October 2017 Pickups

[Tech13]

not sure this counts but I got a 1 ft S-video cable to go between my pro selector and pro selector 2 from www.cableup.com  It is a really rare thing to find s-video under 3 ft.
I also got a NES advantage that was in really bad shape. I had to clean the contact pads, clean the soda that was spilled on the case and got on the board. Resolder the up wire. and finally I took an extra step and used white lithium grease on the ball and socket joint for the stick. Thing is very nice and smooth now.




I got another free Wega Trinatron off of CL. Free is always good.





Got a set of DK Bongos (my original set was "borrowed")


Got a 1 to 4 S-Video distribution unit


And a 1 to 4 Component Distribution unit

Is it bad that I am More jealous of what I can see of your workshop?

I have a confession to make Wiggy. I used a hobby saw on my PSP stand from you to make it where it could sit in the stand and charge at the same time.

And a 1 to 4 Component Distribution unit 

I'm using a very similar, if not the same distribution amp in my setup as well.

[TDIRunner]

Very cool.  I've been thinking about trying to get those as well.

I am still not ready to do a full game room setup, but I have used the unit and really like the results. It has not failed on any of the televisions and it has not failed on the upscaler I use either. I have not checked with my capture card yet.

LOL!  Well I’m flattered.

Orly?  What color is it?

Very cool.  I've been thinking about trying to get those as well. 

I’m pretty excited to have the whole family of Classics . Well, save for the PAL units, which I may eventually get (the SNES anyway. The NES is entirely identical, save for the box).

It was a black stand, I took my time and it looks great. Super happy that it can charge and display at the same time.

I got all of this at Retro World Expo

[marioxb]

Got this from Nintendo's online store for on my $20. Not bad!


And this is something I've wanted for a while. I think this is the only way to get the longer German cut of the movie in English.

[Hesch]

You know, I don't know that I've ever seen that movie before. I've seen that dog everywhere, but never the movie

Really? It's a great family movie from the 80s. The sequels... Not so much.

A couple of the most notable pickups over the past week! Games I wish I had bought years ago when I had many chances to get them for much cheaper. Oh well, I have them now and this complete my Contra and Mega Man collections.



And everything else I picked up last week at our only local game expo in town "Northern Game Expo". Had my own table with a bunch of stuff for sale, and made a killing, so I spoiled myself a bit with pickups! Also picked up Mega Man X6 which completes my my Mega Man X collection too!

Some sad news in my pick ups and then some good news i guess?

Sad news first.
Just over a week ago the fiance and I had to put down our 12y/o Boxer.  Was old age and what not.  Was very hard on us both.  Here are some pics.  Poor girl I miss her a lot.  She was a well travled dog.  travled to about 14 states and seen more of the country than most people.







So out if this That day I got real drunk and smoked a lot of weed (relax it is legal here in Seattle) and ended up buying a lot of stuff on Ebay and Amazon.
