Wanted: broken SNES (1 or 2), need just the AV out connector

[jasonbar]

I'm looking into getting an RGB mod on my Top-Loader NES & need a donor SNES multi-out audio/video connector, preferably from a broken SNES. I don't want to cannibalize a working console.

Anybody have a broken SNES?

Thanks,

Cant the same jack from a Gamecube be used as well?

SNES, N64, Gamecube... they all use the same AV port.

The modder has used SNES with success, says that the N64's is too deep & interferes w/ top-loader NES guts, & he hasn't tried the GC's.

Thanks,
-Jason

sacrificing a working snes wouldn't be much  of a big loss

I've never seen a SNES stop working...or an N64...I once had a GC where the SD video was blown out from a power surge (but even then D Video still worked).

Maybe you can use a PS2 AV port? Those things are laying dead all over the place.

I haven't picked up SNES systems for like a decade now, but I've probably encounter 20 - 30 that did not work one way or another. Usually they just dont work at all. I've been trying to get rid of excess games and systems the past year or so and sold off a SNES or two and kept the nicest looking one for myself... Only to find that one of the controller ports is bad. So for now, my main SNES unit is terribly yellowed/browned and has large cracks across the top.

well then why not swap the cases to the working one then you have a nice working and pretty one

Got one. All set. You can all move along. Nothing to see here. :]

So how many hundreds of SNES systems have you seen? Even if %10 of all SNES systems were broken (which I highly doubt) that means you've "encountered" 200-300 SNESs in your life. That's an assload of SNES. Did you used to own a SNES store or something?
