Shipping including tracking, insurance, and express delivery for a console bundle in Canada: US$9.50 in the US: US$15.50
The RF jack has been completely removed and a new 3.5mm AV connector is put in place, along with my mod board. Here's how it looks in the back:

Here's my video quality for AV modded Famicoms. I have done all I can to reduce the jailbars (lift pin 21 of PPU, cap between pins 20 & 22) and I think the quality looks quite nice on a 30" flatscreen TV. Jailbars are only noticeable when you put your face to the screen, but not noticeable when actually playing.

How much is the basic? And does it come with that game that you can use to desing games?
The BASIC set is $115 USD. Yes, it is the cartridge that allows you to program games. The instruction manual has been translated in english and can be found here on FamicomWorld. Included is V1.0. I have V3 sold separately if you're interested.
Updated May 14 2015, added Sega game lot, BASIC V3 set, N64 consoles, and AV modified Famicom consoles.
How much are the n64 lots?
Prices now reduced for the N64's at US$60 each. Famicoms have been dropped to about US$90 each.
Prices down to $70 for the remaining Famicoms.
New products added today. Will be adding a few more AV moded Famicoms, N64 bundles, and a few more goodies in a few days. Stay tuned!
Added 2 Famicom bundles, 5 N64 bundles, and a Hudson SANSUI controller.
Prices also reduced. BASIC reduced from 150 to 120. All consoles reduced by $10

Added a working Famicom Disk System. Come and get it! ;D
just wondering do the av modded famicoms come boxed and if so could you get one with no yellowing?
Al.
I usually don't get boxed ones. I also try and get ones in the best condition possible. Unfortunately I can only sell to Canada and US. :(
Added 8 AV modified Famicom bundles, a square button Famicom complete, and a 'FF' Famicom complete. Will be adding 12 N64 bundles in a few days including some gold and clear blue consoles, as well as a FDS system. Stay tuned! Check out my ebay page for more random stuff like Amiibo and some of my personal collections I had to sell recently.
Added 12 N64 bundles. Each system has had its plastic tabs taken out and plays US and Japanese games. Everything has been cleaned by hand and smells pretty good. Control sticks have been opened, cleaned, and lubricated. All sticks are tight. Also check my eBay if you want Super Mario Bros, Fire Emblem, or Fire Emblem Gaiden on Famicom. Also got some N64 controller memory paks.
Will be adding an FDS and a Gameboy Advance in a day or so. I also got a Densha De GO 64 controller that I might keep for myself, unless someone wants it. Make an offer if you do.
Prices reduced and GBA and FDS added.
Added some new stuff like another FDS bundle with 6 games, some good and rare FDS games, and some other stuff from my own personal collection. I'm selling some of my own stuff because I need money and I don't really plan on playing with these for a while. :)
FDS stuff on for clearance pricing. Come buy it now!!!! :pow:
Added 5 AV modified Famicoms. Will be adding 2 FDS systems later on.

Added 2 Famicom Disk System systems. :diskkun:
Added Family BASIC V3 and V2.1A bundles, 2 FDS consoles, and some N64 stuff on my ebay page. Will be adding 2 AV modded Famicom bundles and 2 AV modded Famicom with FDS bundles later.

Added a AV modded Famicom with Disk System bundle. This is the last one I will have before I come back from vacation, which is the 27th. I will have 3 more Famicoms ready for after the holidays. I also have 2 more Disk Systems for sale, 1 one of them is ready to buy and the other still needs work.
Added 8 Famicoms and 2 Disk Systems.
Good job on the jailbars. The ones you see are identical to what you get from stock NES and AV modded top loader. LED flat panels are really able to make that power rail noise pop. On a CRT, those bars are not visible.
Only way to get clean LED video is NESRGB or NES HDMI.
Thank you, I'm actually pretty proud of my work this time. This is my best batch of Famicoms, ever. The condition of the controllers and the whiteness of the plastic is also better than usual.
The jailbars pretty much look just like the NES. Even with the pictures I provided, you still have to put your face to your computer screen to see them.
QuoteI have done all I can to reduce the jailbars (lift pin 21 of PPU, cap between pins 20 & 22) and I think the quality looks quite nice on a 30" flatscreen TV. Jailbars are only noticeable when you put your face to the screen, but not noticeable when actually playing.
sorry as this is not related to sales actually, but still:
have you considered wrapping PPU with some piece of foil to shield the noise? have you ever tried that? it should help to completely wipe out these tiny jailbars.
actually, this was suggested in http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=8080.0 , but it could be done without PPU desoldering.

That's ok, any comment about my mod is welcome.
I am aware of the shielding of the PPU with copper tape, but I personally don't do it. I feel as if it isn't the most direct way to address the noise in the video line.
I just av modded a HVC-CPU-07 and didn't shied the ppu,all I did was add caps to the power rails on the ppu and cpu and that pretty much took care of the jail bars.

Bingo! The jailbars are caused by noisy power rails. The composite video is generated inside the PPU. Any dips in Vcc will show up as noise which is what we see. This is identical to the recent jailbar fix that Tim Worthington (inventor of NESRGB) created for the PC Engine / TG16. The caps used by NEC on that console are not sufficient for Vcc dips on the rails. Bumping the cap sizes and using CERAMIC capacitors (which react much quicker than your standard electrolytic caps) eliminated all jailbars from NEC consoles!
Foil on the PPU assumes the noise is generated by RF interference outside the PPU -- this is not the case.
Nick, there's no need for the cap between pin 20 (GND) and 22 (/RST). /RST is only triggered by CIC chip in NES when RESET button is pressed. Otherwise it's just held high (Vcc) at all times. In fact, in top loader, pin 22 is permanently held to Vcc. That's why when you reset a top loader you get picture corruption and then system reset (rather than clean black reset like on NES) --> PPU is not told to reset its video registers!
Free bump for you!
Clearance pricing. Come get what's left!

Not true, connecting a capacitor (any value,I tried caps from 560pf to 100uf) between pin 22 and GND will reduce jailbars. The same is true for pin 40 of the PPU, which is the +5V for the PPU chip.
Will be adding one more FDS console with VS Excitebike and Green Beret later.

I can't explain why you notice this. Very strange. If you lift pin 22 and tie it to Vcc / pin 40 you'll see that the system will still function perfectly fine.
The only reason you'll need a cap between pin 40 and GND is if the trace to pin 40 is tiny and can't provide enough current at times.
Added the Disk System and N64 console.
Added 7 AV modded Famicoms.
What price have you on either of the two boxed av famicom?
Do either have much discolouration/yellowing?
Very interested in picking one up.
Al.
Sorry, I'm sold out now. I will have more in about 2 weeks though! I will have some boxed ones that are in a little better shape than these. I will have Famicoms that are pure white, to slightly yellowed. Games and AC adapter are optional too ;)
I just noticed you're in Ireland. Just a warning, shipping outside of North America is very expensive. I can still sell you one if you're willing to pay it though! :)
I'd be very interested in a boxed white one with everything.
Give me a shout when you get new stock.
Al
Any way to request special additional mods once you get stock?
Added 9 AV modded Famicoms, a Super Famicom, and BASIC sets. Will have 2 more AV modded Famicoms in a few days, and maybe some more if I'm successful with repairs.
Added another console and dropped the price of the remaining ones. Come and get them before they're gone! :redcart:
have you any boxed av famicoms for sale?
I only had one and it sold a while ago. I had like 4 other Famicom boxes, but they were really beat up so I threw them in the garbage. :(
