I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

I'm planing on modding a couple of top loaders for composite out and I wanted to use the Nintendo standard A/V out port that the SNES, N64 and GC use. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anyone who will sell just the A/V port by itself. Does anyone know of some place that will sell just the port? Or if not, does anyone have a dead "parts" system that they wouldn't mind unsoldering the port from and selling it to me? I suppose I could always buy a broken system from ebay but I think the cost of shipping would make it unpractical.

Thanks,

Mitch

I have a few RF units for toasters that are NOS, but no A/V ports. Only a handful of people might have them.

Are you looking for just the AV connectors or the whole AV circuit?
You can get AV connectors in any hi-fi store and the AV circuit can be built with some transistors and resistors.



I built a AV circuit for my pirate NES console and it actually worked, not perfect picture but better than no picture

Reading Mitch's original post, looks like he's looking to add one of the special AV connectors from a SNES, N64 or GC e.g. one of those flat ports that output the AV picture like this:

Yes exactly, I'm looking for the port that you can plug that cable into. The Famicom AV uses it as well. I could use standard A/V plugs but I thought it would look cooler to use the Nintendo version.

You might try finding junk SNES to pull them from...
