Sega Master system peripherals
tradeshow pins and figures

What is wrong with the VB?  I could either try to fix it or just use it for parts, I'm a VB freak.

How scratched up is the lens on those 3D glasses?

And would you rape me for shipping to MA?   ;D

LCD shutters. Basically one side goes dark for 1/60th of a second, while displaying one image on screen. Then the other side goes dark, while the tv displays a different frame. It alternates like this so fast you perceive 1 image, but it's 3D because each eye sees something slightly different.

(It might not actually be timed on 1/60th of a second, but optimally that's what would be possible. Whether or not Sega managed to get it working at that optimal rate I don't know.)

The VB is fixable... it's either a dirty connector, as they said, or a tiny bit of soldering of the socket... signal isn't getting through properly.

Cool on the glasses, I'll keep an eye but may not have any spare cash right now.

I have those 3D glasses for the Sega Master.  They're actually pretty cool.  And that joystick for the SMS is very comfortable... it was always my preferred controller instead of the standard controllers.... maybe I should pick up the one you have so I have 2... :)

I have a working VB, so that one has to go.

Everyone should have multiple VBs.
