Did I read right in that this has been repainted Steve?

Yes, it was done by the same guy in the UK I got a couple of these off of a while back. It actually looks well, but yes it is resprayed and not restored using Retr0brite or anything like that.

It's one of those video cables that looks like a headphone socket that connects to the console and then that leads out to the normal composite red/yellow/white connections.

Two is always better than one
When I sell this I'll be left with two of them so all will be well in the world.

With the included adapter, I think so.
The famicom is not region locked anyway so I don't see why not. Maybe someone else here might know for sure.

CiDeRmAn

It'll play every Nes game I throw at it anyways.
A great machine

Is it mains or battery powered Keith? The one I have is total garbage & I need a new one

The Last Bandit

If it the battery powered one then avoid, no torque in them at all and useless for cutting.

Oh I know, the one I have is battery powered & it lasts all of about a minute before the battery drains. Takes longer to drill holes than to do some mods with it. Mains ones are the only option

Jack burton

yeah I got a mains dremel a while back. handiest little machine I have

Optimus Prime

It is the battery powered one, i just tried it there though and its pretty good i think. I have a normal dremel already myself and its just as good as that i think. Plus you get a 50 piece kit in, for 10 bits in b&q its normally around a tenner anyways so i think its pretty good deal.

Optimus Prime

The dremel i have, the "real" dremel, the battery wastes on that too after a couple of minutes cutting through a screw or whatever. So id put this on par with that. didnt know you could get actual plug in ones..

Yeah I swore I'd never buy another battery one, they just run out of juice too quickly & as mentioned they lack torque

Steve X2

I got a battery powered Dremel last year. Pretty decent it is actually and the battery last ages. Decent enough torque on it as well for what i need.

Got it from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dremel-Cordless-Rotary-Attachments-Accessories/dp/B0040GJ41Q

I've used it for all sorts of mods and cutting (plastic, metal, glass etc). Picked up some cheap diamond cutting wheels as well and they do a great job.



The really cool thing is you get full power until the battery dies. So it doesn't seem to gradually slow down, it just stops.

It took a few goes but I eventually mastered the art of cutting very thin glass without breaking or shattering it using the Dremel.
I did get a few face fulls of shattered glass before I managed to make the below tiny vase though :0/

Size of this monster! 50" not bad price if ya had the room or means to transport it!

Is this the one that was on the arcade hits pack for wii?

Optimus Prime

Good price, but you have to weigh up the amount of room that thing would take up haha.. is the game even any good?

o1s1n

Holy ****ing ****! If I had a garage that would be an instabuy!

True, tis a bargain though.
