Hitachi Hi-Saturn anyone got?

I've only ever seen pictures of these online, never thought about anyone actually owning one, untill I came here. So is anyone lucky enough to own one of these with the LCD screen, karaoke system and satellite navigation system? I always wanted to own one of these, would love to hear a bit about it, and maybe even see some pics if you have some to share. Cosest I've got is the V-Saturn RG-JX1 and even then it has a popped power board lol.

 

i've got a normal Hi-Saturn but not the Navi version. I'm pretty sure wheela has one though.

It is not like they are unicorn rare, actually there is one on eBay right now http://www.ebay.de/itm/NMINT-MMP-10...pt=FR_Jeux_Vidéo_Consoles&hash=item415cd59806

I lost an auction for a broken system not too long ago which went kinda cheap, I was hoping I could fix it or change its innards for standard Saturn parts.

 

Still the nicest piece of Saturn hardware to date.

 

Yeah, they are lovely indeed. The screen has a good quality picture (although the LT has more pixels!). The TV tuner is very rare although the console / screen aren't too hard to find...unless you want all the bits and bobs that came with it (screws, straps, stickers etc) in which case it is. Unlike many LE consoles, these weren't marketed at gamers per se. They were sold in car dealerships and many were used / abused. (Although more than most LE consoles were made, exc. current gen 'LEs'.)

An old piccie of one of mine.

You could think about you actually owning one! (Gonna sell my spare sets.)

 

#1 reason I don't collect anything beyond the rarity of a JVC X'Eye: I can't afford the insurance premiums.

 

That would of set you back quite a bit.

 

That's impressive and I'm glad to know there's at least one out there in that kind of shape:thumbsup:

Spare sets...hmm.

 

It is an old piccie. I've picked up a boxed TV Tuner as well, complete with trimmings, to complete that set!

(My two spare sets aren't as good sadly.)

 

I'm still shocked you have 3 of those bad boys:drool:

ray:

 

3? That's hoarding.

I hate you.



Just kidding just kidding, hehe. ^_^

 

Once wanted to get the Karaoke uniton from PA.
It went used for about € 200 IIRC, but I was too late.

 

I used to have three of them.


Sold 'em all since then though...

 

I have a boxed & complete standard Hi-Saturn, watched Back To The Future trilogy recently on VCD off of it! GREAT video quality spanned across 2 discs!

Here you got the answer why nobody bothered to open it yet

 

That is sexy man! Thanks for sharing! As much as I'd love to own one, many things would have to come before it as it's a lot of money to drop. Still need to get a 64DD for F-Zero Expansion Kit!

 

I've got a Navi (broken, picked it up years ago), normal HiSaturn and Karaoke units.

 

The Navi interests me because of the LCD screen. Is there any possible way to use it with a standard Saturn unit?

 

This is one of the systems which have caught more interest from me. When I end furnishing and decorating my apartment I think I'll go after one finally. But I'm afraid that, apart of the item price, my biggest problem will be the high cost of the shipping insurance :S .
