Here's about half of the stuff I will be bringing to the 2010 MWGC:



Games, boxed systems, and loose systems. Lots of work left to do before Friday rolls around...Speaking of which:

I'll be printing and putting them together tomorrow. Please post in the separate badge thread if you would like one, and pick it up at my booth in the vendor area before or during the show. See you all there.

Hey Rich
I will take a badge if possible? I know I don't post here a lot but it would help me recognize the people I do know. Thanks

BTW - Not sure if you remember me but I scored a boxed Indiana Jones and the infernal machine (N64) from you last year, looking forward to seeing your stuff this year. Still kicking myself for passing on your CIB Nomad, ending up paying a lot more for one down the road.

Make sure to bring broken stuff by the Ben Heck Experience. Last year we fixed a few things, RROD 360 and maybe a TurboDUO, and this year we will have some extra parts for more repairs. I have some fuses for sega cd's and some replacement screens for Nomads, and I think someone will have parts for composite/rgb/s-video/whatever a/v mod you are looking for.

Any chance of fixing Game Gear screens that take forever to show anything due to the ghosting?

Sure...just add a post to the badge thread, and that will make easy for me to keep everything together. And yes, I remember discussing the Nomad with you...I think I still have it, but it sounds like I'll have to find a different buyer this year...see you there.

Apparently i'm bringing some of my dev equipment to show off at the Ben Heck Experiance... Wonder if you guys can take a look at my hand built Sega Saturn prototype that doesn't read discs?

Can you fix a Wii? Mine suddenly won't turn on anymore.

I also have a RROD 360. I tried to do the "washer fix" (or whatever it's called) and it worked for about a minute before crapping out again.

@WallyDawg: Would you have a PSP charger on hand? I have one with a busted door that I got for free, and it would be nice to see if I could get it fixed/working. I have a replacement door, but haven't bothered to pick up a charger yet, in case the thing is just plain shot.

It might be a cap problem or just a bad screen. Someone might have a spare screen from a dead unit so bring it on by.

Did it ever read discs? Sounds cool either way weather someone could fix it or not.

Wii "not turning on anymore" being a broad description but I'm sure someone has done Wii mods and fixes so bring it on by.

For 360, Gabe (benheck username G-Force) was fixing them last year. I do not know what he did to fix it, but he will be there this year.

Yeah I have a charger and I will probably buy a game up there too if you need to test it further.

For anything broken, just bring it on by and we can take a look and hopefully fix it. No promises as it depends on what is wrong/what happened to it and what parts we have, but since it's already broken so you got nothing to lose to have somebody take a look at it and hope for the best.

wallydawg, what's the typical rate to repair a RRoD'd 360? I've got one that I believe (if memory serves) the "e74" or "e75" issue with the first 360 I owned. Microsoft wouldn't repair it as the previous owner had the case spray painted and the warranty stick wasn't put back on.

Really?? That's so cool... I have a TurboDuo that needs an A/V port repair, and an X'Eye I'm considering getting an S-video mod for. Would I need to bring parts? Are you charging for the repairs?

Man, I am such a sucker for boxed systems... You can be sure I will be taking a close look at the Coleco and 7800. I've been meaning to get into pre-NES stuff. (Well, sort of pre-NES in the 7800.)

Will you have the hookups for a 360, or should I include a power supply, av cable and controller if I want a 360 looked at? I have a Halo edition Xbox360 with a single red light "73" error. It seems the 3-year warranty only covers 3 red lights or a "74" error...this thing is just as much a brick for me however, and it would be great if someone could take a look at it.

Thanks,
Rich

Just in case any of you Benheck forum guys would be interested in it, I will be bringing my 8bitdomain 2600 4switch s-vid mod with me to MGC to sell. I took it out of my 2600 when I swapped to the LE mod awhile back. Maybe one of you guys can tinker with it and make something good out of it . I'm also going to have a nice 7800 on hand for sale that I don't expect to keep very long on account of the fact that it's one of the few 7800s I've seen with a bezel that isn't completely demolished.

[Matt-El]

Anyone interested at the ben heck area with actually purchasing items with problems for a low rate?

Also there's this old video port i have questions on adapting on an old TV. Any experts with old video stuff?

[Goodwill Hunter]

If you didn't sign up for a badge, but had indicated in this thread that you would be going to the 2010 MWGC, before midnight on 3/21/10, I went ahead and added your name to the badge list. Check the final badge list in the first post of the badge thread, and track me down at my vendor booth before or during the show if interested.
