Is it really $100 for a hack Flashback 2.

Is it really $100 for a hack Flashback 2.

 

I was thinking that too but didn't want to be the first to say. I thought the parts were only a few bucks, the unit itself is what, twenty bucks? plus some $$ for the time and expertise...I wouldn't want to assign a price, but it definetly wouldn't be much more than $50 bucks.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong?

Oh yea it's real easy and anyone can do it.

 

Here's a quote from someone who has done it :

The first thing you will notice is how small the connection pads are. If you are not used to soldering I suggest that you practice on an old circuit board because it is really easy to "blob solder" your way to destroying your FB2. Also, make sure that you do not let the soldering iron linger for too long on any of the connection pads so that you do not destroy any of the surrounding components.

So yea go try to do it yourself before you talk about how it's not worth much.

Yea, I agree, I already ruined one fb2 in attempt to mod it. Now I have to get thin solder and try it on my other fb2.

I bet there are fewer modded Flashback II's out there than boxed Waterworlds.

 

It's a cool little system. Check out the new pics.

I want a FB2 but I understand there are three release versions--apparently the early models had glitches running Quadrun, Millipede and Adventure II . How is the release version identified, so that I may ask a seller to look?

[nathanallan]

I agree with the price, because when modding them yes, the parts are not expensive but the work involved is a bit intensive. Cutting plastic so that it doesn't melt or shred is also a chore with a razor knife especially in the grill. It may only seem pricey until you get in there and try to do it yourself.

 

What's the price of avoiding frustration?
