Best way to get a fully modded and chipped Saturn?

 

My wife and I in the US and are trying to get a Saturn to play imports and homebrew.

We are looking to get a 50hz/60hz switch and a UK/US/Japan switch for the imports and also chipped to play CD-R homebrew.

Neither of us have any interest in doing this ourselves, we are both all thumbs when it comes to soldering.

 

There seems to be three ways we could do this. We could a) Try and buy one already fully modded.

I found one expensive place in the UK that sells them pre-modded and chipped, but they are out of the fully modded black switched models.

They do have a white Japanese one that is fully modded and chipped but does it without using switches I think using the reset button to do it, for I think 110 pounds (about $225), and that’s before shipping.

 

b) Buy one of the black ones with just a 50hz/60hz switch and a UK/US/Japan switch, buy a mod chip for the CD-R (found one in the US for something like $56 plus shipping) homebrew stuff then try to get someone to put it in. I found one of these also in the UK for 70 pounds (around $143) before shipping. There may be some cheaper, I’m not sure.

But then I’d have to get someone/someplace else to add the CD-R chip which means mailing it back and forth.

I guess we could use a swap disk but we’d rather not if possible.

 

c) Buy a totally unmodded Saturn and get someone to do all the mods for me. I have no idea what this might cost or who would be willing to do it. As far as I can tell, most people either do the CD-R chip or both the 50hz/60hz switch and UK/US/Japan switch, but not all three.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on the best/cheapest way to do this?

 

Thanks!
