Yoshi648 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Claimed! Free NES console! Two minor caveats. System is untested. Hope you like nature, particularly insects. System is a roach motel. Few dead cockroaches inside with bits everywhere. Knew I was in trouble when I had to use excessive force just to remove the top cover and a dead cockroach fell out when I removed the expansion cover. Figured I ask here before I chuck it into the garbage can, I hate seeing game systems be thrown out. Don't have the patience or time to try to clean this myself. Might be salvageable, would make for some great "before and after" photos. Once you get past the roach guts it seems to be a decent system, all labels are on it and only a few minor chips in the plastic of the top cover. PM me if interested, just pay shipping.

NinjaWarrior Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 How can someone mistreat a system like that or keep in where cockroaches can come in and lay there eggs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfun101 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Don't throw it away! I'll take it and clean it up (outside just in case) and get it all working again. As long as you don't live too far away (ie. if the shipping is over $20, I'm out). I actually have 2 controllers and connections for a NES that I got at a yard sale for $0.50. Now I just need the console to go along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+stupus Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Man, I can't believe people are fighting over a garbage nes that could potentially infect your home with hundreds of roach eggs.....yuk!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfun101 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You know Nintendo knows how to make good stuff when 2 people are fighting over a ROACH infested NES! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfun101 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Man, I can't believe people are fighting over a garbage nes that could potentially infect your home with hundreds of roach eggs.....yuk!!!!! I will be cleaning the NES until it is spotless and eggless outside of my house. I will literally be using a fine tooth comb. Then I will go over it again just to be safe. I'll probably leave it in my detached shed until I get it all cleaned up......roach eggs.....what did I get myself into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grig Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 A few free things left over from the last person who never paid for shipping and a few new things added after beginning to clean my garage (again!) This stuff will end up either in the thrift store or the trash if I can't give it away. Spyro A New Beginning Nintendo DS (no game, just the box and manual), Dreamcast controller (dirty and untested), TV switch (untested), white Nintendo Wii nunchuk (tested and works), Nintendo Wii power brick (tested and works), PS1 Dual Shock controller (not working properly) Traveling Wilburys Vol 1 CD (in good condition) PS1 Oddworld Abe's Exoddus (disc1 only) a few scratches but not too bad PENDING Lot of PC games - Windows 95 through XP - most are complete but some are just discs (must take the entire lot, will ship media mail) two old Heckle and Jeckle & Casper comic books - not in great shape but not destroyed either Just PM me for what you want, only pay shipping. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkfun101 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Good luck with that! You should definitely post some pics of it up and running when it's done! Ugh, roaches... After reading about it, I've decided this is the safest plan to cleaning a roach filled console, besides throwing it away. 1) Immediately Put it in 2 big Zip lock bags 2) Take it over to a parking lot a mile or more away from my house (bring a bucket of soapy water, rubber gloves, toothbrush, paper towels, screwdriver, rubbing alchohol) 3) Put on Rubber gloves 4) Take it apart all the way (with the screw driver) 5) Clean everything thoroughly (all plastic parts, submerge in soapy water in the bucket, everything else, use rubbing alcohol) 6) Clean it all again and even clean the screwdriver used, just in case 7) Put it back together Put it back in the 2 Zip lock bags even though it appears to be clean 9) Throw away the tooth brush, rubber gloves and paper towels used at the parking lot....do not bring these items back to the house 10) Put the NES that is still in the 2 Zip lock bacgs in the freezer and leave it there for 7 days in case I missed anything (If anyone has an easier way to clean a roach filled console, please let me know) Finally, take it out of the bags, test it, fix it if needed, and play the NES like it was 1985 all over again and then wonder why you feel something walking on the back of your neck and legs.....AHHHHHHHH!

S.BAZ Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have a buddy who got a roach-fest NES once. he just took it apart & cleaned the hell out of it, no worries about the eggs just washed them down the drain. the live roaches have long flown the coop & whatever eggs left, just old duds is my bet =low-risk scenario x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
