I've just ordered this Famicom/Famiclone and was wondering if someone could id it for me.
At first I thought it was original but then noticed it has turbo controllers, so I'm now thinking that the controllers are not the originals but the system itself is.
What do you guys/gals think?

Thanks.
I am afraid the pictures you posted are unreachable to me. Could you post them to another picture paste website, such as http://picpaste.com/ ?
OK..

Hmm it looks original to me, but I'm not an expert on Famiclones. The controllers are obviously not original like you said.
Looks like an original FC with third-party controllers installed. Would be easier to tell if it's a pirate if you post pictures of the insides.
I haven't actually received it yet. There the pictures from the seller. I'll crack it open when it comes. Thanks.
I think it is a famiclone. Look at the Nintendo font on the second picture. Something doesn't seem right about it.
You mean the text "Nintendo"? Yeah that bothered me too but I can't really tell for sure.
"Nintendo" seems like it should be a thicker font and more bold and the spacing from the word to the lines by it is off.
It's definitely a clone - Nintendo logo is written in type font and not the logo font. I compared both side by side foir a while and it's pretty clear. Build quality doesn't look up to par either, though that's harder to discern and prove.
Yes the logo is fake, but it sure is a nice clone :)
It probably will have composite output so you don't have to mod it.
Even if it has composite, the video quality will probably be bad (jailbars) so a mod might be required. It sure was needed for my famiclone, it really improved teh video quality on my famiclone.
Regards.
Should be here on Monday. I'll crack her open then and upload some pics.
Here she is cracked open ---

What dya think?
It is either an original famiclone or an 1:1 copy of the famicom (However, I am no famiclone expert :) ). Nice one!
PS: Here is how a famiclone looks from the inside: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=3938.0 .
It's definitely not original, whatever the internals.
Yours looks pretty similar to mine:

I've learnt recently that it maybe a Dendy junior
The OP's machine is definitely a famiclone, not original. Probably made in Taiwan in late 80's/early 90's. It seems to be a 1:1 copy of the original famicom, which is good because that makes it possible to mod it in an easy way. First mod, I would replace the CPU and PPU for original ones. Also if it has jailbars, an AV mod, reusing the same A/V outputs it already has.
