This is a BARE console only! NO cables! NO games! NO accessories! Any pictures of the refurbishing process are stock photos, but any pictures of the system are of the actual item you will receive.
This is the BEST Sega CD that money can buy! This system is fully reconditioned inside and out, and backed by a ONE YEAR warranty. Every part of the system has been removed to be individually inspected, cleaned, adjusted, repaired/replaced as needed, then carefully reassembled. Functionally, this system will perform like the day it was first built.
As they age, video game consoles require not only routine maintenance and cleaning, but skilled technicians to perform repairs and adjustments. If you buy a Sega CD, buy it from someone that not only tells you what they did to the system, but from someone that is qualified to work on it, too. I have a degree in Computer Engineering and over 15 years of experience repairing electronics. Restoring video game consoles to their former glory is MY JOB, not a hobby.
Every Sega CD I sell has had the following maintenance and repairs performed:
- COMPLETELY disassembled for cleaning
- All case parts run through a parts washer
- Every last bit of dust blown out
- All boards ultrasonic cleaned
- NEW backup battery installed
- ALL NEW capacitors
- Drive belt replaced
- Drive rails and gears lubed
- Laser cleaned and adjusted
- External panel fuse installed
- Case polished to remove light scratches
- Plastic protecting finish applied
Despite the careful work done to this console, it is still a failure prone electronic device with a lot of complex parts. There's simply no telling what can go wrong. That's why a ONE YEAR warranty is included! If anything (except water damage and other obvious misuse) goes wrong in that time, just send it back in for repair, replacement, or a refund! Shipping costs will not be reimbursed.
FINAL NOTES: Cosmetically, everything possible is done to restore the original appearance of the console. However, it is still a used system. Please do not expect to receive a museum quality system in mint cosmetic condition. There will be some scratches and scuffs. These consoles are intended for a gamer who will be playing the system, and need them to function perfectly. They are not meant to be framed and put on display. If you're looking for collector grade cosmetic condition, please look elsewhere.
