Hello. I wanted to know where the 72 pin card edge connector came from on Ben's n.o.a.c portable. Thanks for the help in advance.

ben clearly states

Smashed-open Gyromite cartridges! Yes, it's true. Inside some of the VERY oldest NES cartridges is the Famicom ROM PCB of the game, which goes into a Famicom-to-NES converter, and then the standard NES connector. I don't know if Nintendo was trying to use excess Famicom inventory when they made their jump to the States, but it's a great way to find adapters now!

(Look for specially UN-marked cartridges of old games like Gyromite, Stack-Um, Hogan's Alley or Excitebike. Compare the weight of the cart with another NES cart laying on the shelf, say, Deadly Towers. If the old NES cart feels heavier / off-balance, there's a good chance it contains an adapter! Smash it open and enjoy!)

I think he's talking about the 72 pin connector itself, and not the 60-72 pin converter.

You can buy them here for $2.50 a peice. Gannon you should carry these in your store. I think it would be good for ppl that want to make a nes portable with an original nes.

Actually, I sell the 72-60 pin converter which has a pretty nice 72 pin connector on it. It's actually cheaper to get them from my supplier than the 72 pin connectors themselves.

Yeah, you could just desolder the connector off one of the 72-60 pin converters you sell. You could get them for 1 dollar if you bought 50 from the place you get them.
