Okay. I'm new here... and have never done any MODs to any of my machines
(though I've had some done by others or used gadgets and go-arounds).
The NES is one system I've never actually owned, though in the last few
years I've been looking to get one (you know, set it up next to my Atari
2600). Well, just before they disappeared off store shelves, I remember
seeing a top loader version. I was too young to have that kind of pocket
money, and parents thought I was too big for videogames by then... so I had
to pass. Now years later (after seeing years of friends doing the cartridge
ritual), I find that the rare top-loader is even more of a prize than I
thought... and still just as costly as it was 20 years ago!

SO.... is there a way to convert a traditional NES into either a top-
loader, or some other alteration that gets around all the hassles I'm sure
everyone knows what I'm talking about... OR, can I simply get a FamiCom
(which i thought were all top-loaders anyway) and do some sort of pin
convertion (60 to 72) to play US carts? (or better yet... play BOTH)

If this sounds like the words of a dreamer n00b... I apologize. But you
asked, so I posted :)
