I found a NES console for sale this weekend. It's pretty beat up & is missing the cartridge door. When I tested it out of course it had the issue where the light keeps blinking. So I took it apart (very carefully), removed the 72-pin cartridge connector (cleaned the cartridge connector) & positioned the pins to their original location and re-assembled the unit. Everything is working AOK now. When I insert a game, it comes up 1st try. So if you're looking for a NES unit to play some games on that won't cost & arm & a leg. Please make me a reasonable offer. It comes with 2 controllers, a zapper, power supply, and a/v hookup (I haven't tested the controllers or zapper). Please include shipping in your offer
I would think a loftier purpose for an NES with a wrecked case would be... oh, minor re-engineering into some sort of hand-held device? Or perhaps insertion into some multi-system home-arcade unit, hyphen hyphen.
This is the internet. It means nothing. Don't believe otherwise.
