September 2013 pickups - Yours truly TTT
SnesGuy:
Don't know if any others do, but my radio shack is having a clearance sale, they have soldering kits (like DIY programmer, DIY USB experiment interface board, DIY FM radio, etc) way cheap. Might be worth checking.
I got all of the different kits. Programmer kit for $9.99 instead of $59.99, FM radio kit - $4.95 instead of 29.99, etc
Finished the radio and programmer. Can't use the programmer since I don't have a serial port, but all the lights come on and appears to function, and I'm listening to the radio now, lol. Since they were so cheap thought Id practice my soldering and try out my new SMD Rework Station
Superchop:
EGG Elemental Gimmick Gear
($25 from Amazon)
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Mario Strikers
Space Channel 5 (w/ holographic cover)
Bust a Move 4
($23 from a stubborn vendor at the flea market)
Xbox HD DVD drive
($5...originally wanted $15 but as I was walking away he asked for my offer...I lowballed $5 since there was no plug and hd dvd is a dead media and he accepted. He just didn't want to pack it back up and take it home lol) Now the power plug will cost more then the drive itself :\
Not pictured but also snagged an Xbox High Definition AV Pack for the original Xbox. Found it in a bin of a mess of cables and wires for $5. Now I can play my original xbox games in HD lol

That is a excellent condition on that box, hopefully it gets sent in a box. I've had too many CIB games sent by ebay sellers that were crushed in bubble mailers. Seems like a pretty cool guy too since most sellers flip out if you don't leave positive feedback.
