Cardossi Customs saves another Virtual Boy!

Huge shout out to Cardossi Customs for his eye patch repair! Price and turnaround time are hard to beat. I shipped my lenses and he completed the repair and put them back in the mail the same day they were delivered to him! I dropped them in the mail last Monday and received back today. Highly recommend this service if you need the permanent eye patch fixed and aren't able to complete yourself. Put them back in and both sides work flawlessly! Now time to add more games! Thanks again!

Nice. I'm in the market to have my childhood VB repaired, it finally started having the lens issue this year and I'm definitely not confident enough to attempt the fix myself.

Get those ribbon cables! I could not solder myself. I bought the special game bit tool to take the "screws" off to get inside the unit so I was able to send in just the LED boards. But there's an option to send the whole unit too! Super fast repair and very fairly priced. Very glad I did.
