Is this a genuine famicom or a Clone?

[P]

I may be wrong, but as far as I can tell it looks exactly like my original Japanese Famicom on the outside. Controllers, stickers and everything.

Sadly my Famicom with the Makko RF board didn't work very well on my PAL TV via RF. You could still AV mod it though.

It's a very nice clone. Only the issue you might have is about sound - there is a thread somewhere on nesdev about sound on some clones...

Hi guys,

My cartridge showed up today so i was able to test it. At first i was having no luck tuning the damn thing into the TV. I could tell the unit was working as i could see movement from the game but it would not tune in. CH35 was where i needed to tune it in initially but i couldn't fine tune it.

Looking back at the pics i took i could see what look like some sort of adjustment pot. I took the board out and put a cart in and tweaked the pot and that actually fine tuned it into my TV with sound which actually sounds really clear. Real heavy jailbars in the picture though. Also the 50/60hz switch works. you can tell by the slowed down sound its running slower in 50hz.

Not sure what to do now. Perform an AV mod or leave it as it is.

If it works fine as is, then I would leave it alone. But it's your choice, just know that if you wire it wrong you could blow the PPU.
