WTB: NES Controller Port

[ften]

                    Does anyone have the the front controller port of a NES they want to part with.  I can't seeing paying the 20 bucks shipping on Ebay for a NES system when all I want is the front ports. 

Thanks

how do you want me to take this thing apart?  do you want the whole board or only the plastic? 

[ften]

       Just the front face plate for it (the thing that has the red 1 and 2) and the actually controller plugs. I only need an inch or two of the wire they are attached to, as I'll just be wiring it into other wire I have.

Thanks

do you know about wiring snes controllers, nes/snes hardware, all that good stuff?  i'll send you this, but you got to help me if i ever decide to make something.  i figure you'd have an NES if you were that into it, though.  you're just gonna use it for your arcade?  can i get shocked by cutting these off or if the wires touch?

im a big NES modder, dont worry about getting shocked, the ports are modular and just unplug ,besides only 1 wire has power and its only 5 volts when the system is on.   

heres something to think about, USB is also 5 volts

   Yeah Duff, you really have nothign to worry about. I do own a Nes, I'm just making a front panel for my computer that will have the NES ports on it. I'll pm you.

   Well right now i now have all the controller ports i could ever want. Just landed a lot of 5 Nintendo systems on Ebay. Only 36 bucks with shipping.. so nice.

          Well you could make your own front panel NES adapter.
