Top Loader Score!

So, I've always wanted one and finally scored a good deal on a NES top loader.  I saw a BIN on eBay for $30 because it supposedly didn't work and decided to go for it.  I thought it'd probably be an easy fix, but I got it today and it fired right up.  I did some cleaning and will be doing the AV mod soon.  Pretty stoked!



Here it is:







And, here is it working before I even cleaned it:

    Awesome!  It's always great when that happens.


  • dang, that's in nice shape. congrats. that would've sucked if it didn't work though...
  • if you're going to continue using it on a flat screen, definitely get the AV mod. I also sprung for a power light mod, but then again I'm that guy that leaves his consoles on by accident without one :-)

    Yeah, but it probably would've been a simple fix.  At least that's what I was hoping.  I was surprised it worked.

    Definitely doing the AV mod, and will probably do the LED mod too.  I mean, why not?
