Anyone have one of these in non-yellowed condition? Thanks.
Ugh, I have a CIB TOTALLY yellowed one...Bugs me. Hell, my Famicom is yellowed too. :P
It's hard to find one that isn't yellowed, if you do, be sure to keep it sealed up, and get another one to use for gaming. That's what I did. It doesn't take long for them to yellow. I have one that looks close to mint sealed in it's box, and another that looks like it was pulled out of an opium den to play.
There's plenty that aren't yellowed, I just haven't found one for a respectable price from a US seller. I'll probably end up getting one off YHJ in a nice lot with some controllers. I found one on another message board, but the guy wanted $50 shipping in the US, which is ridiculous.
Yeah, I didn't think about YHJ. You should be able to find unyellowed SFC's on there pretty easily.
I'm on the look out for a mint un-yellowed SNES. I have four SNES's and every one of them has yellowed. I barely dropped one from about 2 feet high onto a carpeted floor the other day, and it ended up cracking it all the way across the back, and half way up the side. It sucked floppy donkey penis. I'd say un-yellowed Nintendo consoles are going to be a real rarity on down the road.
I have an un-yellowed SNES and its the "first edition" model with the sticker near the power switch. Sweet!

me too but I want unyellowed super famicom blah I don't even have a super famicom. PLease tax refund come soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
My SNES isn't yellowed either, when I first got it it spent most of its life hidden in an entertainment center, safe from the evils of the sun. But yea, it's definitely getting harder and harder to find nice looking systems.

I saw those yellowed ones, but I see others in pretty good condition, luck I guess.

The Super Famicom carts are compatible with the American SNES ?

There's a certain way to do it, but it's possibly. Involves removing certain screws in the carts.
It doesn't have anything to do with removing screws from the carts, unless you are talking about completely taking the pcb out of the cart case. Push the cartridge door open on your SNES, see the little plastic notches on either end? Cut them out. Then you can play SFC games on it. You can also buy a Game Genie and use that.

That's what I meant...I thought the screws were there...hmm, weird.
My SFC Super Mario World cartridge is like that...it makes it the notches look...melted, almost.
I'm not sure if there are screws to remove on the SFC cart that'd make it fit in there. I have one SFC cart buried somewhere, but I just remember the notches on the SNES being the way to circumvent the physical lockout.
