Recap

Quick recap and clean on a second Nintendo Game Boy DMG-01. Less yellowed than the first and with a working screen. Still needs a replacement screen lens one day.

Another quick one. This time the OG got a recap, a cleanup and a some deoxit. One day, I'll have to get a screen lens for it, as I got it without one but unlike my first one, less yellowed shell and a working screen. #Nintendo #GameBoy #Tetris
