Used Nintendo GAME BOY COLOR Red CGB-001 Handheld System Boxed - Tested & Working

What We Did Before This Ships

Every console we sell is opened up and serviced by hand.
We don't just confirm it powers on — we look inside.

• This unit was fully disassembled and cleaned internally; dust was removed from all components.
• All boards and electrical contacts were cleaned with ethanol and a fast-drying, residue-free electronics cleaner to remove oxidation and residue.
• Moving mechanical parts were lubricated with a light application of silicone grease for smooth, quiet operation. (We do not apply grease to electrical contacts — they are cleaned only.)
• Electrolytic capacitors are replaced only when there is visible corrosion or leakage — nothing more, nothing less. For console families known for capacitor failure, a full recap is performed as standard.
• If a console cannot be properly restored, we do not sell it.
• After reassembly, the unit is tested with an actual game: video, sound, and controller input are all confirmed.
• Before we seal the box, we power the console on one more time and confirm it is still working.
• Every console includes 30 days of support after it reaches you.

A note on power: This is a battery-powered handheld and does not connect to household mains, so no voltage transformer is required. (Batteries are not included unless stated.)

A note on region: This is a Japanese Game Boy (or Game Boy Color). The hardware is region-free — cartridges from any region fit and run without restriction. Japanese cartridges will display in Japanese; North American and European cartridges will display in their original language.

If anything here isn't covered, just ask — questions are always welcome.
