Sorry, I'll have to confiscate that RPi3B+Welp, new Raspberry Pi 3 B+ released today, and I've been meaning to get a Pie for ages so I decided to just buy this one.
EDIT: Along with this, I decided to opt for this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BXLXD8/
And I ordered 2 64GB micro SD Cards. One for my Vita's psvsd (finally) and one for the Pi 3 B+

Had this old crusty Atari Sears Light Sixer & games gave to me out of a garage for free today. I tested it out soon as I got home to see if it worked. I got to work on the first try but the reset button didn't work, so I couldn't actually start any games. After taking it apart I found like 6 cracked solder joints on the reset switch. After reflowing the joints it works great, even cleaned up nicely. Pcb cracked joints\Game pics in spoiler.
Also purchased the Super UFO 8 Snes Save backup thing, haven't received it yet. I'm mainly just looking to backup afew saves before I loose them.
Yeah I spent alittle time cleaning the console, not sure what the best method is but on Atari I like to use armorall after cleaning, really makes it stand out.Niiicccceeee. Refurbing this stuff is one of my favorite parts....soaking the shell, getting at the sticks & paddles with soapy water and a toothbrush, etc.

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of the long term effects.Some of my older collecting buddies SWEAR by Armor All, but I'm not a fan of it. (I've seen the effects of it years later, making various vintage materials sticky, tacky, slimy, and even breaking down surfaces in some instances.)
For Atari stuff, the shell can be soaked (toothbrush & soap are GREAT for those grooves) and the paddles & sticks can be taken apart and soaked, as well. With a bit of elbow grease you can have it all SHINING.
Have fun!
Fun fact: Back in the late 70s, my older brother discovered that you can replace the red joystick button with a common ChapStick cap!
