I just recently bought an original Famicom from Japan, and upon loading up Super Mario Bros I noticed the verticle lines, which I gather are "jailbars".
I'm only familiar with the US toaster NES, so I've never seen the jailbars before, but I have done some searching and found mostly information about the US top loader has jailbars due to some odd design flaw or something like that, but haven't found much on the Famicom for some reason, possibly because they usually get av modded, etc I assume.
My question would be, is that just normal for the Famicom to have those jailbars, and does it just suffer from the same type of design flaw as the US top loader?
Just curious as I've been a bit worried that I might have bought a bad Famicom console, so I just wanted to find out if that's normal.
I took a pictureof the bars that I'm seeing when I play a game.
