WISE FWOM YO GWAVE. I did some searching but came up empty so forgive if these are easily answered/obvious questions.
I was going through my parents' basement and found two old, dead consoles that I'm looking to resurrect.
- First is my OG US Turbo Grafx. Don't remember when or how it happened but I broke the A/V port on it when I was a kid. I'll look again but IIRC, the port is like a blown-out pussy, too loose to take the required cord.
- Second is a JPN Derby Stallion Sega Saturn (the limited blue skeletal one). Bought one off a guy and it had one of those ugly region-mod switches. Anyway, was playing Vampire Savior back in the day and the switch got flipped while the machine was still on and it fried the power supply. Ugh.
I'm completely fucking useless when it comes to soldering/doing anything that requires a steady hand. Who is a good resource either here or on the interwebs that could potentially resurrect these two machines for a reasonable price? Are the replacement parts even available?
