Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.

It looks great! ๐Ÿ™‚

OMG I just came home with a Sanyo DS13320 from the side of the road and I am ECSTATIC!!! It couldn't be more perfect for an NES, and it looks in great condition externally.

I haven't plugged it in yet. It doesn't appear to be wet anywhere outside or inside, so hopefully it was put outside after it rained this morning.

Should I do or check anything before plugging it in and trying to power it on?

DS13320

If it looks like it's never been wet plug it into a power bar so you can flip it off if anything goes 'wrong'. If you aren't sure it's totally dry a day in a warm room wont hurt it (I left mine in the garage for a week but mostly out of apathy).
