[linkzpikachu]

does anyone have a disk system with the ram pack and power supply (working) or a working twin famicom for cheap (doesnt matter which model)

[b1aCkDeA7h]

Uhh, define cheap.

[linkzpikachu]

preferably under $150.00

[b1aCkDeA7h]

The Twin Famicom, yeah, that makes sense but how about the disk system?

[linkzpikachu]

yeah bellow 150.00 i dont want to spend too much money

A loose disk system definitely isn't worth over $100 just for the heads up.

[linkzpikachu]

how much then

[nintendodork]

According to the stickied price guide in this board:

LOOSE DISK SYSTEM (working): $40.00

does anybody have a lose disk system with the ram pak and wall plug (if u dont have the wall plug thats fine)

[b1aCkDeA7h]

I have a loose disk system but no extra RAM adapter. The belt was replaced but I haven't had time to tweak it into working shape.

[linkzpikachu]

by "tweak" what do you mean?

[nintendodork]

Whenever you replace a belt (and maybe a few other times), you need to adjust the belt with something like a small screwdriver to get it to spin at the right speed.  Otherwise, even with a new belt, it still won't read disks correctly.  I've never had to replace mine yet, as it came with a new one installed already, but when I do, I have full confidence in myself because the process is, from what I've seen, pretty easy.

[linkzpikachu]

so you have tweaked it or not and how easy is it

[nintendodork]

I've never had to replace mine yet,

It's not hard to tweak, but it takes patience. I used Copymaster to tune the drive speed after multiple failed attempts at getting it just right by trial and error. Now instead of loading 75% of games, it loads 100%. But, you have to have a Game Doctor & a standalone drive to use the program. It's doable without it, too, but you have to use trial and error with multiple disks. It's also a good idea to check the felt pad that rides along the top of the disk--when it's thin or hard, it can scratch your disks or give error 27 messages. You can replace it with a donor from a standard cassette player.
