Just a nerd who repairs and rebuilds crazy stuff...restoring retro gaming gear and computers is my therapy!

@LarryBundyJr Let's go! Paprium on the SteamDeck 🤣

Very sad day for retro gaming and YouTube. @pdqc1971 has unfortunately passed away. His documentaries were my absolute favorites, along with his off colored and often corney jokes. You will be missed good sir and ty for all you've done ❤️😭

@Gladson_MF_ @retrotink2 I was having a not so great time getting it set myself. I did find some premade profiles that you can tweak for your setup, but get you in the ballpark.

Downscaling with the #Retrotink4kCE because, why not?! 1080p HDMI from my PC downscaled to 240p on my PVM. Retro style games look 🔥🔥🔥 @retrotink2 nailed it with this thing!! Thank you sir and keep up the amazing work!

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

And just for 💩 and giggles, here's a modern game, Rust, downscaled 🤣

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

@retrotink2 Ill have to give that a shot when I get mine out of storage. In the middle of moving, so I only brought the PVM.

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

Finally got a Naomi! Made even better by the fact that it came with a Netboot setup! Now to get my tri sync monitors up and running so I can run it in Hi-res as it should be 😍

LET'S FUGGIN GOOOOO! Was finally able to bring home the Sega AstroCity cab today. Need to troubleshoot the monitor some more but I'm stoked to finally have it. Can't wait to finish it up and get to sit down and play.

@TakiUdon_ No preorder but you have to do something about that checkout process. Had issues with address/zip code with both rounds. Everything was correct but still rejected it. Got through once and it rejected my card despite correct info. Verified with CC company before and after.

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

@TakiUdon_ Worst checkout process. Still have the zip code issue for absolutely no reason.

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

@TakiUdon_ Had it in my cart and kept saying wrong address. After a time, it took it and went to my Visa, then kept declining it. Even called the CC company hours before to allow an overseas charge. Called after and they didn't even see the attempts. Disappointed, but unfortunately expected

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

@antongale Fun times!!

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

Super stoked!! Big estate sale down here in the Houston area and a friend was able to grab me a system Ive been wanting for a looooong time. He even one up'd himself and found a Woz Edition. Power supply was missing but that's an easy fix ❤️❤️❤️

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

And a HUGE thanks to Luke at #Console5 for the big help in slapping together a custom capacitor kit for this one. After a few emails, we had a kit made up and at the house in a matter of days👍👍 Always recommend Console5 for caps and accessories!!!

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

Another #CRT saved from the scrap bin. #Atari #SM124 monitor I received a while back. Proprietary video cable was cut off and the original caps looked like they had been through hell. (Channeling my inner @pdqc1971) The inside was rusty, crusty, and oh so musty!🤣But lives again

[Aaron Elfstrom @CableBoxMods]

The Sony #PVM 8044Q got some much needed love a little while back. Swapped out the troublesome trimmer caps (cause B&W picture) and replaced the leaking power supply caps. Now she should be good to go for many more years to come...and yes the tally light is purple 😂
