--- Quote from: glazball on June 21, 2017, 03:15:15 pm ---I totally appreciate the nostalgia of playing your old console, but I would suggest simply buying an original NES console. However, I'm not sure if they use the same power supply so I would hate to steer you the wrong way (if the console you were to buy doesn't come with one). But that way you could have your composite out and save the wear and tear on your top loader. Generally speaking - RF was great when we were kids (we didn't know any better!), but the signal is so terribly piss-poor that you'll soon begin to hate it. I highly, highly recommend doing just about anything to avoid using RF at all in your setup. If you really want the best there is, get a modder to mod your NES with a NESRGB board -> Framemeister upscaler -> HDMI -> HDTV. Warning: you will need new pants after you see how beautiful it is. --- End quote --- A new pair of pants and about a grand to purchase all of that |

I do have an original NES, but it is giving me the red blinking light error. Think the 72 pin needs to be replaced, but the Top loader is working fine. Sad as the system did work when i found it. (It was in a thrift shop, in the box, contains EVERYTHING include the dust cover, and i got it for 7 bucks as they had it tagged for half off that day!). |

With a philips screwdriver and a small screwdriver or a sewing needle (I've used both), you can get that thing working again. Go to YouTube and search NES rehab. Please don't buy one of those replacement 72pin connectors |

The cheap, Chinese-made ones on you can buy suck. They are too tight and ridged. They can even damage games. With just a little work (15 min or so) you can pull out your original, Nintendo-made 72 pin connector and bring it back to life. Check this video out. It's very dry, but it's good information. https://youtu.be/FLxPmVgy4mI |
