WTB Atari Jaguar

I bought a jaguar lot on ebay, but the cartridge slot has multiple bent and broken pins and I don't really have the tools or skills to fix it. I'm looking for just the console only (or even a replacement motherboard), I don't need any hookups or controllers.

 

I do not have a jaguar to sell, but depending on where you live and how much you would want for it I might volunteer to adopt your broken Jaguar.

 

I think I'll be keeping the broken system until I get a working one as the plastic shell is in very good shape on the broken one and it might make since to swap over.

 

Not sure how much you want to spend, but best electronics have replacement boards for $70. They bought all the stock from some of atari's warehouses years ago. Their website is a bit odd but they are legit. You have to call or email them to order.

I appreciate the advice guys. I'm well aware of Best, having bought some lynx stuff from them. Unfortunately their jaguar stock is pricier than I'm welling to spend - I would really like to pay less than $70 for a replacement console/motherboard and I think that is reasonable in terms of the used jag market. It seems Best used to sell the replacement motherboards for $49 a couple years ago ... oh well.

I know I could buy a replacement jag cart slot from Best for maybe $15 or so, but the soldering of the pins to the main board involves a nimbleness and dexterity that I don't think I have The pins are truly tiny and very close together.
