Sega Genesis Hardware Notes
Model 1 (the original, made in Japan or USA depending on year) and Model 2/3 (the smaller, later revisions) are both common and both hold up well mechanically — the cartridge slot doesn't have the NES's connector problems. Original power bricks are the more common failure point after decades of use; a dead brick doesn't mean a dead console.
