Replacement screen lens for sliver Game Boy Pocket

Post by sega dude »

I have a sliver Game Boy Pocket I got a garage sale years ago. I want to replace the screen lens. When I went on ebay to look for them, I noticed they were all black. The lens on my pocket is sliver. Does there exist a sliver replacement lens or do I need to get a black one?

The silver screen was for a specific version of the gameboy pocket.
That said, I've never seen aftermarket silver screens. You can always gut an existing one, but then your job just got more expensive.

Kitsch-bent http://store.kitsch-bent.com/ does screen covers in a variety of colors, including silver, but he only has DMG gameboy and Sega Nomad screens currently.
Maybe you can buy him about it.

If the color is on the bottom of the lens, you could try plastic polish to clean it up some if it is just scuffs.
