I put some auctions on eBay that some might like....

[Silentthunder]

Hello, I have been reading these board for many many months now.  I have even bought several parts for my cab that I am going to build.  I already bought an IPAC-2, 22 buttons, etc.  Anyway, I am getting ready to actually start building my cab.  Thats why I have put a couple interesting items on eBay.  Once both of these sell, I will have enough funds to build an awesome cab.  So go take a look at these 2 auctions and just remember...you are helping me fund my cab  

I'm not asking you to bid on these auctions, but if you know anyone who would remotely be interested in either, please show them or have them email me or whatever.  

I know this is my first post on this site, but it is definitely not my last.  I hope in the future I can contribute some information that could help someone else.

I know neither of these are the best craftsmanship, but hey, I made them myself and I think they are cool

Those are two very cool objects!  The Bud computer is very funny and at a good price.

What do you have left to get for your cab?

I love the games in a PC. That would reduce a lot of the cable clutter in my TV hutch. Too bad there's no Jaguar.....

Also, what connector did you use to mod the NES? My NES quit working a long time ago, it got to where I had to blow on the edge connector, put the cart in just right and sacrifice a young goat in order to get the darn thing to work.

I put that i the first sentence in the auction.

"A few months ago I decided to build my own ultimate game system.  I originally got the idea while watching Tech TV and seeing a similar game box called "Yoshi's Box".  After I saw that I was hooked and intent on making my own.  "

I checked ebay right after this thread started.... lots of 72 pin connectors for the NES on there... plus, I'm sure Googling might turn up a few direct links...

For the price of that bud computer you definitely got my bid.

You need a new 72-pin connector. They're pretty cheap on ebay. I've fixed and resold a few dozen NES's so I think I'm qualified to say that it's not difficult in the least. Provided there isn't a lot of corrosion on the NES board or you have a power supply issue, a new 72-pin will stop the blinks for the most part. It would also behoove you to clean the contacts on your cartridges w/ isopropyl alchohol and q-tips.

Less than $10 shipped. I ordered one and also some N64 joystick replacement parts, the kids ruined them playing Mario Party.
