Up for auction is 1 custom modded Super Nintendo model SNS-101 (aka Model 2/Jr.).  Power cable included, A/V cable not included.  Installed mods include:
  • RGB bypass (THS7374) with proper attenuation
    • Enables high-quality RGB video output via SCART cables
    • Proper attenuation fixes the overly bright picture output of the SNES Jr.
  • S-Video and CSync restored
    • Restores S-video output for consumer TV's without RGB or component inputs
    • Restores CSync output for professional monitors which do accept RGBs input, but require clean CSync instead of composite video as a sync source
  • De-ghosting capacitor replaced
    • Fixes an issue with the SNES Jr. PPU that causes ugly "ghosting" artifacts
  • Digital audio output (CS8406 encoder)
    • Enables clean, high-quality pure digital audio output for supported receivers
  • Outputs both coax and optical signals via 3.5mm mini-TOSLINK jack
    • Allows the digital audio output to use whichever interface you prefer
  • APU ceramic resonator replaced and upgraded to a crystal oscillator
    • Provides a more accurate and stable APU clock to eliminate audio dropouts via the digita output
  • Light-piped power LED installed
  • 5V regulator replaced and upgraded to 1.5A UA7805
    • Increased power supply capacity for better reliability with flash carts and other power-hungry accessories
  • All electrolytic capacitors replaced with genuine Nichicon parts
    • Increased reliability, as elecrolytic caps tend to fail with age
    • Nichicon capacitors are well-regarded for their high quality and longevity
  • Partial region-free mod
    • Enables playing both USA and JPN carts
    • PAL carts are not supported
Initial bid is $200, $5 increments.  US domestic shipping via USPS Flat Rate box included.  Other shipping options (including international) are available, but covered by buyer.  Attached images are of the actual unit for sale.

All this stuff sounds awesome, however I have no idea what most of it does. It might help to include a sub-bullet under each not-so-obvious mod in layman terms what each benefit is.

The short version is that the audio and video outputs have both been upgraded to the best quality possible, and the power regulation section has been completely rebuilt, a power LED has been added, and it is now able to play both USA and JPN carts (but not PAL). I'll put together information to update the original post with more details.

Edit: Ok, I've edited the original post with better descriptions of the mods, including links with more information (no auction terms were modified).

I love my Starfox 2 cart I purchased from you last October, quality stuff! I've been thinking of buying another one, but possibly overclocked, if you still have any.

Anyway, I'm interested in this SNES Jr, so I'll start things off with the initial bid.

$200

I have most of the parts for another SF2, including OC. It's been awhile since I've messed around with OC though, so I probably need to refresh my memory on that before I sell one. Shoot me a PM if you're serious on that and I'll get things together.
