[Is the "Console" Concept Dead?]

The console concept has certainly evolved (not nessecarily for the better), but I don't think it's truly dead. For me, its always been a software issue. No PC can claim to run all PC games, certain ones won't work or won't work well depending on what's under the hood. Same thing with a lot of mobile games- no Android device can run all things labeled 'android apps', for example.

 

For now, if it's a PS4 game, any PS4 will play it. It may look nicer on a Pro, but everything runs on every PS4. Same with Xbox one X when it comes out. The day a game hits that requires a Pro or an X is the day the console truly dies.

[That's a lot of packaging for one TurboDuo game!]

You'd think if they were that concerned, they'd ship it IN AN ACUTAL BOX. At least CD jewel cases are easy to replace.

What make and model is you great grandma's radio? There is a chance that knobs can be found for it as there are places making new knobs for certain makes and models.

 

I have no idea! I've never found a good resource to try and figure it out- I took a couple pictures of it.

I'm really not sure which knobs are original (if any). Dad says the wooden one, Mom says the plastic ones. I'd be happy with a period appropriate set of 4, but I don't know what the manufacture date is, so I'm stuck on that one.

That is a very cool find!

 

Do you work old radios often? I've always wanted to get the knobs on Great Grandma's fixed, but I have no idea which knobs are 'correct'.

I just picked up the European version from Portugal myself. It's in English, but there's very little to be translated so I doubt you'll see much else.

 

My advice for game hunting- hit the foreign markets. You'll find better/cheaper options outside the US. For example, I just won a Yahoo Japan auction for Pokémon Breeder Mini CIB, for $1400 yen. After deputy fees and shipping to the US (by far the most expensive part) I suspect to out no more than $40 for it. Good luck!
