We'll see :)
There is definitely more I want, but some of it is pretty expensive, so I may have to slow down :)
Yes, better to be reasonable !

Of course if I can find some interesting hand held stuff it does mean I'll have room for more :)

Well I found a game, Turok, for less than a tenner and a 4MB memory add in so hopefully it'll all be here in a week or so for some proper testing and in the meantime I'll clean it up.

Well, the controller arrived this morning and it's a grubby as it looked in the eBay listing!!!

Its stripped down and the case and buttons are soaking in hot soapy water. We''ll see how it turns out, looks well used but internally it looks OK

Doesn't look like the nicest of D-Pad ergonomics. Hope it feels better than it looks. The D-pad doesn't get much use in N64 catalogue though.

Apart from the grime, the D-Pad feels fine. Now drying after a hot soapy bath!

All looking much nicer after a good clean:

And the stains seem to have come off after a bit of a scrub with magic eraser :)

Well, my Turok cart arrived today, the final thing I needed to test having had the 4MB RAM Pak arrive the other day (This isn't needed for Turok BTW, but nice to have). Here it is ready to go:

And all is well :)

In addition the controller works 100% fine so I'm pretty happy. Now all I need is for the clowns over at Ali Express to explain where my Everdrive is since it's showing as delivered in Liecester, which is nowhere near me!!!
Very pleased with how everything has cleaned up, it all looks very good.
