I watched this one as well. She also picked up a free ColecoVision. If you read through the comments on Retroware (including mine) there are a few comments about the TE not powering up. Looks like it might be a dead unit or in need of some love. Either way, $10 for a TE is awesome even if it is just for parts and R-Type.

However, then I think about how much my time is worth and how I don't want to waste it going from flea market to flea market or garage sale to hopelessly find a rare gem.

They've done a follow up video, yeh it seems it doesn't power up properly.
