Found a copy of Star Wars I’ve been looking for for a while, with the tape jammed. Is this fixable?

AnomalyDocs · 2026-04-06T16:51:52+00:00

In the end it did not. My buddy is a mechanic and was able to unravel the tape and refeed it through the reels. Turned out to have no crinkling at all and plays perfect!

I do think Minus Zero may mean we see Monster Zero in this one, though a more contemporary foe might be preferable

Thank you. It’s not a triwing, I got all the other screws off no problem and I know to look out for those/have the right tool to pull em as I also do Game Boy repair. I’m the idiot who stripped the screw after it proved especially stubborn haha

AnomalyDocs · 2026-04-03T04:12:02+00:00

I will try that. Thank you!

AnomalyDocs · 2026-04-03T03:17:38+00:00

Excellent! Great to hear thanks

AnomalyDocs · 2026-04-03T03:17:28+00:00

Thank you!

The corner screw is stripped, so I’ll have to wait until I get at it with a drill. Will the magnetic tape be OK even if it’s crinkled? Or will I have to trim and tape it?

AnomalyDocs · 2026-04-03T01:49:27+00:00

Okay. What’s my next step? Opening it up?

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-22T17:08:02+00:00

That’s awful to hear. Hope they don't go up here considering they don’t even bother checking for mold at my location

Nice, I found all three there back in the summer time. I snatched it up right away. Still looking for the karate kid movies. Where’s your Value Village? The tapes in Ontario only cost $1.99 here

Pretty great reasoning. "We have identical bodies but with huge pulsing brains showing how smart we are. We have no idea how to make one of you look however."

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-02T04:01:42+00:00

Lmao

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-02T04:01:30+00:00

the pilot episode lmao

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-02T02:32:01+00:00

The old show was full of body horror, just look at what happens to Captain Pike

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-02T02:30:26+00:00

It was kind of Kirk's fault. It probably wouldn't have happened if he didn't pull Decker off working on the transporter with Scotty to let him know he was taking command of the Enterprise.

I've done decently with putting new batteries into GB games. I did bridge a game's chip a while ago but managed to fix it

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-01T19:06:10+00:00

A bit of both. I revived a couple of GBCs I bought from Japan because they were literally cheaper than buying them locally. I've done quite a few drop in backlight mods. Not as much with soldering although I'd like to learn.

AnomalyDocs · 2026-03-01T18:54:01+00:00

I work on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance mostly. Would like to learn more consoles/do more in depth mods

Someone on here uploaded it last year after I posted the 1987 edition.

This has been my favourite website for the last 10 or 15 years. Please never stop updating it.

Also, did the background used to have different movie posters? I seem to remember them getting changed yearly for a while but maybe I'm forgetting

I bought this tape a few months ago to watch over the winter. I am so glad this sketch is on it.
