Hi all, newb here,
I have found my NTSC Famicom and disk system, with a collection of games, I am wanting to sell the set but want to know if its working fine obviously.
So i had a quick read here and used the VCR method, the Famicom is working, sound, colour etc, however the quality is quite poor, its not the jailbars I heard of.

Is this the limitations of the RF connection?
can it be improved with something else? ie NES RF adapter, or using a Coax method?
As I am only wanting to test the system and all the games to sell, I am hoping to keep the famicom as original as possible, so not too keen on modding as well as not comfortable in doing so. I also heard it does not change the compatibility of it being NTSC.
What is the best method of valuing what I have?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
why not connect direct to TV ? :question:
your TV should support all standards :)
I am using coaxial shielded RF cable and quality is very good 8)
I tried that already, and the TV does not work with the famicom that way.
very strange this is a modern TV i should support NTSC PAL and SECAM - everything
It's very uncommon for PAL TVs to support NTSC via the RF-port. Usually it's only via the AV-ports.

hmm very strange , funny thing is that my TV is from 1994 14" Philips (only with RF and AV no SCART) and it supports PAL and NTSC from both
