Welcome to page two..  No, there aren't 513,329 units floating around. No one starts with a unit "1". They have a code. This is most likely unit 13,329 or 3329.

As far as I know, these units were only sold at "SEARS" stores in the united states. The unit came in a plain brown box, and listed the nintendo bit like it was some sort of minor feature.. Needless to say , these things cost a ton, and were poor sellers. You could buy a TV and a Nintendo for far less. No AV, Just cable and UHF.. UHF means "UGLY HAZY F#cking cheap arse bastard get cable." It's a technical term. A switch for the three standards of cable. The units are stereo! Stereo NES with internal composite signal. Not too bad!

The unit needs a bit of cleaning... The bottom has touch on/off , reset, and on the right hand side, two controller ports. Ports very well anchored into the unit, as I am sure they envisioned all sorts of tripping and yanking. When the unit is on, the channel button turns to a "P". P is for play!

The unit has a very nice picture, sound is excellent , and the appeal of built in hardware makes itself readily apparent. Nothing to set up! It's all in front of you, ready to go. I really liked this unit, and if you have a converter, it makes for a great TV / FAMICOM as well. It's not very heavy, and slides well. Great for a Japanese room with a Kotatsu. A bit too low to the ground for the US however.

These units still fetch good money on Ebay, usually around $300. Add $70 shipping, and it hits the $350- 400 mark easily.

THE RUNDOWN:

Pros: Compact, easy to move (handles built in), quality stereo sound and picture.

Cons: If you own a component or HDTV it's a paperweight. It's not very nice as a television given the progress in resolution.

Where can I get one?: Ebay. Ebay. Ebay. Or try going to a million garage sales. Ebay is best. Gonna pay a lot for it though.
