Yes that's right, I'm getting rid of my recently purchased Famicom console and Famicom Disk System. The Famicom works fine and is in good condition, with very little yellowing. There's a small blemish on the "Family Computer" faceplate, and a small but mostly unnoticeable crack below that. The controllers have scratched up faceplates and could use a good internal cleaning so the control pads can work better. The microphone on controller 2 works fine.
Now to the FDS. I bought this from RCS_Techie a month ago for the purpose of replacing the drive belt (a very common problem with the FDS). While the belt has been replaced, the drive seems to be giving an error (Error 22 to be exact) with or without a disk. I've tried everything, including adjusting the drive speed, head and spindle. I suspect that the drive board has a short of some sort, but I'm not entirely sure. The drive controller IC is an FD7201, so you can use it to write disks and such. I would advise that you have a bit of knowledge about the FDS in order to repair it. Or, you could use it for parts. And of course, the RAM adapter is included.
I ask about $60 for the entire package, and I'm not really interested in separating it. I might though, if we can work out a deal.
