looking to buy a Playstation - pre dual-shock version

looking for a Japanese or modded Playstation-pre dual shock model (the ones that came with some bits and bobs. must be mint or near mint and work 100%.

I issed out on getting this one for 35 dollars+shipping by a whisker (someone else offered the same amount and got in before me):

shoot me a price, but I'm not looking to pay much if possible.

 

anything particularly special about a pre-dualshock? also how can you tell?

 

any particular model# you are after?

 

I have a SCPH-5500 (PAL) model chipped with a Stealth 7-wire MOD chip. It is fully boxed with instructions if you're interested.

 

^^ PAL model numbers end in 2 and not 0!

 

My M8 is the manager of a local GAMESTATION store so I have asked him to keep an eye out for you

you can see the difference for yourself here.

to tell you the truth not sure, is there any more recommended than others?
there's the 1k series and 5k series right?

 

The 5K is pre dual shock but without the A/V ports in the back. I hope I'm right.

 

ah right, I didn't know that. so it'd have to be the earlier models then.

 

Earlier models meaning just the first model, you need a SCPH-100X

 

aight. it jumps straight from 1k to 5k right?

 

There are a lot, I can't remember them all off the top of my head. There might be 1100 (which would also have the external A/V jacks) also theres 300X, 350X, 500X, 550X. I'm not sure which one is the first dual shock console, I believe 700X

 

brilliant, thanks for the data.
so I'd be looking for the 100X model.

 

Yep it's a SCPH-5502. I meant to say it was a part of the 5500 series. It has no audio inputs on the back though as only the 1000 series PSX consoles had these and the debugging stations :-(

It is boxed with bags, polys, instructions & guarantee card though. It also has a new laser.

SCPH 1000 models and debug stations had "power" and "eject" written on the buttons too but SCPH 5000 series onwards had power and eject symbols as well as a new location for the laser (on the right, instead of the diagonal left position of the SCPH 1000 series).

 

Also the parallel port was removed from SCPH-7000 series onwards wasn't it...........or was it 9000?

 

Parallel (for Action Replay) was removed in 900x and PSone.

 

Mine broke again. Need to get it fixed. The only way it would read disks was if you stood it on it's side. :smt043

 

Why do you want a 100X model? They're probably the least reliable PSes around. Do just want it for the RCA audio sockets or something? If so, Sony made adaptors for the later models - they're a box thing that plugs into the multi AV socket and have the 3 RCA sockets and then another multi AV socket on the end of it.



There's also ones for the PS2 which are exactly the same internally, just black.

 

it's also the only PS1 w/ S-video socket...

 

You guys can EASILY switch the laser units of a 100X PSX model with the one from later models, mainly the PSOne 10X model. All you have to do is use the same power cable from the 100x model and switch the plastic cover. I did this with my debug PSX and it works like a charm. You can do this with other models but I prefer the one from the PSOne because the data cable is the same length as the one in the old PSX 100X model.
