Why we photograph the inside
Replay started in a Hamburg flat with a hot-air station, a box of leaky Game Boys, and a habit of trusting nobody's "works perfectly." The first consoles got sold to friends, and the friends kept asking the same question: what did you actually do to it? So we started opening every unit on camera, counting the caps we replaced, and writing down what we couldn't fix. The photos weren't a marketing idea; they were the honest answer to a fair question.
The shop grew out of that habit. Today every console on the shelf is opened, recapped where it needs it, run for an hour, and graded against a scale anyone can read. The internal photo isn't a bonus. It's the receipt. If we can't show you the work, we don't list the console.
