There's no need to replace it unless it starts giving you problems. However, if you see any around for puchase, it's not a bad idea to buy them while you can.

just to be safe  ???should i order a new drive belt before i get the disk drive because it dosn't state when it was last changed . or should i use it  until it  breaks then worrie about it?i think they are some what hard to come by

There's no need to replace it unless it starts giving you problems. However, if you see any around for puchase, it's not a bad idea to buy them while you can.

I have belts regularly in my store for $12 each.  I am out currently, but have 5 more coming in the next 7-10 days.

They are pretty easy to replace, but I'd agree with Trium, buy them when you can, but don't replace it if it is working.

Thanks!

Um, yeah, I'm new. Basically followed hades from risingstuff over here cuz I WANT SOME SWEET PIRATE CARTS!

Other than that... what else to say? I have an AV Fami & FDS set up, just got into imports fairly recently. (I also have a Saturn & PC Engine/CD & Hello Kitty Dreamcast for import systems).

Hey everyone. I am brand new to the site.
Just wanted to say hello, and briefly introduce myself, as I see that as the courteous thing to do when signing up on a new forum. IF there are any Atariage members on here, I post over there too, but with a different screen name, as my AA account is quite old.

Pretty big fan of the Famicom, naturally, or why else would I be here. Just starting to get into collecting for it though. At the moment I only have about 8 games, though looking to up that number in the very near future.

I own a small handful of clones, and a second gen (black with red highlights) Sharp Twin Famicom. Though the Sharp doesn't get as much play time, since it is boxed, and in really nice shape.... it's more like one of those centerpieces of a collection that you have a way of being quite proud of. I also own an older Micro Genius clone. I own the only one I have ever found for sale I really like it too though, as it is one of those odd, interesting pieces of gaming history... a clone from before they starting using heavy NOACs. Different, but definitely neat. Got a couple N64 controller styles, and one of the Penguin clones with the Infrared controllers (actually a pretty good controller for a clone).

I have been playing games for about as long as I can recall, and collecting actively for about 6 years. This is my branch out into the non-domestic gaming sector though. Fun fun fun!

Good times all!

*sorry mods, it's early where I am at (well, for me), and I missed the introduction thread. I don't mean to burden you with my carelessness... but if you feel it appropriate, please move this post.

*Had to correct some typos. Yeah, sure felt early
