FS: Nice Square button Famicom

[Bibin]

I have a square button Famicom.

THE SKINNY:

Controllers / Buttons are great
AV Mod looks good
AV Mod is totally reversable
System runs great
No microphone hum

THE DEETS:

I bought it because its RF out jack was broken off. This means that since it had no video output, it saw relatively little playtime throughout its life. As a result, the D-pads are still good on it, and the A/B buttons feel great! It is rare to find a square button famicom, but even more so to find one that still has good controllers! There is absolutely no nasty microphone buzz/hum as one can often expect from old systems that need cleaning.

As the RF port was broken, I have performed an AV mod; it is based on the common one you can find on these forums. The image is stable and clear as seen in pictures below. The case has not been cut at all so if you wish to reverse the mod it will not be difficult. I have piped mono to both left and right channels so it is easier to set up on a modern stereo system. The cord is a long 6 ft. one.

This is also the latest revision I have ever seen of a square button Famicom - it is an HVC-CPU-06 motherboard, with the original 2A03 CPU (with the sound differences) but it also has SMD S-RAM! What an odd combination. It is definitely the real deal though. This is also one of the later boards that does not have the freezing issues some earlier ones were known to have.

Here are pictures of the system:







I am not sure how to price it, so I am starting at $180 shipped in the US. I am totally open to negotiations, though, as well as trades of interesting things.

I have a similar one too, pm me if interested.

I would love one of these, but I'm a little strapped so I definitely won't be buying a second console at this time. Somebody should snap these up and cure me of my temptation.

You and me both.  I'm in the same boat.  Those square buttons are singing to me.  A total piece of history right there.

If either of you have cool stuff I'm interested in trades / partial trades! I am looking for a Famicom Disk System, non-working is okay... I would knock a bit off the price for something like that!

If you guys don't want a square button Famicom I have no idea who would ¬_¬

You have to be a bit patient.
Sooner or later you'll find a buyer.
Most regulars already have Famicoms and square button consoles are mostly interesting for collectors.
