First time I laid eyes on Futari was a fellow member here Saturn2Dfreak brought the PCB over...dude I was sold in 10 seconds, what an experience.

So quick question how do you tell the difference?

Here's what to look for:

It took me a little longer to track down a 1-Chip Super Famicom, but they are out there too.

Been a while since i picked up some MD games.
These came up for decent prices so i couldn't resist, and work's been good so i had some spare cash.



Alien storm was very cheap and an absolute blast
Midnight resistance and sailor moon bishoujo senshi i've been after at a tidy price for ages.
Finally got them for roughly what i was willing to pay for them.
Both great games but crying out for a 2 player.

Lovely selection there Cat, Midnight Resistance sounds amazinggg. Love that cover artwork too.

 

[NeuroticMoose]

Looks like the SNES I've had as my main playing console was already a 1chip model:


I was pleasantly surprised

I've been keeping an eye out there for awhile. No luck so far. You've given me hope

That's awesome! Nothing like wondering if you should look for one and you already have it Looks like all the questions people had have been answered. I took some super quick pics comparing the 3 different models. I want to do an in depth comparison for the CRT fetish thread, but I need to get my picture settings down before I do that. its such a pain in the ass to photograph CRTs. These are quick and dirty, so they aren't the greatest, but here you go. All the same settings using RGB on a PVM-14M4U.

Original 2-chip SNES


SNES Mini


1CHIP SNES

 

[Wachenroder]

yeah that 1 chip definitely looks better. had no idea

 

[Electric Grave]

Even the regular mini looks better than the regular SNES, thanks for sharing!

It's still been RGB modded so not out of the box mini which doesn't have RGB as standard.

The mini is suppose to be the best/clearest but looking at the pics, the 1CHIP is richer in colour and clear.

I have quite a few SNES/SFC consoles and so will have to check the mobo.

Picked up two more PVM today.
These 2 are the M series PVM-20M4A with 800 lines of goodness which is same spec as the 14" I picked up on Tuesday. Amazing picture from these monitors and both in excellent condition. I also have a BVM and the tube in these is exactly the same. They have a built in mono speaker which is also very handy.
It's quite funny as they both still had the cam number and cameraman name stuck on the bezel

Nice finds. Been hitting up the TV studios eh?

 

[radiantsvgun]

Got these in the past two days- Gaia Crusaders and Gunbird 2. Got these from Sheep_nova on ebay aka excellent.com.

 

[Thierry Henry]

Looking for at least a 20'' or bigger. Not easy to find PVM's in this neck of the woods.

But this is what I've managed to source thus far. Will probably sell to fund for a future "upgrade". I'll see what else is out there.

Also picked up a 2600 Jr.

And some other odds and ends.

I was thinking of getting that same stand for the same purpose, I have a couple of PVMs and this thing could be pretty decent.

I want one of them smallies so bad! THey don't use them at WWE anymore

That stand is not bad for the $$ EG. There is a bit of sideways flex with the 3 heavy monitors on top but it does the trick.

 

[Electric Grave]

I'm only planning on using it for 2, so maybe I'll get away with less flexing?

There's also the individual towers, this line of shelves has all kinds of setups, cheap, modular and easy. My concern lies with the depth of the monitors, do they fit ok or does the back of the monitors hang a bit far?

Edit: I was also thinking of building my own TV cart but this solution is so much easier and cheaper, maybe in the future I'll build something, but for now this looks like a winner.

Persistence has been the key, I also may have connections in some interesting places

A few pick-ups from the last month or so:

Shantae is a really nice physical release for the PS4.
https://thesegacollection.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/ps4shantae01.jpg?w=917

Disk, manual and sound track.
https://thesegacollection.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/ps4shantae02.jpg?w=917

Some Genesis games and a Brazil SMS game.
https://thesegacollection.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/misc-games.jpg?w=917

I'm not looking hard for 32x games but when they come my way for a good price I'll pick them up. The prototype cart was a very nice freebie thrown in from the guy I bought Divine Sealing from. The Proto is from the Super Fighter Team version of Star Odyssey.

Oh, good, another "purchase" post from you. How new and fresh.

As long as you get them before someone else does, it doesn't matter if you're looking for them or not, right, asshole??

I'm sure that will only increase in value when you go to resell it in another month or so, right??

 

[Tanooki]

Kind of curious but in US dollars what would be considered average vs good deal vs getting screwed on the price of a PVM anyway on the various sizes?

I've never seen them around here for years but recently someone popped one up on craigslist but the price looked high to me as it just sat there.
