cowdog360 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I just completed restoring a few Game Gears, and am selling one that is completely ready to go. It has a new high quality Nichicon/Panasonic capacitors, and the new McWill VGA LCD screen. If you haven't seen one, you'll be amazing, it makes the Game Gear what it was meant to be. Since this is a used system, the body has a few minors scratches and scuffs. It does have the original hard plastic LCD lens cover, which has some minor scratching (I polished a lot out with Novus 3, 2, 1). I opted to not put one of the eBay style replace lens covers on it becuase they are a soft plastic and are generally cloudy and don't hold up as well. Since they're cheap, you can always change it out later if the stock one bothers you. The McWill Mod features various screen size settings and scanline options. I did not install a VGA port on this. Asking $210 plus shipping in the United States please. Batteries and games NOT included. Does include the two battery doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catskull Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 What are you asking for an LCD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdog360 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Typically they are $108 + $6 for priority mail shipping. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsuinnc Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 do you add the LCD to the game gear just to make it better or is this generally intended to repair units with broken screens. I think I have 4 or 5 lying around(and a couple of Nomads). I rarely play them but I have never had any problems with the screens. Or any problems for that matter. Do the screens wear out with age like my poor old Microvision LCD? (btw, got anything I can put in a Microvision with LCD rot? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdog360 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 The new LCD can be used both as a replacement or an improvement, and believe me it is a huge improvement. Regarding screen rot, I don't think the originals have that as bad as the microvision, but they don't seem to hold up that great over time either. Sadly, no microvision replacements exist yet!
