There was one for sale in a swedish internet auction site for about 25000 SEK (aprox 2500 Eur).
It was working but still... :OMG:

I've still got the front control panel (The whole of that metal piece shown in the 1st thread to replace.

That's going to bump the price up by a bit (not over £2k though :) )

I have a free bit of time this afternoon so decided to clean the outer casing (Check out the 1st post for how bad it was)

Image

I used WD40, Toilet paper and a slightly adhesive pad

I also ordered some nice looking replacement screws (to replace ALL external screws)

Ok, so now it's time to start work on the metal control panel

Image from Bylga on YouTube

The front control panel is connected to the main unit via 4 screws (2 either side).

I've been promised some detailed pictures of the front control panel so I can have it reproduced

I'm to drunk to answer that right now, maybe tomorrow :-)
I think it's just composite and dunno what PPU is right now :D (I think it has a PPU chip like the NES)

It's just on composite, I think the capacitors on here need replacing as the image isn't that great to be honest (The box they sit in don't look to hot either).

The PPU is the same as the one found in a PAL-A NES, the systems region locked :eh:

Thanks, she's getting prettier by the day :awe:

theoretically, you can replace the ppu and the crystal to get ntsc. i would do that just to get it it fullscreen and speedier... but aint no easy job i guess. :-/

It would be better to have full screen and full speed for sure but would hate to screw up the board :)

Making head way with the front control panel, I've received multiple pictures of it and receiving some more soon.

I wish I was an expert in auto cad, I'm guessing this is the best application to draw the control panel in so I can send to someone to reconstruct for me?

Also I've purchased some new rubber feet

I've also purchased a brand new rotary switch which I'm yet to install

Let me know if you want some help with the drawings. I'm no AutoCAD expert but I'm more than happy to draw something for you if I can. :)
