The big shelf
What's on this shelf
The short version
A drawer of things you can play on the train to Ramsgate. Game Boys, Game Gears, Lynxes and the early Nintendo DS — most have had a fresh screen and a new shell, because a thirty-year-old handheld earns its keep by still looking the part.
- IPS screen refits and battery swaps
- Original and aftermarket shells in stock
- Chargers and link cables sorted to match
How we sell it
Old handhelds live a hard life — pockets, beaches, the bottom of a rucksack. We open every one, clean the contacts, test the screen for dead lines and the speaker for crackle, and fit a fresh shell where the original is past it. A modern IPS panel turns a washed-out Game Boy into something you can actually see in the sun on the front at Margate, which is rather the point.
