My Supergrafx is stuck in customs for 11 days now... ;-(

Bummer.

That's happened to me more than a few times.
Your situation is probably different. Maybe just a backlog at customs.
In this side of the world it's a common occurrence that the custom officials get confused with the customs duty fee assessment. Usually me sending them a copy of the PayPal/whatever invoice is enough to release the item/s.

There must be something in the air, because I finally broke down and got a Supergrafx set.

I hadn't bought many games in a while, because prices are through the roof and I have more than enough to play...  but it is tax return tradition to splurge on something nice!

Games just came in today so I didn't get a chance to play yet, the only straggler is Battle Ace which I got from a different seller.

Ok so it arrived. It's a repair unit. Any idea what is missing here?

Anyone got good motherboard pics? I just saw a pic on the internet that also doesn't have anything there. So perhaps nothing is missing.

I would check for cracks in the board.

Thanks yeah I haven't powered it yet and just inspecting the board. It's weird because it looks like a 7805 goes there and maybe they had some design changes last minute.

Supergrafx all fixed up! Here is the adapter I made to work with a PC Engine AC adapter.

Congrats on the fix.  My game room is a mess because I have new shelves coming.  As a motivator, I am not going to hook up the Supergrafx until I put the shelves together and clean up the mess.

...my girlfriend said "I start throwing stuff out in one month if you don't get that room in order."  She is crazy enough to do it too, home co-ownership is the best.
