lately to pass the time. This is one of my favorites. Hope today was a good day for you with everything going on.

Love seeing my childhood being fix and working again. Great video.

I'd love to see you fix more old retro consoles/arcades! Great content.

I loved the simplicity of these old machines. If the screen is not damaged then it’s more than likely just not getting power.

We all knew you'd fix it one way or another, Be well Steve...♥

The one thing I am thinking about with that battery cover is to create a schematic for people to 3D print a new one. Granted there probably isn’t a need to have someone print a bunch because of how old and maybe how many units are out there. Having the schematic online would probably be the best option if someone wants to do it.

These are the best kind of repairs, restoring life to retro games to give them a 2nd life, the best

There's something heart warming about these old things coming back to life. Go for it!

Definitely keeping you in our prayers bud. Been watching you for awhile now. You always seemed like a really nice person.

My mom still had hers for most of my childhood 😂Good times. Thanks for the great upload!

Steve performing surgery on that screen! 3 bills, easy, with the box. A true collector's item.

Would absolutely love to see more!!! Very cool item.

Just started watching and you opened the battery bay. With no leaked batteries in there, I figure the worst case scenario is a liquid spill. Still, very good potential to repair it. We will see!!!

About 15 years ago I gave a local collector $400 for an original full-size DK Jr cabinet and he threw one of these tabletop units in for free. It’s surprisingly fun to play. It’s designed in a really clever way to provide a vibrant color backlit screen using only the ambient light in the room.

I love all your Videos but these ones are special for those of us of a certain vintage 😊😉 Love and prayers your Way Steve.

Love the dramatic music during the lining up of the registration marks. Had me on the edge of my seat. Heh.

That’s so awesome!! Keep bringing those memories Steve, stay strong buddy

Love to see you do more of these too Steve.

So cool to see you working on something SUPER retro. Very cool.

I remember getting this game for Christmas way back and it was so awesome to see one again and working.

"Today we are going old school!" always the best thing to hear at the start of a tronics fix video!

Love the retro arcade repair videos. Keep em coming!

Love your channel! I have learned so much and fixed many items on the street for people with your guidance as well as my own crap haha.

“No jewels unadjusted” is a reference to whatever timekeeping mechanism that is in the game. Jewels are used as bearing surfaces in traditional watches. An adjusted mechanism would mean that it a high end piece as well. So it probably has an early plain jane quartz clock chip in it

feels like an @StezStixFix type video...

Love the older machines like these, definitely some more please

I’d definitely love more of these videos this one was my favorite 😃

Awesome video! I‘d love to see more of these. Edit: Wow, those moments with the screen were intense…

The transitions and production quality seems to have really improved this video. Great content as always!

Hey great video, looks so good after cleaning and fixing, almost like a museum piece!!

I spent so much time playing on one of these! So much fun. Great video bringing back memories…

I love these types of videos. It's the whole reason I started watching StezStix.

I love seeing stuff like this. I bought a Mario Cement Factory tabletop for $50 with corroded battery terminals and built my own out of scrap pieces of metal and it now works flawlessly. Kept it for my own collection, though, since I didn't really want to sell my own janky work lol

Now these are the kinds of videos I am on youtube looking for! 👌 superb content

Well done fixing it. I am pretty sure it’s crt screen not lcd screen for that time. You did it right well done. 🛠️

I don't know why you always put everything back together just to try to turn things on, but I like that optimistic from you great fix as always 😁
