Title: Wanted: broken SNES (1 or 2), need just the AV out connector
Post by: jasonbar on March 14, 2013, 09:47:22 AM: I'm looking into getting an RGB mod on my Top-Loader NES & need a donor SNES multi-out audio/video connector, preferably from a broken SNES. I don't want to cannibalize a working console.

Anybody have a broken SNES?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Post by: SignOfZeta on March 14, 2013, 09:46:02 PM: I've never seen a SNES stop working...or an N64...I once had a GC where the SD video was blown out from a power surge (but even then D Video still worked).

Maybe you can use a PS2 AV port? Those things are laying dead all over the place. :)

I haven't picked up SNES systems for like a decade now, but I've probably encounter 20 - 30 that did not work one way or another. Usually they just dont work at all. I've been trying to get rid of excess games and systems the past year or so and sold off a SNES or two and kept the nicest looking one for myself... Only to find that one of the controller ports is bad. So for now, my main SNES unit is terribly yellowed/browned and has large cracks across the top.

So how many hundreds of SNES systems have you seen? Even if %10 of all SNES systems were broken (which I highly doubt) that means you've "encountered" 200-300 SNESs in your life. That's an assload of SNES. Did you used to own a SNES store or something?
