good day everyone ... I have a quick question. I recently did a custom paint job on my SNES and I disassembled it of course. I've got everything back together except for the eject button. I can't figure out how to piece it back together. does anyone here know exactly how it's done? any help would be appreciated. thanks!

I have a picture there of how the eject button sits in. It is a real bitch to put back on, due to the spring you have to fit onto the metal rod.

Ha, sorry, I accidentally hit the link to the copy of my site that is on my hard drive. The link should be correct now.

Any particular reason for the color change?
Any particular reason for the color change?
to look different I guess, and probably cause of the greenish plastic oxygenating problem :S I dunno bout the yellow though ><

just felt like changing the color. i had sold my snes collection a while back, found this system and some games at a yard sale. i figured i would just have some fun with it.

Reminiscent of the later N64 Pokemon consoles. Anybody ever figure out the exact color of spray the SNES matched? Also, the yellowing of the plastic will eventually bleed through any paintjob, although you would imagine that a good layer of Krylon would stop it for quite a while.

Wow, I've heard of SNES's yellowing with age but that's ridiculous!
In all seriousness, nice paint job, looks great.

Why not paint the eject button? It doesn't go well with the...vibrance...of the rest.

You should have the L.A. Lakers sign it and call it R A R E Lakers SNES...

the eject button is painted a metallic silver color, not the flat gray color of the original.
