Title: NES Top Loader console + 1 dogbone controller
Post by: SuperGrafx on December 31, 2014, 12:03:36 PM: Hi all

I have a US NES top loader console with 1 dogbone controller.
Includes OEM RF adapter and AC adapter.

System works great. Not yellowed or damaged in any way.

$100 shipped in the US (or best offer)

I'd really like to keep this off eBay if possible.
Thanks!

Benefits? No lockout chip, No ZIF cartridge slot. So it's a little more reliable with game loading than a front loader. Yeah it only outputs RF but is easily modded for Composite. I still prefer the frontloader personally. $90 shipped for a toploader with a dogbone is a very fair price though.

These seem to be going for a bit more than they used to. With that said, a system, dogbone, AC adapter and RF switch (assuming all of these things are included) is well worth the money.

But yeah, even with a fully repaired or replaced 72-pin connector the reliability of these units at playing cartridges is light years ahead of the toaster model.

One other note, there DOES exist versions of the top loader that use the multi-out found on SNES,N64 and GC but they're extremely uncommon.

Ps, anyone know where I could send mine to mod?

If the current buyer falls through, I'll update the thread.
