        No hurry here.
        I will assemble it and take some pics and prep the package to get the total weight for shipping calculation.
        Do you want the Famicom internals? Or just the outer case?

            So here the before/after pic.

            alt text

            It is not perfectly white, still a tiny bit cream white, but man it looks great if you see how it looked before.
            I will let it dry off for another 1-2 days and then assemble it and put back the labels.

            @edmaul69

            Is that Famicom white enough for you?

              @FlyingTomahawk that famicom looks perfect to me. No complaints here.

                How did the labels turn out?

                Sorry for the delay, been bit busy with gigs and investigating a 1950s record player uprgrade project...

                Stickers look amazing Flying, I will get round to finishing this project at some point, just not had the time to sort the switch out.

                  Hey! Looking great!
                  Glad they arrived in good condition.
                  Anything else is, let me know.

                    @FlyingTomahawk any excursions to Hard Off recently? With the warm weather I'm starting to see more yard sales popping up, but sadly, no retro game finds just yet.

                      HOLY MAJIKARP.
                      You won't believe what came in the mail today.
                      I recently purchased an SNES that was broken so that I could put my Pi in it. But now I really want to play on it.

                        @itsnitro What's on the sticker? My SNES is "pub yellow" but didn't have a sticker by the power switch.

                          The sticker was just telling to turn off the SNES before removing or putting in a cartridge.

                            Nah, unfortunately no new hard-off visits recently.
                            I was too busy by being sick and with my other hobby. But I should go out there again and see what's around.

                            Oh and btw. still no Mausberry here. In one week its gonna be 2 months. lol
                            First they forget to ship it out for a month and then they ship it out with the slowest shipping method?
                            At least they could send it via Airmail and not super slow banana boat shipping.

                              That really sucks about the Mausberry. Hopefully it shows up soon.

                                While poking around eBay tonight I found that someone is reproducing the light gray MGB screen protectors. Still no sign of repro cases though.

                                I have a bid on a non-functioning gray MGB for dirt cheap. It's fairly beat up, but for $5 and having some scratches, I'd be ok with potentially modding it. I'm still on the lookout for one that's mint, but I have a feeling I won't find one for any reasonable amount on eBay. Even colors that aren't Japan-specific are going for quite a bit.

                                Now that I know I can get a repro white AGB case I've been on the lookout for a super cheap functioning AGB to to an AGB-101 mod. I don't know if it's me, but prices seem to be increasing lately, though I did find one going for cheap right now.

                                  Branching out to try to find more cool retro game stuff online, I checked out Facebook, and there's a local guy selling a NES Classic if anyone is interested.

                                      @obsidianspider Did you ever think of doing a GBA SP instead of a GBA?

                                        @lilbud Not really. I own a AGS-001 from when they were new and I was never a huge fan of the form factor. (Yes, I realize I'm looking at making something from an Altoids tin, which is essentially the same kind of thing). My hands would tend to cramp up after a while when playing. I dunno, it's just not my favorite.

                                        In setting a Zero on my SP it looks like it might fit, but from what I've seen done in the past by people attempting a Pi in a SP, the screen is the big challenge, along with the ribbon cable.

                                            @lilbud i prefer the original gba. They actually make a cable to be able to use a gba sp backlit screen inside an original gba. My buddy did one with the newer nicer gba sp backlit screens.
