Woo hoo!! I finally found a model 3 Genesis. I found one complete with the box, manual, and all hook ups for only 10 bucks. It's about time I found one!!! I don't think that I had too bad of a weekend!! :)

Excellent! I don't have a Genesis right now, but if I ever got one - I would get the 3. I am a sucker for miniturization....

That's pretty damn cheap. I've had a total of 5 including still having 2 currently and i don't think I paid less than 25-30 for any one of them. Now all you need is to mod it with fabulous S-Video, like this one I've done.

And of course a pretty LED

I wasn't exactly searching for it, it wasn't on my list but the first one I ever saw they wanted 50 bucks for only THE SYSTEM!!! Insane man! This is the second one I ever saw so when the guy at seven mile fair wanted 10 I took that sucker right away. Damn bastard wouldn't sell it for 8 though. :( But I have all three model Genesis's!!! Woo hoo!! Finally.

Damn!! That is pretty damn sweet!! How much better is the quality with the S-Video? How long did it take for you to make that?

The video is a ton better. The first one I did, I was absolutely amazed how brilliant the colors in Sonic looked. Some people say that the Genesis 1 with S-Video, outputs the best Genesis picture, but I don't think so. I've sold 2 modded Genesis 3's and I modded one for a customer and they all told me how much better the video quality was and how impressed they were with the picture.

Having done a few now, it takes me about 1-2 hours depending on how intetested I am in whatever is on my TV in the workshop. Not to mention that I completely disassemble and refurbish the console, and the cartridge slot.

Nice find! I got two of them, they are great for taking to other peoples houses or vacations because they are so small and portable.

Awesome. The Genny 3 was the first Genesis I ever had. It also seems that the third model is the hardest of the(3) main models, in my area atlease.

Shit!! You suck!! Where did you get yours from? I see you're from Milwaukee. Go to 7 Mile Fair much? Ever find some reasonable stuff from there?

Hey Guys

Don't forget the Genny 3 has an extra wide slot that takes megadrive carts without a problem. :)

p.s. my personal fav video output is RGB from a model 1

Heh, if you can get S-Video or RGB out of the Genesis 3, it might be a palatable system to use.

The sound will still be bad, though.

That's my favorite part of the model 3. :) For me, I bought mine new when they were on clearance at Wal-Mart. I believe I paid 25 or 30 for it.

Care to post a writeup of how you do that Genny 3 mod?

I've got one CIB, it's my primary Genesis, and I'd like to tinker with it some, make it a bit cooler, as I never intend to sell it.

$10 is a good deal. Cha-ching. I'd have bought it in a heartbeat if I was there.
