Manufacturer description
Complete working set. My Sega Master from the 80's! This model has Hang-On loaded to it, so did not come with an actual game in this version. I did however test all functionality with a cartridge. The only thing not tested is the gun controller as you need an older TV to use these. Looks like it did when it was stored! All in very good shape and all Sega original pieces other than the AV cable. This only included RF, so I am adding an AV cable. Some residue in spots on controller and power cords from sitting in the foam for 35 years. Box is good overall with some normal shelf wear. Nice…
