kevincal Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) SOLD Works ok, like a typical NES. Gotta blow in the carts sometimes. I had to blow on Mario 3 a couple times before it worked. Overall the Top Loader is in excellent condition, as is everything else. Check the pics. Thanks for looking. I accept Paypal or Postal Money Order (preferred).

Murph74 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Not to venture too far off topic, but I was always under the impression that the 'wedge' NES eliminated the 'blow in the cart' problems associated with the spring loaded toaster. I'll assume based on this listing that my understanding is not correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevincal Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) I remember reading another guy complaining about how his top loader was no better than the old toaster NES as far as games that aren't new / well-played / slightly dusty need the same attention to get working on a top loader as they do in a toaster. In other words, even if you have a mint top loader, if you put an old, well used & slightly dusty cart, good chances it won't fire up. All it needs is a nice hard blow, always does the trick. Or better yet, clean the cart contacts with q-tips and alchohol. I thought the same thing as you, but it's not really true that the top loader gets old well used NES carts working quicker than an original toaster NES. It doesn't have the blinking problem from what I've seen, just kind of a blankish screen. That said, I don't want to scare off potential buyers! Everything I'm selling is in great shape, and it only took a few tries to get Mario 3 working, this after the top loader and Mario 3 sat unused for quite awhile. My guess, give this top loader some good quality play time, inserting several different carts to play, and I bet it will fire up first try from then on. I'm overly honest, sheesh!

I'll assume based on this listing that my understanding is not correct? I would think that the top loader NES would be just as reliable as your average SNES, which I've rarely had problems with, and almost always because of a dirty cart. But PLEASE don't blow on your carts! Use a small brush to get the dust off and then a q-tip lightly dipped in 99% alcohol to clean it good. By the way, the included "dog bone" controllers are by far my favorite NES controller! Great shape, nice buttons, it's the way they should have been from the beginning.

NES 101 Toploaders are extremely reliable, unfortunately I busted my dogbone controller... So I use Max controllers as a substitute as the original NES controllers just dont look right.
