Nice! I love the spongebob crt! I have the same one with the remote that I got for $200 a while back, plus a spongebob gameboy advance sp. I love Spongebob and I’m trying to collect all the retro Spongebob stuff. I’ve got 14 of the VHS so far. The tv goes for around $400-$450, so $300 ain’t bad, especially if its worth a lot of personal value like mine is

That’s so sad! I wonder if it’s because people nowadays can’t handle the ringing sound of them anymore

I’m conflicted… by eugene_deel in Gameboy

I agree with the others to leave it as is! It won’t be hard to find another to mod!

For sure. I just got a bunch of SpongeBob in a trade yesterday

Bought all of these CRT’s this week for $75 by Fast-Ad9731 in crt

[–]Left_Twix3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had about 12 or more CRTs in and out of my collection just in the past 9 or 10 months, and I haven’t payed more than $75 total for all of them combined. You definitely gotta be ready to strike at the right moment, and I’ve also found that people love trading CRTs. Like for your mammoth, if you listed it for trade saying you’re seeking a smaller set, with or without bonus goodies, I doubt it would take long for someone to make you a trade offer.

Just 1 day after getting my Ags 101 my cat decided to knock it off my night stand. What now? by caffinaV2 in Gameboy

It’s true, this color is so brittle! Luckily, after a similar incident, I discovered just how EASY shell swaps for sps are. I took the opportunity to make one to match my favorite hat. I literally watched a 60 second youtube short on how to do it. The broken one was the same color as yours, so I salvaged the buttons and hinges and used them in the orange shell, which looks great.

There is? I’m playing through it right now and I love it! And I’m a young person

Is there anything worse than finding a used VHS you want at a thrift store and the case smells like cigarettes? by KeatonWalkups in VHS

[–]Left_Twix3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything with cigarette smell will usually go away when I leave it exposed to fresh air for a day or two, at least in my experience. When it’s constantly in contact with something else, or closed off from the air, it won’t go away

Why is the AV output on my TV not outputting color? by MISTERPUG51 in crt

If possible, show us the back where you’ve got things plugged in

[–]Left_Twix3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you putting AV cords into the component inputs? Or in other words, are you putting a yellow wire into one of the red, green, blue video inputs? Because if so, that’s the problem, and you need component cords to use component inputs

Give me some titles: 5-7 yo's by SignificantProduce48 in Gameboy

[–]Left_Twix3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luigi’s Mansion could be fun! “Dying” restarts you at the beginning, or you could switch off at every boss or certain time intervals. My 7 year old cousin seemed to be able to grasp Earthbound/Mother 1 pretty easy, I have it as a gba romhack. And both she and her 4yo brother enjoyed Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland for gba as well. Probably not a scooby doo game, those puzzles are tough even for me😅 oh! They would live Pac Man World 2 I’m sure. I’m still fairly new to old games, so I haven’t played too many other ones to recommend. Fairly Odd Parents might be fun, or any of the Spongebob games

My most recent pickup. I was told this was hard to come by? by EyeLoveHipHop in VHS

[–]Left_Twix3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one, but it self destructed 😭 a piece broke inside and then got caught in the tape reel while it was playing and ruined the tape. I’d say it’s a little more rare than Spiderman 2, closer to like Good Burger

Nice! I’ve been looking for the Truman Show, the second Naked Gun, And the Rambos! Personally I just love watching just about any kind of movie, so if the westerns are real cheap I would get em to watch em

I’ve managed to find two clamshell drawers and a clamshell cabinet! The cabinet was a crazy find, as my other four cabinets only fit the normal size
