I still need to sort out the headphones, reset and power decals. Ordered them a while ago and they haven't arrived yet, but I couldn't wait to share my finished project

This Megadrive was made by a guy from Etsy. I was happy to get it. Even the controllers have some nice drawings.

My daily driver Mega Drive

Here’s my daily driver Mega Drive Model 1. I’ve done a few mods and fixes to it:

​16-BIT Logo Restoration: The original gold lettering was completely ruined, so I fixed it up using imitation gold leaf.

​S-Video Output: Added an S-Video port because the stock video output was way too blurry.

​Region Switch: Installed a JP/US toggle switch.

​Custom Stereo Amp: Put in an internal stereo amp, so now it gets low-noise, clear audio output.

​Still going strong.

After 26 years waiting my childhood wish was completted

After 26 years waiting my childhood wish was completed. I was born in 1994 and since I was 4 years old I wished to own a Sega. Today my setup was finally completed. Until this day I never played Sega on console only on emulator. What I can say, this was something. To be honest I never think that original Sega will sound so much better then any emulator. Image is softer then modern clones have (still it doesn't cover their horrible sound) but pretty good also. This is my setup for it. Saved this CRT right before owner wanted to throw it away. Controller, they are pretty comfortable but my already shows it's age, d-pad doesn't move pretty good in diagonals. What concerns it's condition - it is pretty good. Bought flashcard from AliExpress. As for future plans, I think to buy composite splitter to connect both my famiclones and mega drive. And maybe I will also buy super Nintendo, but it will be later.

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask how much will these be worth? I just found them cleaning the house where I'm living at the moment and the homeowner doesn't want them. They are all PAL and they all have manuals, I can't check if they work or not because I haven't found the console yet.
