Yes just trying to catch up this week. Then I'll send them to you. Can you do both wireless ones and my wired one?
BTW, the stack of broken consoles is huge.

Sweet Mario mod on the NES. What do you charge for something like that? You should try doing a green Link from Zelda next. |
platinumfungi 

| | #9 posted June 2, 2009 at 3:54pm (EST) |
Cloudstrife - Yep. It's basically the "cheaper bulk" purchase. The $45 option replaces ALL the capacitors in the Express so you'll be set to play for a long time
Rictor - Thanks man. I haven't really decided on a set amount yet as it was a custom gig, but due to the amount of work involved probably around $100 for a similar one (both the design and backlit).
I've been thinking about Zelda as well. Any thoughts on favorite "pose"? I'm thinking 8-bit Link from LoZ in the "stabbing towards you" position would look pretty cool.

That pose would look good. You could probably but a switch on the Mario NES, to switch between red and green LEDs...then you would have Mario and Luigi in the same system.
If you could figure out a way to do those case mods quickly and with less work, you'd have a nice Ebay business. Die cut machine maybe? |
platinumfungi 

| | #11 posted June 4, 2009 at 9:10am (EST) |
I could definitely add a switch to change the LED lighting. I also want to do some designs with more then one color so it looks more like the "real" original image.
I'm not very familiar with die cutting machines. However if there is something out there that would make cutting plastic designs much easier and is cost effective I'd be very interested...
