Manufacturer description

Complete in box Sega Master System Console. This has been tested and works! The console has some wear, but over all good shape. The box has a lot of wear. Please view the pictures to get a good opinion on the box condition. This includes all that is pictured. The original pictures show a Nintendo RF adapter.. After I took that picture I found the correct Sega one (final picture). So I removed the Nintendo one and included the Sega one. I tested 20+ games on this console, so it is in good working order!
