WTB: NES
« on: November 27, 2005, 12:03:19 pm »
I was looking for a NES, preferably NON-Working and in good condition as I am moving onto my next project; an NES PC. I just finished my cab a few months ago and now I need something new to work on. I plan on having NES parties with friends to relive the old days of sitting and playing NES for days! Anyone with one that is willing to sell, let me know! Once again all I need is really a good condition case; doesnt matter if its working or not. I would go the eBay route; but I like to stay away from that place as much as possible. Thanks!!!

I've got this old one hanging around.  There is no physical damage to it, but has yellowed with age.  Working?  Well sort of.  It always turns on, but sometimes it's difficult to get cartridges working. (Jam a piece of paper in the sucker, and you may get lucky) Not really sure what's its worth.  You should at least have pay for shipping from Canada.  I also have a few games, and extras for it.  If interested in them, let me know, and I will make a list.

Best regards

I am definatly willing to pay for one plus the shipping of course. Im trying to find that that isnt yellowed though ;) as it will also be displayed in my home theater.

Yeah... mine is yellowed like that and it looks pretty crappy. Anyone know how to un-yellow it?

Try scrubbing it with some Comet Cleaner with Bleach.  If that doesn't work then you can always paint it.
