I already said it in the other thread, but I really think this one came out cool. Just girly enough to attract the ladies, but not so much that it'll scare off all the guys. Awesome.

It just looks white to me, I guess the pink is very light/washed out

Hey at least the black buttons have good contrast

Anyone notice in the end of the video though the game is playing onscreen but when he pans down to the NES the game is not pushed down in the play position?

If you install a new 72 pin connector you dont need to push it down.  Only after you "break it in" does it need to be pushed down to play.

Thats because it has a new 72 pin. It works so good,you dont have to push the game down to play but you can. You can wiggle it, push it up and down and drop it and it will still keep playing. Alot of people ask how I get it to work that good.

I got a couple of questions for youCUSTOM NES GUY.

1.  Would you be interested in buying yellowed NESes?

2.  Would you consider ever doing SNESes, as there seems to be a ton more yellowed ones of those, I actually have a couple I would like to get rid of.

3.  Did you ever think about including original NES RFs and AC adpaters and painting them to match?  As a collector, I prefer all original stuff, no aftermarket AC adapters or RFs.

By the way, I love you work, everything you have done looks beautiful.

Maybe you could do something like, people could send in their yellowed NESes for a credit towards a new painted one?

Better yet, could you do a custom yellowed effect to new systems? I'd like to match up my white DS, with my junk toaster sitting in my entertainment center.

Don't worry Dan, it does look like a pretty light shade of pink...I was expecting a bright hot pink colour!

Yeah, I didnt want a hot pink, I went with a baby pink. As for Lolo's ?'s  1) I usually always need NES's but they must have te door intact and no huge chips. The more yellow the better!  2) I do want to do an SNES although they seem a bit more involved because there grainy all over, they have alot of nooks and crannys that are hard to sand, and I dont yet have a way to reapply the SNES logo although it would probably look god without it. I will do one soon either way.   3) I do have original stuuf and I include it whan I can its just harder to come by. I ve never thought about painting the RF and A/C to match. I guess I just figured people would think its stupid or not really care. How many peopla can actually see these when there plugged in? Thanks for all the compliments everyone, its what keeps me going.

Oh ok, thats actually a really cool feature.
