Where it came from, what we did to it
An original Nintendo Entertainment System console, sold for parts or repair. It powers on but shows only a pink screen at boot, with or without a game inserted; reseating a cartridge sometimes shifts the screen to green, but it never fully boots into gameplay. The exact fault is unknown — it may need cleaning, cartridge-slot repair, motherboard or capacitor work, or video-related service. One controller is included, tested working on a different console, though it has some sticky residue and cosmetic wear.
