Retro game stuff talk

Yes, 780 for FDS Mario.
Yes I do know. I was wondering if you guys are real retro boys. :-))
Let's wait until @edmaul69 reads it maybe he knows the answer. If he doesn't I'll reveal it.
Wonder when he's gonna move to Japan...hehehe... -
@FlyingTomahawk I had to look again. It's 3 AM and my eyes are tired and there was glare in the photo. It's a square button Famicom!

BINGO!
Its a real first generation Famicom. The one that was released most beginning.
Those rubber buttons were replaced later with round hard plastic ones. -
@FlyingTomahawk so you bought it to cut up a controller and put a ZeroW inside? ;) (Please don't.)
-
@FlyingTomahawk how are the Famicom shells doing in their bleach baths? Any noticeable changes? I was always curious how effective that could be. I don't think of plastic as being that absorptive.
-
Its been 2.5 days since I put them in there.
My one looks better then before but then again it could be the water that makes it look better.
The first day it was nice and sunny and yesterday it was raining and cloudy so I kept the buckets under the roof. Today before I went to work I put them out again and weather looks great, sunny again.
According to the www. some guys start to see first changes after 5-6 days. Others have used UV lights aka. Black light to speed up the process. They say that UV rays are needed for the bleach to do its magic.
I intend to keep them in there for at least 1 week if not longer if necessary. I hope edmaul69 is patient.
I really hope to see some good results. It would be too bad if it was for nothing. -
Btw. It's lunch time again!
Guess were I'm heading,...hehehe.... -
@FlyingTomahawk I live vicariously through you sir. Please post photos.
-
@FlyingTomahawk that square button famicom is awesome. I am however, glad both sega and nintendo switched to plastic buttons.
Ido have a passport. Now i need to sell my life belongings to move. ;) japan is the only country that is on my bucket list. I hope to get there one day. And seeing all this beautiful game stuff i really want to go now.

It will be super fun to go around stores looking for retro stuff. -

After the photos we've been seeing, I wouldn't be surprised if he bumped into Shigeru Miyamoto during today's outing.
-
lol
He is in Kyoto. Not far...
I have passed by the Nintendo buildings a couple of times but never met any staff.
I just took pictures of something hilarious.
Something you don't see everyday, even here in Japan. -

Everything

@obsidianspider ok, now i have seen everything. :)

Just finished my run for today. Not so many good stuff this time.
@obsidianspider
Sorry, no Famicom today. There were 3 but way overpriced. Not tested 1790, 1980 and 2190Yen.
2 of them were actually very white-ish and one pub-yellow.Maybe next time I get lucky.
-
@FlyingTomahawk I love that "pub yellow" is the new name for those old discolored Famicoms.
Not that I'm in any kind of hurry, but did you end up going back to Hard Off to see if that Gameboy Pocket was still there?
