The Family Computer has arrived!!!

Well, I have to say I'm very impressed with the seller in Japan, it's taken just 7 days for this to arrive:

And to my surprise, it's not the one in the listing photo, this one is much cleaner and doesn't have a broken eject slider, plus it is a lot cleaner :)

Next up will be a strip down and clean, the d-pad cables are not great, but may improve with cleaning, otherwise I may need to find a replacement.

Other than the missing expansion port cover, it's in decent condition externally bar a good clean.

Happy days.

...it's taken just 7 days for this to arrive:

Usual routine for Japan Post and its affiliate EMS.

;)

And BTW, nice machine.

Hope the "rubber_jonnie touch" will give it its splendor back.

I'll certainly give it my best shot to make it lovely again :)

Let's hope that you can get all the necessary mods done to get it up and running in the UK.

First thing is a clean I think, though the internals are quite clean and tidy:

I'm sure I'll be able to get it going, but I do need a 72-60 pin adapter or get some carts specific to this.

Nice. I've wanted a Super Famicom for a while (I would like 60Hz but I don't like the USA square shape). I might get the nerve to order one from JP

Mine came from Japan, but bought via eBay UK, worth a look. You could also try Sendico.

@alexh This is who I bought mine from, they are still selling: Famicom from Japan

Thanks. They have a picture of hundreds of super famicons on their cover page but they are not currently selling any. But I'll watch them

That link is for the Famicom, they have one left :)
