    Aye NTSC, unboxed but it was really cheap. I posted here back a few pages when I bought it, the seller made a mistake with the shipping price. I ended up meeting him halfway as a goodwill gesture to the poor fellow.

    Been waiting eagerly to get it & clean it up/replace the 72pin connector.l

    Almost that time of year to watch it again. Every Christmas night I watch it, religiously. Truly vintage Steve Martin & John Candy at their very best :cool: Its hillarious, and the 'comedies' of today would also do well to take notes ;)

    The NTSC Nes arrived. Needs a thorough cleaning though before a camera goes near it, tis quite dirty as I expected from the pics. Looks like a smokers house or something, yellow grime that thankfully cleans off.

    Couple of things arrived this morning.
    I'll stick up a pic or two later but I really like it when you get the original receipt for stuff bought so long ago :)

    NTSC Nes. Cleaned up to mint status actually, got it for a really good price too, delivered to my door for €43, with one pad & the obligatory Super Mario/Duck Hunt cart.

    Panic over, Tiger Heli and Life Force ( Salamander) for the Nes arrived this afternoon.
    Hopefully they will work on the Famicom via adaptor.
    If not its not the end of the world, I seem to have the Nes kinda working right now.

    Oh, my Zapper guns have evaporated, can't find them anywhere, I need me some Wild Gunman!

    I'm tempted myself but unboxed will do me fine, those Super Star Wars titles are super hard and contain much that must have come from the editing room floor, but they are very cool.
    Any trades you looking to make, perhaps?

    They are b@stard hard in places yeah, love them though & the soundtrack in them all is really nice.

    Trade wise I'm open to offers, but not really after much except NTSC Snes stuff at the mo :)

    Looks a beauty. The finest looking console and joypad of them all imo.

    How come the power button is pressed in though? Super secret mod?

    Discharges the capacitors so you don't get fried when you open it up.

    Cheers dude, it was grubby as hell when it arrived. Took a bit of scrubbing, but it cleaned up really well & I'd now describe it as minty fresh. No mods, button was just pressed in from cleaning it & I failed to notice :o

    Cool looking console & pad for sure, pretty iconic they iz.

    True, they recommend yo do it when opening any console.
