Title: Famicom Modders in Houston
Post by: Mr Game and Watch on June 13, 2015, 01:28:10 pm
I have been given a suggestion by a friend on Facebook to have my Famicom modded for better viewing. But, I can't really afford to ship it out of town for the job. So, can anyone point me to some reliable custom modders in the Houston, Texas area? Much appreciated!

This better be high quality for that price. My mod isn't the most perfect, but for $30 extra from me you get a console plus 10 games.

Doesn't seem like it,looks like a standard av mod using a trrs jack.

If you add around 25 to his price you could buy a av famicom.

Yeah, that does seem a bit much. Does anyone know of any cheaper services? Or local ones?

Actually now you think about it does seem a bit too much for a AV mod. I would just buy a AV fami and be done with it

True that. I think that most people prefer the look of the red/white Famicom though. The AV Famicom is very handy with its controller ports however.

I was hoping to not spend more than $50-$60, really.

Looks like you can get the repair direct from their website for cheaper.
