    I had an opportunity to secure a container of Nintendo internal use hardware from the 90's.
    Someone didn't pay the lease / forgot this existed and it's being sold to me.

    I am offering to part with some of the units in the container. The ones I am offering are SNES based with a unique boardset.
    Completely custom. Made in Kyoto Japan. All the markings are that early dot matrix labels nintendo used in the late 80's, early 90's.

    It cost me an ungodly sum to get this container. I am trying to lessen the sting, because my loan costs are crazy.

    This is elite tier stuff. I will have pictures soon but viewing is by invitation only.

    I will be pulling out only FIVE maybe TEN units out of the entire lot as I am keeping the rest
    of the trailer of hardware for the museum. It's pretty much the contents of their old dev dept when they
    changed address. It's all stacked and in the trailer since the 90's!

    If you have 1000-1500 and want to get in on this project please PM me.
    You need to be able to act immediately, I cannot stress this more.

    This is not a sale thread, this is a drive for qualified members who can help get this done.

    Once this is settled I will post the pictures for all to see.

    Sucks that I'm at a low point in funds.

    Sounds amazing though, I'm still at a loss as to how you find these things.

    Also: unique chipset?? - ​SNES CD?

    Here's hoping I win those 330 million pesos in the lottery tonight.

    Otherwise, you have my good vibes and my support.

    Very cool but like many others I haven't got the funds being a married man with son and house lone :( Still, this is an excelent find. It may even contain the original SFC that was shown before the final specs were made.

    Sounds very interesting! I'd love to see the pics.

    Is it only console hardware, or are there carts as well?

    Sounds neat historically, but besides being what they are, there's not really much more anyone could do with them but just sit them on display I guess.

    Though this is a community of collectors, so it's a moot point. Just sayin' =p Too bad there's no games there!

    You need to open up a museum yourself Kevin, I'd fly across the globe to see it.

    Hopefully people can back you on this, and damn wish I had a job.
