My Virtual Boy Pocket. Black OEM front shell, red OEM back shell. Glass lens from Bluish Squirrel. It's a red led backlight mod, biverted. I used a 4 position switch and some resistors for 3 levels of brightness and off. Next to it is a BennVenn El Cheapo that my wife was kind enough to make a label for to match the scheme.
The action of the buttons is fantastic on this. However, the red backlight will sear your retinas out if you play too long. A couple of games of Tetris, and the whole world looks green for a while. I think it just adds to the Virtual Boy experience.

Thanks! I am interested in the weird Soviet equivalents of things. I'm also into fountain pens, and recently found out a out the Soyuz pen. It had a semi-hooded gold nib, and looked a lot like a Sheaffer's Imperial 1. I'm tempted to get both and compare.
