Sega — Master System
A full treatment for a Japanese Master System belonging to a friend. New caps, voltage regulator, thermal paste, cleaned connectors and controllers. Sent on its way looking and playing like new.
Today, we're taking care of this lovely Japanese Master System (MK-2000). Follow along below for a look at the journey to full restoration. 👇 #MasterSystem #Sega
Open it up and naturally it's dusty, so to the bath it is for the shell.
Replaced all the capacitors and reflowed most of the solder joints on the system. Also replaced the voltage regulator and thermal paste. Additionally, cleaned all the connectors and applied deoxit.
Cleaned the controllers as well and then reassembled everything. Looks much nicer now. Time to move on to testing.
Finally, the reward for all the hard work. Playing a bit of Alex Kidd in Miracle World, R-Type, Streets of Rage II and Monster Boy III. Going to apply some protectant and then we're done with this one. 😉 #RetroGaming #AlexKidd #streetsofrage #RTYPE #MonsterBoy
The final details before the sendoff. Wipe with isopropyl and then application of some 303 protectant. #RETROGAMING #Sega #Dreamcast #MasterSystem
