September 2012 pickups

[wiggy]

I got pretty decent prices on the European and Australian colors. They aren't available here at all, so took a bit more work than usual to get em. I think it came to about 175 for all 4.

The silver, black, and black (which became the orange one) cost nearly nothing. Got the 1st black CIB "broken" for 20 bucks (needed battery), and the other 2 loose for 30 which were also listed as "broken". Both of them worked just fine. I think the guy just didn't have a charger to test them with.


The anniversary model I paid pretty close to current market value. No gfreat deal there.

Now I'm on to the rarer models. Dunno if I'm gonna try and get them all or not.

How good do those converters work? I've been looking at getting one similar to that. Anything I should know as far as conversion quality goes?

Got mind from the same seller, works perfectly. Couldn't be easier to use.

Listed it as very good but didn't give description, however amazon's very good policy states it must come complete but understandably used condition. Figured even if it ended up disc only was pretty good score, opened it today and did a happy dance.

I finally found some N64 games at a thrift store! They were only $2 each so I bought them all, even the ones I already have.

Nice! Those are some great titles for $2 each! You'll probably make your money back just selling the ones you already own. And on that note, PM sent...

Wow!  Zelda and Zelda alone make that WAY more than worthwhile.


So, that TV that I got weighs about a million pounds.  Took literally 3 of us to lift onto a sheet of cardboard and slide it down into my basement.  It's not ever leaving that room, period. 

I'll post pics in a bit.  Biggest damned tube I've ever seen, that's for sure.  Gonna go play with the Super Scope.  It's been like 5 years since I've touched it and I can't wait to look like a big big dork with a purple plastic canon on my shoulder going "pew pew pew!"

[wiggy]

Here it is.





It's not perfect unfortunately. I wish I could have done more thorough testing when I went to get it, but the guy didn't have anything to hook up to it. As you may be able to see there's some distortion. Look at the far left side and you'll see than the tiles run down slightly diagonally

Oh well. It's still pretty nice for 40 bucks. The one I got yesterday works beautifully. Wish it was the other way around.

Pretty sure you can fix that by adjusting the yoke, but messing with CRTs is a whole different world haha. They can hold enough charge to kill a person.

Agreed! I already own both of them but paid way more than $2 for them so they are definitely going to be sold or traded to help buy some of the more expensive games I want that I didn't really want to pay a lot for.

You're speaking geek to me LOL!

It has a "tilt" adjustment, which I already tweaked, but didn't completely fix the problem.  What's this technique you speak of?
