Pocket money
The short version
From wood-grain Atari to the curvy plastic of the PlayStation 2 — the back wall is two decades of living-room machines, every one switched on and run before it earns its price tag. Where a console needs a recap or a new laser to behave, it gets the work on the bench first.
- 8, 16, 32 and 64-bit, PAL and switchable
- Recaps, RGB mods and region work done in-house
- Sold with a tested pad, the right PSU and a lead
How we sell it
A console only goes on this shelf once it has run on the bench for a good stretch — long enough to catch the faults a quick power-on hides. Picture wobble, dim sound, a save battery on its way out: that lot gets sorted before the price label goes on. If a machine can't be made right for sensible money it goes in the spares drawer instead, because there is nothing worse than carrying a dud home on the train.
