Remember when buying a retro console meant just plugging it in and playing? Yeah, those days are long gone. Enter Tito from Macho Nacho Productions, who recently embarked on what can only be described as a global treasure hunt for the NEC PC-KD863G. This isn’t just a monitor; it’s a rare, all-in-one CRT beast with a PC Engine built right inside.
The story of acquiring this piece of tech is pure adventure. It required a trip around the globe, a custom flight case, and a healthy dose of luck. But beyond the travelogue, it serves as a practical guide for anyone diving into the CRT market. Spoiler alert: almost every tube you buy will need some TLC. Tito walks viewers through the inevitable repairs and even shows off some serious trace repair work for the modding enthusiasts in the crowd.
The video is a love letter to retro gaming, featuring stunning shots of Japan and reunions with old friends. However, Tito’s quest isn’t quite complete. He’s still on the hunt for a matching set of PSP-101 speakers to finish the setup. If you have a spare pair gathering dust, now’s your chance to help complete the set and support the community.
