Off Topic: Game And Watch Bits

[ukvac] Off Topic: Game And Watch Bits
Hi

I know it's off topic, but as most arcade players have old retro stuff thought
I'd ask.

I managed to get 2 game and watches for £3 at a car boot but one is missing a
battery cover. Does anyone know where I can get one, or have an old knackered
one ready to throw out?

I'd like it in red, but I'm not fussy.

What GnW's did you get mate? Battery covers are almost impossible to find, you're better off waiting to find another unit really. Sorry to be a bringer of bad tidings!

Fortunately (or unfortunately as it may be!) these are pretty common GnWs, esp the Mario, so you should have no problem finding replacement parts. The Fire would have definatrluy been the better find of the 3 in my opinion, althought still fairly "easy" to come by (comparitively speaking). Try the addresses for CCNUK James gave ya, you should get some help. Failing that I'm sure I could hunt summat out for ya.
