Modern power module to replace the old rusty one, cleaned edge connector, fixed cracks in the case, new coat of paint, and metallic stickers.
Looks brand new dude. What's the first game you fired up on it?
And now you'll be pulling it towards you several times by pulling the cord during intense action, and you'll need to blow the cartridge to make the game work.
Got fixes for both of those. 2.4ghz wireless controllers and properly cleaned games and connectors (pencil easer and ipa fixes 99% of issues with the games themselves, long term blowing is bad for the contacts).
long term blowing is bad for the contacts
Are we still doing phrasing?
Damn she's a beaut. And wireless controllers whuut?
Miss my old NES. My modded mini will have to do.
Thanks! 8Bitdo make some pretty decent controllers. Modded mini or even a pi4 are great ways to play NES games, then you find yourself falling down the MiSTer rabbit hole.
no before pic?
Whoa is that what they looked like originally? It's been so long since I saw a new one...
They were 2 shades of gray, not white.
Nope.
Do you do anything to improve the internal cartridge pin connectors? Or replace the part?
I think I took my apart many years ago and used a small screwdriver to bend the pins out a bit. Every game worked perfectly after that for a while, but it's getting very touchy again...
I cleaned the edge of the PCB with a pencil easer then ipa. After that I applied some dexoit for good measure. I also added some dexoit to the pins themselves.
Beautiful 🥲
Thanks!
Looks like it’s been bleached too much or the white balance of the photo is way off. That’s definitely the wrong shade of NES gray.
It's not grey. The paint is matte white and matte black, all with a clear coat. The intent wasn't a restoration since the case had cracks and nicks in it.
No sleeper PC?
Sleeper?
Edited, my bad.
