  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I-C43lSW6o&amp;t=1215">20:15</a> wait. You sure that was a good polarity? It looks like you are soldering a negative side of a capacitor (leg with stripe) to a positive pad.

  I had Game Gear as a teen through twenties while in the U.S Coast Guard. You could pick up TV on an antenna, even at sea. &nbsp;You could play incredible games in full color. When all you had was one bunk and one locker for yourself and all your worldly possessions, Game gear was an amazing luxury.

  Man you got a killer deal on that. Those games were worth more than 49 dollars most likely.

  Enjoyed it! I had use of one of these in my youth and between the games and TV tuner it was a blast. It absolutely went through batteries like nobody&apos;s business though of course! 😂

  OK. I am intrigued by that &quot;fresh baked olive loaf&quot; handheld! Someone should have made that happen!

  Heads up! The two caps nearest to the &quot;Made In Japan&quot; on the main PCB have the polarity flipped from the original. Check @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I-C43lSW6o&amp;t=686">11:26</a> vs @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I-C43lSW6o&amp;t=1240">20:40</a>
