The build,
step by step.
Studio-grade. The clear acrylic panels are cut on a CO2 laser — geometry impossible to achieve by hand. Edge finishing and panel alignment checked under controlled lighting before the build leaves the bench.
- 01
Full teardown
Every layer separated on an anti-static mat. The original shell removed and set aside; what remains is the bare console — motherboard, ports, cartridge slot — ready to be reframed.
- 02
Motherboard service
Capacitors inspected and recapped where needed. Full cleaning of the PCB and contact points.
- 03
Custom clear acrylic shell
The original case replaced with precision-cut clear acrylic panels, each cut on a CO2 laser. The motherboard, cartridge slot, controller ports, and AV connections are all visible from outside — not behind plastic.
- 04
RGB lighting
Multi-color LED array inside the shell, controlled from a phone app. Lights up the entire console from within. Pick the color, dial in the brightness, set the speed.
- 05
Original AV connections preserved
Composite output and 32X expansion compatibility unchanged.
- 06
Reassembly under spec
Every panel aligned, every screw torqued, console powered and tested with multiple cartridges before it leaves the bench.
