Although this console is used and may show minor cosmetic wear, our team restores every Genesis carefully. First, we clean the shell, polish the ports, and service the cartridge slot to ensure smooth and reliable game reading. Then, we test power stability, AV output, and both controller ports for responsiveness. We also verify the headphone jack and volume slider for proper stereo audio functionality.
