HoneyBee converters are considered to the best
quality of all the converters available. That's not
always true. It depends on how much the HoneyBee --
or any converter, for that matter -- has been used.
The more use a converter
goes through, the more "gapped," if you will, the
cartridge pin connectors will become -- much like
the receiving pins in the Famicom itself. So, the
newer the converter, the better it likely is. Though
some generic brand converters are nothing but junk.
Much fatter than the 72-to-60 pin HoneyBee.
This HoneyBee is 72
to 60 pins, meaning you can play your Famicom games
on your NES. For someone unsure of whether or not
they want to begin collecting Famicom games, a
converter like this for your NES is a great place to
start. With a 72-to-60 pin converter, you can test
the water without diving in.
A gold HoneyBee
recently sold on eBay for over $50. Though the
HoneyBees can fluctuate in sale price, $50 for a
converter is an outrageous price to pay. If you're
patient, you can get one for less than $20. But the
HoneyBees are highly sought after, so a lot of
patience is required.
