i few days ago me and my dad where at the swap-meet and we saw a TG-16 at a video game both and he wanted $40 for it..so my dad said hmmm thats a bit too much and i agreed but my dad is a great talker so he got the guy to drop the price to $25
so we bought it.......
but 2 years ago we found a TG-16 at a yard sale for $1.....
so we brought both of my TG-16s out and what do ya know they are different....

ok so here is both of them.....$1 one to the left $25 one to the right


BUT WAIT WHATS UP WITH THE CONTROLLER PORTS

It looks like the $25 one has some kind of adapter stuck in its controller port.

What is a swap meet.

[Paul-FC]

What is a swap meet.

-_-' its like a HUEG lot of yard sales

[nurd]

Yeah, it looks like the metal pins of a controller, or something, are just stuck in the port.

[FamicomFreak]

Yeah I was about to mention that. Have you tried pulling it out?

[133MHz]

Indeed, the controller plug broke and got stuck inside the controller port. Pull it out with a pair of pliers.

[Paul-FC]

my dad keeps saying it looks like a factory job......it isnt?

[133MHz]

It isn't. It's the male part of the controller plug that got stuck inside the socket.

[nurd]

Pull it out, it's broken controller plug pins.

[Paul-FC]

well he got it out.....you guys where right thanks!!

[satoshi_matrix]

I'd like to know more about this swap meet you went to. Was it like a flea market? I've never heard of organized garage sales.

[mobiusclimber]

LOL this happened to my first TG16. Dropped it off a shelf (cuz the stupid controller cord is so short) and the pin connector from the controller broke off in the port. XD

[mobiusclimber]

Man I didn't think it was funny when I did it. And no pliers, I actually pulled it out w/ my fingers. Cut two cuticles doing that. XD
