My parents never gave me anything, and technically..they shouldn't have to give me something for not giving me anything on my birthday, I'm alright that they didn't. She insists though, so I'm not complaining.

Edit: $15.00 shipping

I guess I got a good deal for my NES when I got it.. I got LoZ, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros/DuckHunt, Link's Adventure, Ultima, Defenders of the Crown, Karnov, Jeopardy, two controllers, two light guns, and the console. I spent $20 Canadian for everything.

It also had that blinking problem.. but I fixed it. I think there's a tutorial over at classic gaming that has similar steps to what I did. Fix it like me; you'll never have to worry about it again.

The most recent NES I bought was the new style top loading one, but that was probably like 7 or 8 years ago. I think it was like $50 not sure...Great deal though, still works almost flawlessly more most games.

That reminds me, this is what the description was..

This is the Original Nintendo, everything is properly cleaned inside/out and tested. This console works like new, no problems with flashing screens or games not playing. Comes with instruction on how to clean your old NES games so you have no future problems. I have professionally restored the 72-pin connector to work like new, and tested with 8 different NES cartridges. This system is in excellent condition.

So I won't have to worry about any problems with it.

Even better! He did quite a few things there *hopefully

Remember, if you have problems, complain to him until he decides to repair it again for free

New connectors are less likely to work, actually.. the originals work best. I've talked to people about the problem at another forum who've tried replacing it and having it not work after bending them, but when they bent the originals, it worked perfectly.

I tried bending the pins in the NES I have (the same one I used as a wee child, never had the pin connector replaced) following that tutorial at classic gaming... First time I tried playing a game after doing it, it worked perfectly fine...

Took the game out, tried a different game, back to the blinking problem... Tried the game that worked perfectly before... Blink blink blink... kept trying, blink blink blink blink blink BLINK BLINK BLINK!!!!!.... So I gave up and tossed it on the floor...

Well, I got it all..except, the cords that plug into the tv don't work. The screw part doesn't screw into my tv. Luckly I have a SNES, but I should probably email the guy. I'm glad that I can play Duck Hunt again though.

Jonbo298 · 04-02-2004, 05:14 PM

Yeah, email him. I had an issue where he (diff. person) said Expansion Pak included but it wasnt. So he made it up to me by depositing $10 into my paypal acct.

Do they have pins in Europe?
