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!

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?
