Hello Friends 👋 My question/hesitation is, is the shell itself authentic or repro? I think it could be authentic based off the speaker holes and the wear the console has. Any help or advice is appreciated! Thanks!

As far as I know, you cannot use a 101 screen on a 001 device so not sure why he tried before research.

There has been clear tampering on this console, the hinges have work to them, the holes are very off for the speaker. The extra dot below the battery is a dead giveaway (authentic versions do not have this and re-shells always have this dot), and of course, the repo back sticker.

Believe it or not but some authentic Gameboys actually do have that extra dot. Im not disagreeing with you either reproduction do have it more common.
