I have no idea if any of you on this board will be able to help a bro out with this, but I'm looking for a Famicom. It needs to be an original Famicom, not an AV Famicom, not a Famiclone, and it needs to be unmodded. Cosmetic condition does not matter much to me as long as there is not permanent marker or paint on the unit. I can deal with dirt, stickers, yellowing, scratches, etc. It needs to be fully functional, though I will permit dodgy control pads. I do not need a power supply or RF connector box. Lastly, it needs to be cheap. Like, around $30 shipped.

I'm looking for one mainly because I have had some people ask me if I'd be willing to make Famicom EPROM carts, or a Famicom version of the upcoming Mucnhausen cart. And, let's be honest here, I'd like to own a Famicom as much as the next guy. smile

I can offer trades or Paypal monies. I'd be willing to part with one or more of the following in exchange:

A custom NES cart (name your game/ROM)
Various un-modded NES games
Gameboy Color, unmodded, in either yellow or purple
And maybe, just maybe, I'd be willing to part with my blue backlit Gameboy Pocket, which has a *handmade* quad LED backlight derived from a GBA SP AGS-101 and has new, less green-looking polarizing film.

Maybe one of you folks going to Blip Tokyo would be willing to hook me up?

Thanks!

If this is easy to get MAYBE I can work as a mule, maybe not. I dunno about Japan, really, seems like all this sort of stuff is not to be found a-plenty on streets, only through Yahoo Auctions, so I recommend you to use a proxyy bidding service to get it from Yahoo japan

Thanks for the offer Low-Gain! I just might have to take you up on it, though of course I really do want my own. smile
No Carrier thinks he might be able to hook me up with something, but feel free to offer anyway.

Akira- thanks for the link. I'll have a look.

Are you officially coming as well?

I still need to find a venue for this show. >_<
The city put the buzz kill on my normal venue..
