Anyone want me to fix their NES? I have some 72 bit pin connectors lying around and I want practice. Just pay the shipping costs and I'll do it for free.

Maybe you should offer to buy them, so *in case* you rip them off, at least it's a straightforward buy-sell

>> No.707952

Seems legit

>> No.707953

>>707935
Or just vent up the pins a bit.

Yes, totally not fishy at all, considering it takes ZERO skill to replace the connector, since it is not soldered in place and literally SLIDES OFF when you remove the screws.

This.

If you need practice doing this. You probably can't operate the screwdriver required to get the damn NES open to begin with.

It's for practice...that's why I'm not charging anyone anything. I just wanna keep doing it so I can keep improving. I've done it a few times already.

Why do you think I'm sketchy ;_;

All you need is one NES to practice on. You don't have to practice on a different console to make the experience any better. Unless you fuck up a lot.

How about I pay you to send the connector. Then I don't have to pay for shipping and then have you pay for shipping to ship it back.

Many people here have a hard time getting an NES, and the operation is not something that requires practice. It's like making a damn sandwich.

Now if you were doing s-video mods (lol not on NES), that would be a different story, because that's typically more of a pain in the ass than most people are willing to bear.

>> No.708148

Replacing a 72-pin requires about as much practice as inserting and removing a cartridge does.

Even if it required soldering or more difficult skills, which it doesn't, you'd be a gigantic chucklefuck if you used actual consoles as training fodder.
