That's a major problem with people over-estimating their electronics knowledge and soldering skills (and what keeps me very busy). Unfortunately, they sometimes put the gear beyond repair, which is sad.

Bryce.

Classical mistake you make when you are a teenager. Or at least, it happened to me. I never destroyed a machine, but I remember, for example, to overheat a solder point removing a capacitor and having to reconstruct a part of the track afterwards, or assuming that all the old stereo amplifiers would sound like crap just because the capacitors were very old. In some cases this is actually true and you need to replace a few, but in many others there is nothing wrong with it. I have a tube amp around (my uncle makes and restores these kind of things since forever) with oil capacitors that works simply great after God knows how many years

I used to sell region switched 32x's online.
Still have a few I could sell.
They sell very well and for a very good price

If mine is destroyed, what sort if price are we talking? I may be interested.

Edit: thinking about it, I may be interested anyway! I have 2 md2 consoles so I may be interested in another one anyway.

Not being a MegaDrive owner or fan, I passed up an offer for a 32x and bundle of 32x games (all Japanese titles as far as I can remember) for a stupidly low price a few months back

I'd no idea of their rareness or how many would have wanted it. I dare not mention the price!

You know the best thing about this forum.... The freedom to discuss any retro (or even modern) platform and not get abuse or arguments of them. I cannot imagine other specific retro forums being as accommodating and I love it

Thanks guys for allowing me to follow this flight of fancy into 68000 based gaming on the MD and A600.

Out of interest, how much would you sell a region switched 32X for ?

I still have my megadrive somewhere

The 32x is getting quite expensive to buy now but games too.

I've always considered you sensible and intelligent.
I'm re-evaluating that

I was having an off day that day, had my hands full with other stuff I'd just picked up and had already spent more than I had intended.

Bryce.

OK. Bryce could unfortunately not find his 23pin Amiga rgb connectors, so I am still in the market for a cable if any one can help I'd be grateful.
